with DFARS 252.204-7012 Safeguarding Controlled Defense Information and Cyber Incident Reporting. Do not process CUI on public computers

(e.g., those available for use by the general public in kiosks, hotel business centers), public wireless networks or computers that do not have access control. Personally owned computers and personally owned devices are not authorized to process CUI. Portable electronic devices (e.g., smartphones, laptop computers, tablets), nonportable computers, and removable media (e.g., external hard drives, flash drives, USB drives; not including optical media) must be physically and electronically protected as described in this instruction, DFARS

252.204-7012 and DoDI 8582.01.

C.6.5.3 Dissemination: CUI printed documents and material may be transmitted through mail channels, commercial carrier or hand-carried without formal courier orders. CUI information may be disseminated to DoD personnel and DoD contractors to conduct official business for the program. If dissemination is required outside of DoD personnel or DoD contractors, contact the Government Security Manager for approval. Technical information will follow the release instructions identified in the Distribution Statement. Use secure communications whenever possible; however, land-line telephones are more secure than cellular telephones and should be used whenever available for discussions involving CUI. Transmit voice and facsimile transmissions only when you have a reasonable assurance that only authorized recipients will have access to the transmission. Digital transmission shall comply with the below: All transmission and/or dissemination of CUI (i.e., email and file transfers) must use NIST/NIAP-approved cryptographic products/algorithms, e.g., DoD-approved Public Key

Infrastructure Certification or DoD Safe Exchange at https://safe.apps.mil/ . These are available at http://iase.disa.mil/pki/eca or http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/STM/cmvp/documents/140-1/140val-all.htm . This encryption requirement includes communications that contain passcodes to teleconferences or web conferences where there is a reasonable expectation that CUI may be discussed. When encryption is not available, a government collaborative suite (aka Integrated Digital Environment [IDE]) must be used to transmit CUI.

C.6.5.3.1 Contractor-hosted collaborative suites may be used for digital transmission and/or dissemination of CUI by personnel not located on a government backbone (e.g., NIPRNET), provided the following conditions apply: 1) Use only NIST/NIAP-approved cryptographic products/algorithms. The latest validation lists may be obtained at http://iase.disa.mil/pki/eca orhttp://csrc.nist.gov/groups/STM/cmvp/documents/140-1/140val-all.htm ; and, 2) Use an internally hosted service that does not use a third-party collaborative suite service provider.

C.6.5.3.2 Do not post CUI to web pages that are publicly available or have access limited only by domain/IP restrictions. As permitted by other contract provisions, CUI may be posted to web pages that control access through the use of a DoD approved Public Key

Infrastructure Certification and that provide protection via use of secure sockets, or other equivalent technologies. These are available at http://iase.disa.mil/pki/eca.

C.6.5.3.3 As new technologies become available in the electronics arena, care should be given to providing a reasonable degree of protection from known vulnerabilities.

C.6.5.3.4 The Internet is Public Access. CUI must be reviewed and officially approved by the TACOM Public Affairs Officer for public release before placing on the Internet. This is not applicable when the Internet is used for e-mail transmissions and encryption is used as noted above.

C.6.5.4 Disposal: The contractor shall ensure any covered defense information provided by the Government under this contract is destroyed or sanitized from contractor-owned media and reported in accordance with NIST Special Publication (SP) 800-88, Rev 1, Guidelines for Media Sanitization, December 2014, and in accordance with Section 2002.14 of Title 32, CFR. Destroy CUI documents may be destroyed by means approved for classified information or by any other means making it unreadable, indecipherable, and unrecoverable.

C.6.5.5 Report of Loss of CUI: Report any loss of CUI to the Government Security Manager. Initial reports shall be made as expeditiously as possible in all cases within 72 hours of discovery. If additional information is required after submission and review of the initial report, guidance will be provided at that time. Initial report content shall include the following information as available.

C.6.5.5.1 Applicable dates, including dates of compromise and dates of discovery.
