In this episode of DoD Secure, I discuss the new guidance for Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). There are a few points to consider:

1. The government designates CUI

2. CUI Registries, training and information exist with executors at Information Security Oversight Office (ISOO) and DoD

3. The CUI guidance reflects the guidance found with protection classified information. The government owns the information, designates which is CUI, provides markings and notifications, provides oversight, and communicates to the contractor. Guidance for protection classified information that can be applied CUI can be found at:

Careers in Cleared Defense Contractors:
I receive a lot of emails from people who wonder how to get into the Cleared Defense Contractor field. Many are looking for a career change and are curious about what kind of education and experience is needed to work as a security specialist in the defense and contractor industry.

Industrial security is an outstanding field for someone with all ranges of experience to enter into. Some have been hired at an entry level job and have received promotions and additional responsibilities. Others have transferred full time to security after enjoying serving in an additional duty capacity. Career growth occurs as the contract and company expands or the employee takes on more responsibilities after hiring on with another company. Security managers can also move to higher level security positions as chief security officer or corporate security officer as experience meets opportunity.

Consulting:
Consultants are hired by a company to fill a need the organization is not prepared to meet. The consultants share office furniture, the water cooler and are hopefully made to feel as part of the team. In spite of being a well respected contributor to the cause, consultants do not always enjoy the same benefits of a regular employee. However, this difference should occur when working on classified contracts the consultant has been hire to perform on.

Simply stated, though a consultant is not a regular employee, the NISPOM considers them an employee of the company that they represent. The contractor is expected to maintain the consultant’s clearance and assign classified work as specified in a contract.
One thing that I like about security professional organizations like American Society of Industrial Security Professionals International (ASIS) is their
