Understanding CUI
Controlled Unclassified Information refers to sensitive information that requires safeguarding under federal laws, regulations, and policies. Proper handling of CUI is essential to prevent unauthorized access, ensuring data security and compliance with regulatory requirements.
Microsoft Security for CUI Compliance
Microsoft Security provides a comprehensive suite of tools and services designed to safeguard sensitive data, making it an ideal solution for Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) compliance. Here are some key features in more detail:
Data Loss Prevention (DLP): The DLP capabilities of Microsoft Security are designed to help identify, monitor, and protect sensitive information across various locations such as devices, apps, cloud services, and on-premises. It uses deep content analysis and a thorough understanding of sensitive information types to prevent accidental or intentional data leaks. This includes features like policy tips that educate your users about violations before sensitive data gets into the wrong hands.
Azure Information Protection (AIP): AIP is a cloud-based solution that enables organizations to discover, classify, and protect documents and emails by applying labels to content. These labels contain protection settings that help control access to the data, maintain compliance, and prevent data leakage. AIP also includes tracking and revocation features, allowing organizations to monitor what’s happening with shared data and revoke access if necessary.
Advanced Threat Protection (ATP): ATP is a unified platform designed to help organizations secure their enterprise by detecting and responding to advanced threats targeting sensitive data. It uses machine learning, behavioral analytics, and application-based intelligence to proactively protect against a wide range of cyberattacks. ATP also provides tools for threat investigation and remediation, giving security teams the information they need to respond quickly and effectively to incidents.
Compliance Manager: Compliance Manager is a feature in the Microsoft 365 compliance center designed to help organizations assess and manage their compliance with regulations related to CUI and other types of sensitive information. It provides insights into your compliance posture with a risk-based score, and offers recommendations for improving data protection controls. Compliance Manager also includes tools for tracking regulatory requirements and managing assessments, making it easier for organizations to maintain CUI compliance.
By leveraging these tools within Microsoft Security, organizations can create a robust security posture that aligns with CUI compliance requirements.
Cleared Systems' Expert Guidance
Cleared Systems’ experts offer a comprehensive approach to implementing Microsoft Security for CUI compliance:
Assessment: The first step involves a thorough assessment of your organization’s current security posture. We assess your systems to identify potential vulnerabilities and areas for improvement. The goal is to understand where your organization stands in terms of security and compliance, and what needs to be done to reach the desired state.
Implementation: Once the assessment is complete, the next step is the implementation of Microsoft Security tools and services. Cleared Systems’ experts will guide your organization through the deployment process, ensuring that all tools are correctly configured to provide comprehensive protection for your sensitive data. This includes setting up features like Data Loss Prevention (DLP), Azure Information Protection (AIP), Advanced Threat Protection (ATP), and Compliance Manager.
Ongoing Support: Implementing security measures is not a one-time task, but an ongoing process. Regulations and threats evolve over time, and your security measures need to adapt accordingly. Cleared Systems provides ongoing support to ensure continued compliance with CUI regulations. This includes regular check-ins, updates to security measures as needed, and assistance in adapting to new or updated regulations.
By following this process, Cleared Systems ensures that your organization is not only compliant with CUI regulations but also has a robust security posture to protect against potential threats.
