CAT III

Controlled Unclassified Information ‐ Marking/Labeling Media

From: TRADSEC NIPR SIPR STIGs CMD (V2RCMD)

Description

Check Content: General Information: This check is only for unclassified/sensitive media being used in a strictly unclassified physical environment. If all Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) media are in a mixed environment where classified systems and media are in use, then STIG ID IS‐3.2.1. applies and this check is NA. Check to ensure the following standard is met: Regardless of media type, the requirement to identify as clearly as possible the information requiring protection remains. Therefore check to ensure that all unclassified media containing CUI is properly marked according to content. Where it is not feasible to include markings with all of the information required for classified or sensitive documents or media, an explanatory statement that provides the required information shall be included on the item or with the documentation that accompanies it. While For Official Use Only (FOUO) is the primary CUI marking used in DoD, all types of CUI markings must be considered for use as appropriate. For instance: “Law Enforcement Sensitive” is a marking sometimes applied, in addition to the marking “FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY,” by the Department of Justice and other activities in the law enforcement community, including those within the Department of Defense. TACTICAL ENVIRONMENT: The check is applicable for all fixed tactical processing environments where CUI is developed and used. Not applicable to a field/mobile environment.
