CUI Marking, Metadata & Lifecycle Management
All event times are U.S. Eastern time
As federal agencies and contractors face growing scrutiny over data handling and disclosure risks, mastering Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) protocols has become essential. This virtual workshop will explore the full lifecycle of CUI—from creation and metadata tagging to secure dissemination, retention, and disposal. Participants will gain practical guidance on applying consistent CUI markings, managing metadata across systems, and aligning lifecycle practices with agency-specific requirements and enterprise risk frameworks.
The 2026 program will highlight how organizations are aligning CUI practices with evolving standards such as NIST SP 800-171, which outlines requirements for protecting CUI in nonfederal systems and organizations. Attendees will learn how metadata governance, automated tagging tools, and cross-agency collaboration can support compliance, reduce exposure, and strengthen information assurance. Whether you’re responsible for records management, cybersecurity, or acquisition, this session will equip you to manage CUI with precision and confidence across its lifecycle.
