Which term is described as Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), a category defined for information that requires safeguarding or dissemination controls but is not classified?

• A. Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI)
• B. Control Markings
• C. Cooperative Program
• D. Corporate Family

Answer: (A)

Controlled Unclassified Information is the designation for information that requires safeguarding or dissemination controls but is not classified. This category covers sensitive material that doesn’t meet the thresholds for Confidential, Secret, or Top Secret but still needs controlled handling, marking, and access restrictions under the CUI program. Control markings are the labels used to indicate how CUI should be handled, but they describe how information is marked rather than the category itself. The other terms refer to unrelated concepts.
