FutureFeed Announces Partnership with Teramis to Bring Fully Automated CUI Discovery to the CMMC Ecosystem Defense contractors and FutureFeed partners can now identify and validate their CUI boundary automatically, eliminating scoping guesswork. FutureFeed, the leading compliance platform for NIST SP 800-171 and CMMC, today announced a partnership with Teramis, provider of a fully automated Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) discovery and continuous monitoring tool. Un

Most organizations begin their CMMC journey by evaluating technologies, comparing service providers, or estimating certification costs. While these activities are important, they often occur before the organization has answered the most fundamental question in the entire compliance process: Where is our Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI)? That question was the focus of a recent discussion on Cape Endeavors' Bytes & Brew podcast featuring Terry McGraw, Dewayne Alford, A

LORIS, SC, June 10, 2026 -- Teramis, the leading platform for Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) discovery, validation, and continuous monitoring, today announced that Stacy Bostjanick, former Chief of Defense Industrial Base (DIB) Cybersecurity within the Office of the Department of Defense Chief Information Officer, has joined the company's Advisory Board. Bostjanick brings more than three decades of federal acquisition, cybersecurity, and defense contracting experi

Defense contractors handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) must achieve CMMC Level 2 compliance to remain eligible for Department of Defense (DoD) contracts as enforcement phases advance into 2026. The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program, effective for new solicitations since November 10, 2025, mandates implementation of 110 security practices from NIST SP 800-171 for Level 2. Phase 2 enforcement begins November 10, 2026, requiring third-part

Introduction to CUI Marking Challenges Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) serves as a critical mechanism for protecting sensitive but unclassified data in the defense supply chain. Proper CUI marking ensures that information receives appropriate safeguards without imposing excessive restrictions or costs. Inconsistent or excessive CUI marking by federal employees frequently results in over-classification, which expands compliance scope and increases expenses for smal

The CUI program, established by Executive Order 13556, standardizes the safeguarding of unclassified information that requires protection across executive branch agencies and their contractors. DoD Instruction 5200.48 provides specific guidance for designation, marking, handling, dissemination, and training related to CUI. Defense contractors supporting DoD contracts must apply these requirements to all information systems that process, store, or transmit CUI, including cloud

The market for CMMC compliance software has exploded. Dashboards, control trackers, SSP generators, workflow tools, and policy libraries all promise to simplify compliance for defense contractors navigating CMMC, DFARS, and NIST 800-171. And to be fair, many of these tools are helpful. But most CMMC compliance software is built on a flawed assumption: that organizations already know where their Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) exists. In reality, that assumption is a

Proper CMMC scoping is one of the first and most important steps defense contractors must take to protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). This guide breaks down how to identify CUI correctly and classify your assets so your compliance boundary is accurate and cost-effective. Too many organizations over- or under-scope, which creates security gaps or wastes budget. Read on for a clear explanation of scoping, the role of precise CUI detection, asset categories you ne
