New partnership combines Teramis CUI discovery and ongoing monitoring with PreVeil's end-to-end encrypted enclave to help organizations accurately scope, secure, and maintain CMMC compliance. Teramis, the purpose-built Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) discovery and ongoing monitoring platform for defense contractors, today announced a strategic partnership with PreVeil, the encrypted email and file-sharing platform trusted by thousands of organizations pursuing CMMC

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

Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) protection isn’t a “nice to have” anymore. If your organization touches CUI—especially as a contractor or partner in the Defense Industrial Base—spillage can cost you in contracts, remediation, legal exposure, and reputation. The good news: preventing CUI spillage doesn’t require lighting your budget on fire. The smartest programs focus on a tight mix of clarity (what is CUI), control (who can access it), and containment (how it can m

For years, cybersecurity compliance in the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) has been framed as an IT problem. A checklist. A maturity model. Something to survive long enough to pass an audit. The November 2025 National Security Strategy of the United States makes clear that era is over. The document does not mention CMMC by name, but it doesn’t need to. Its language fundamentally reframes how the U.S. government views cyber risk across the defense supply chain. The shift is unm

The Department of Defense (DoD) has issued the long-anticipated final DFARS rule that locks the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) into defense contracts. Effective November 9, 2025, safeguarding Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and Federal Contract Information (FCI) is no longer just best practice—it’s a contractual requirement. For contractors across the Defense Industrial Base (DIB), this rule is a game-changer. It clarifies exactly when and how C

In the fast-paced realm of defense contracting, where deadlines loom and collaborations span multiple teams, CUI spillage can emerge as an unexpected roadblock to achieving Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2. Drawing from our hands-on experience steering contractors through NIST SP 800-171 assessments and CMMC certifications, I've witnessed how this issue can quietly undermine even well-prepared organizations. But fear not—by grasping the nuances of CU

CUI spillage threatens CMMC compliance. Teramis finds, resolves it across systems, ensuring data security, compliance with minimal disruption.
