The NDAA highlights gaps in CUI oversight. See how defense contractors can strengthen compliance with accurate identification and monitoring.

For contractors across the Defense Industrial Base (DIB), this rule is a game-changer. It clarifies exactly when and how C

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

Manual review of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) is mathematically impossible at enterprise scale, yet most defense contractors still rely on error-prone tools or outdated methods. Teramis is purpose-built to solve this challenge—delivering automated, high-accuracy CUI discovery, reducing compliance risk, cutting CMMC costs by up to 80%, and enabling rapid post-breach response. This brochure outlines how Teramis transforms CUI management from a manual burden into a

Think national security risks or disruptions to government work. CUI comes in all shape
