"CUI Controlled Item" Labels

• Pack of 10 Labels (0.75" x 1.5")

• Durable Materials: Made from tamper-evident, weather-resistant aluminum embossed metal label for long-lasting use on various surfaces, including electronics, filing cabinets, and storage media.

• Regulatory Compliance: Meets ITAR (22 CFR § 123.9), EAR (15 CFR § 734.13, § 760.1) and CUI (32 CFR § 2002.20) alternate marking requirements for proper identification of controlled items and information when accompanied by SF 901, IAW CUI Notice 2020-02. NIST/CMMC controls MP.L2-3.8.1, 3.8.2, 3.8.4
• Versatile Application: Suitable for labeling physical containers or items (e.g., parts, components, USB drives, hard drives, portable hard drives, equipment) and digital assets containing ITAR-controlled technical data or CUI.

• Physical Asset Labeling: Apply to laptops, desktop monitors, external hard drives, CDs, USB drives, filing cabinets, printers, or any equipment that stores or processes ITAR-controlled items or CUI when a BAR code is not desired, to alert personnel of their sensitive nature (per DFARS/32 CFR § 2002.20 and NIST SP 800-171, MP.L2-3.8.4).
• Inventory Segregation CUI Controlled Parts/Items from Normal Parts: Integrate into inventory systems by affixing labels to controlled item bins to ensure proper tracking, segregation, and recordkeeping as required by ITAR/EAR and CUI regulations.
• Restricted Area Notification: Pair with CUI Restricted Area Signs to designate secure storage areas and reinforce compliance with access control requirements (NIST SP 800-171, PE.L2-3.10.3).
• Prevent Unauthorized Access: Labels serve as a visual reminder to restrict access to authorized personnel and prevent inadvertent disclosure of sensitive information.

1. Step 1. Identify CUI Controlled Items: Determine which items represent CUI categories per the CUI Registry, such as Export Controlled Information (ITAR/EAR) or Controlled Technical Information (CTI). Consult DoD Instruction 5230.24 and the CUI Registry if unsure.

1. Step 2. Apply Labels: Affix durable labels to the surface of physical storage or media (e.g., Inventory bins, storage shelves, USB drives, monitor).  Per CUI Notice 2020-2, complete an SF 901 Cover Sheet and describe the general application of the labels along with the specific CUI designation information related to the items.

1. Step 3. Segregate and Secure: Segrate and store labeled CUI controlled items in restricted areas or designated storage areas (e.g., locked cabinets, identified shelves, restricted rooms, or areas). Combine with "CUI Restricted Area" signs to notify personnel of restrictions to the area.

1. Step 4. Train Staff: Educate employees on recognizing and handling labeled CUI controlled items  maintain compliance with US DoD and US Federal CUI handling requirements for NIST SP 800-171.

1. Step 5. Audit, Document, and Track: Regularly audit labeled items to ensure compliance with restrictions, recordkeeping (22 CFR § 122.5) and CUI marking requirements (32 CFR § 2002.20). Ensure the methods used are identified in your marking SOP and as part of your Technology Control Plan (TCP) for ITAR compliance (when applicable). 

• Risk Mitigation: Reduces the risk of failing to meet CUI marking requirements for NIST SP 800-171, unauthorized access, data breaches, or ITAR/EAR violations, which can lead to severe penalties, including fines or loss of export privileges.
• Audit Readiness: Supports compliance with Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC), DFARS 252.204-7012, FAR CUI Rule, and NIST SP 800-171 by ensuring proper marking and handling of sensitive information.
• Employee Awareness: Reinforces a culture of security by clearly identifying controlled items, promoting proper handling, and preventing accidental disclosure in accordance with CUI Notice 2020-3.
• Streamlined Processes: Simplifies inventory management, segregation, and compliance tracking by marking with labels and SF 901.
