The FAR CUI Rule is reshaping cybersecurity expectations for all federal contractors.
This new regulation standardizes how Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) must be protected. Among other things, it requires…
NIST SP 800‑171 Rev 3 compliance
for every federal contractor handling or potentially handling CUI.
New FAR contract clauses (52.204‑XX and 52.204‑YY)
that mandate NIST compliance, CUI protection requirements, and reporting suspected CUI even when none was initially identified.
New standardized government form identifying CUI in contracts
identifying CUI in contracts, including marking, handling, and dissemination requirements.
8‑hour incident reporting
replacing the old 72‑hour DFARS window requiring rapid detection and escalation.
Mandatory use of FedRAMP Moderate-certified cloud systems
with “FedRAMP equivalency” eliminated entirely.
Immediate compliance
once the clause appears in a contract, with no phased rollout.
Reporting suspected CUI within 8 hours
even when it wasn’t identified at award.
Clear identification of all CUI in contracts
ending years of ambiguity and inconsistent marking across federal agencies.
Uniformity across ALL federal agencies
aligning all departments under one standardized approach.
