Defining the Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) boundary is central to an effective, cost-efficient CMMC Level 2 strategy. Too often, organizations treat all data labeled CUI as permanently sensitive across their networks. In reality, DoD guidance allows recipients to use a decision-tree process to reduce what remains CUI, easing compliance. With a minimized footprint, sensitive data can often be isolated in a CMMC-compliant enclave, lowering both risk and cost. This presentation will unpack the decision logic, highlight key scoping guidance, and outline how to architect a defensible CUI boundary.
