CUI Discovery (DFARS / CMMC)
CUI Data Mapping
Reduce the Scope & Cost of Your DFARS / CMMC / ITAR Investment
The security investments required for DFARS / CMMC compliance can be costly — but what if you’re pouring resources into areas that you don’t have to? SP6’s CUI Data Mapping service strategically identifies, centralizes, and minimizes your CUI footprint to reduce the scope, cost, and complexity of your compliance investment.
Whether you just received your compliance requirement and are unsure of where to start, are struggling to understand what Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) is and where it’s located in your organization, or want to minimize the areas of your environment subject to compliance, our CUI Data Mapping service is here to help.
Risks of Overlooking CUI Scoping for CMMC
Underestimating your CUI’s scope increases the risk that certain CUI will go overlooked and unprotected. This can lead to audit failures, delays in certification, additional costs, and critical security weaknesses.
Implementing NIST 800-171 security controls across business areas that don’t require them can be costly and inefficient, as time, money, and personnel are diverted from critical areas to less important ones.
Misalignment can lead to over-engineered or poorly integrated solutions that negatively impact business operations, resulting in wasted investment, user shortcuts, and increased security and data leakage risks.
What does our CUI Data Mapping service look like?
Mapping out how and where CUI flows throughout your organization is the crucial first step to DFARS / CMMC compliance. Our Certified CMMC Professionals and Assessors will investigate your environment to trace where CUI enters, leaves, and flows. From there, we’ll provide suggestions on how to reduce and centralize this data flow, leaving you with fewer areas subject to compliance.
Our Certified CMMC Professionals & Assessors Will Help You:
- Identify how CUI enters, leaves, and flows throughout your organization.
- Identify the people, processes, and technology that interact with CUI.
- Define a strategy to centralize CUI and reduce the portions of your company subject to compliance.
- Develop conceptual diagrams and required documents.
- Save critical amounts of time, money, and effort.
What's Included
An in-depth, expert-led investigation into your operating environment.
A data-flow diagram illustrating how CUI interacts with your systems and supply chain.
An asset categorization in alignment with the CMMC Scoping Guide.
A system-boundary diagram conceptualizing and defining the controlled environment.
A preliminary System Security Plan (SSP) detailing your environment.
CUI Data Mapping Success Stories
Reducing CMMC Scope & Cost
We enabled our client to significantly reduce the cost of their CMMC investment by removing five satellite offices, 400+ employees, specialized equipment, and more from their CUI scope.
Discovering Prohibited CUI Flow
We prevented our client from failing their C3PAO assessment by discovering that employees were breaking CUI transmission rules and transferring CUI out of the designated enclave.
