You are not confused because you are new. You are confused because it is written that way.

A free reading aid for defense contractors. The 110 security requirements, the CUI question, the chain of rules, and the Rev. 2 versus Rev. 3 status, in plain language with the original wording beside it. Unofficial, and it says so.

Start wherever you are stuck

  1. I do not know if my data is CUI

    At most 3 questions about one specific set of information, ending in either a determination or the exact email to send your contracting officer.

  2. I need to read a specific control

    All 110 requirements, each with a plain-language version, the original wording, the assessment objectives, and its scoring weight.

  3. I do not know which rule applies

    The chain from contract clause to regulation to standard, in the order you should read it, with what each document does and does not do.

  4. I need to know my level

    Level 1, 2, or 3 is set by the solicitation, not by you. What each level asks for and who checks it.

  5. I heard Rev. 3 changed everything

    It has not, yet. What your contract requires today, what NIST has published, and why those are different things.

The short version

Who has to do this?
Anyone whose contract carries DFARS 252.204-7012 or FAR 52.204-21, all the way down the supply chain.
What is the actual work?
Protect the data, write it down in a system security plan, score yourself, and fix the gaps on a schedule you can show.
Why is CUI so hard to pin down?
Because the government is supposed to mark it and often does not. Unmarked does not mean unprotected.
What if I get it wrong?
A wrong self-assessment posted to SPRS is a false claim. Asking your contracting officer in writing costs nothing.
