CUI – Training and Resources

Training

All faculty and staff who may come into contact with Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) data in their course of performing their job duties are required to take training. The training required depends upon your job, and the nature of your interaction with CUI data here at the university.

In addition, IT Staff will be assigned various trainings delivered by the Infosec Institute. To see your assigned trainings, please sign in to the Infosec Institute using your WUSTL Key (domain: washington-university-st-louis)

I maintain the physical environment where CUI research occurs (e.g. facilities or admins)

Staff who maintain the physical environment where CUI research is happening need to know about the steps WashU takes to maintain the physical security of these environments. A short, 5-minute Learn@Work video, Working in CUI Research Areas (coming soon), covers the protections you should maintain.
