Meet MP.L2-3.10.1 by placing this sign in RESTRICTED areas/rooms that hold, print, process, or create Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) (32 CFR 2002 and NIST SP-800-171). A great way to assist you in being above reproach in your compliance efforts is to hang a sign that indicates CUI is present. 

How to Use CUI Restricted Area Signs

CUI Restricted Area Signs are used to clearly identify rooms, work areas, storage spaces, and controlled environments where Controlled Unclassified Information is held, printed, processed, discussed, stored, or created.

Place these signs at entrances to areas where employees handle CUI, including engineering offices, program rooms, manufacturing work cells, labs, server rooms, IT closets, print/copy areas, document storage rooms, inspection areas, and other spaces where access should be limited to authorized personnel.

For best results, install signs at eye level near the entry point before someone enters the controlled space. Larger 12" x 8" signs work well for doors, hallways, production areas, labs, and larger controlled spaces. Compact 4" x 6" signs are useful for cabinets, smaller rooms, toolboxes, storage containers, workstations, or secondary access points.

CUI Restricted Area Signs should be used as part of a broader physical CUI protection system. These signs help communicate that CUI is present and that access should be limited to authorized personnel, but they should be paired with access control procedures, visitor escorting, employee training, CUI media labels, SF 901 cover sheets, CUI floor tape, and proper storage/destruction practices.

Best used for: controlled areas, CUI rooms, engineering departments, labs, production work cells, server rooms, IT closets, file storage areas, print/copy stations, conference rooms, inspection areas, and CUI storage locations.

Recommended use: Place signs anywhere a person should recognize they are entering or approaching an area where CUI may be present and special handling procedures apply.
