Cui Material is any material which is marked with the Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) designation and is subject to specific handling requirements. It is important for the authorized holder to understand their responsibility when creating and managing Cui Material.
Establishing Cui Material
Establishing Cui Material requires the authorized holder to identify the information and determine the appropriate CUI category and markings. It is the responsibility of the authorized holder to ensure that the CUI is properly marked and handled according to the CUI regulations. The authorized holder should also ensure that the CUI is securely stored and protected from unauthorized access.
Responsibility of Authorized Holder
The authorized holder is responsible for determining the level of protection that is necessary for the Cui Material. This includes determining the security measures that should be implemented to protect the Cui Material from unauthorized access. The authorized holder is also responsible for ensuring that the Cui Material is stored in a secure location that is inaccessible to unauthorized personnel. Additionally, the authorized holder should ensure that any personnel that have access to the Cui Material are properly trained in handling and protecting the Cui Material.
The authorized holder is also responsible for ensuring that all personnel that have access to the Cui Material are aware of their responsibilities. This includes ensuring that personnel are aware of the CUI regulations, handling procedures, and any other applicable laws and regulations. The authorized holder should also ensure that all personnel that have access to the Cui Material are properly trained in the handling and security of the Cui Material.

At the time of creation of Creative Commons (CC) material, the authorization holder is responsible for ensuring that the proper licenses are in place. This means that they must identify the permissible use of the material, as well as any restrictions associated with it.
When creating CC material, authorization holders must assess the appropriate level of licensing for their work. There are six Creative Commons license options, ranging from the most liberal license to the most restrictive. The chosen license will indicate how much usage control the authorization holder retains, as well as which users can license their work and use it for any purpose. Additionally, an attribution requirement is part of all licenses.
Once the authorization holder has chosen their license, they should ensure that they adhere to it throughout the lifespan of the material. This means that any changes that are made to the material, or updates that are released, should still comply with the original license chosen. In addition, the authorisation holder should be mindful of their obligations by ensuring that their customisation of licensing terms or any derived works are still compliant with their initial license.
To prevent any potential misunderstandings, it is important that authorization holders ensure that the license information provided with their material is up to date and can be easily accessed by anyone. This may involve the use of copyright notices and metadata tags, or making sure the license information is visible in the “About” or “Licensing” section of a website or app.
Overall, authorization holders must take responsibility for their CC material and the licenses associated with it. By taking the necessary steps to ensure tenure and usage rights at the time of material authorization, they can remain in compliance with the CC licensing system.
