CMMC 2.0 applies to all contractors and subcontractors within the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) supply chain. One of the major requirements of CMMC 2.0 is protecting Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), government-designated information that requires safeguarding to prevent unauthorized access and misuse. However, many people struggle with the proper handling of CUI; this is a major problem because if CUI is not protected, sensitive government information could be accessed by cybercriminals, foreign entities, or malicious insiders. This is where ISEC7’s data marking and classification tool ISEC7 CLASSIFY comes into play.

ISEC7 CLASSIFY is a simple-to-deploy, lightweight solution that takes the guesswork out of implementing a CUI program by defining all CUI categories, as well as dissemination controls. This helps ensure secure and compliant handling of classified information and prevent unauthorized access or distribution that could compromise national security, privacy, or other government operations. ISEC7 CLASSIFY verifies recipient domains and distinguishes between trusted and untrusted email addresses to help prevent spillage and enhances data security by alerting users when classified information is sent outside a verified list so that any spillage can be tracked.

ISEC7 CLASSIFY enforces document marking and prevents emails from being sent without classification, applying protection to the message body, subject, and attachments and ensuring that all Emails, Calendar entries, and SharePoint pages are properly marked and compliant with laws and regulations.
Designed to prevent users from mistakenly or maliciously classifying their communications incorrectly, ISEC7 CLASSIFY is an essential tool for contractors and any agencies with data protection requirements. For those who must adhere to CMMC or have questions about data marking, data classification, CUI, or ISEC7 CLASSIFY, please don’t hesitate to contact the ISEC7 team with any questions you may have.
