Which role is identified as part of CUI oversight?

• A. CUI Policy Official
• B. Chief Information Security Officer
• C. Public Affairs Officer
• D. Project Manager

Answer: (A)

CUI oversight is about policy governance and how the program is run across the organization. The person responsible for that governance is the CUI Policy Official. This role sets and enforces the rules for designating, marking, handling, storing, and safeguarding Controlled Unclassified Information, and coordinates policy implementation across teams and programs. They ensure everyone follows the same standards and that training, compliance checks, and designation processes align with the governing CUI policy.

The Chief Information Security Officer focuses on securing information systems and applying technical controls, not the overarching policy direction for CUI. The Public Affairs Officer handles communications and outreach, not policy oversight. The Project Manager runs project workstreams and timelines, rather than policy governance for CUI.
