Audit of the DoD’s Implementation and Oversight of the Controlled Unclassified Information Program (DODIG-2023-078)

The objective of this audit was to determine the extent to which the DoD developed guidance, conducted training, and oversaw the implementation of the DoD Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) Program.
