DEPLOYMENT AND DATA SOURCES

Discover CUI Across the Data Your Organization Actually Uses

CUI does not exist in one standard repository or file format.

Teramis supports discovery across approved Microsoft 365 environments, file systems, engineering content, documents, images, scans, archives, and other supported sources so teams can investigate the CUI footprint across the systems that matter.


Define the approved scope. Examine the data. Understand where CUI exists.

START WITH AN APPROVED DISCOVERY SCOPE

You Decide What Teramis Examines

Every environment is different. Discovery begins by identifying the systems, repositories, business units, projects, and data sources authorized for review.

That creates a bounded technical scope for the engagement and keeps the discovery effort focused on the information relevant to the organization's CUI questions.

Teramis examines the approved sources included in that scope.

DATA SOURCES TERAMIS CAN SUPPORT

Look Beyond a Single Repository

Teramis provides the CUI ground truth that compliance, security, advisory, and self-assessment decisions depend on.

Microsoft 365

Supported SharePoint, OneDrive, Exchange, email, attachments, and Microsoft 365 content.

File Systems and Endpoints

Network file shares, project folders, endpoints, distributed repositories, and legacy storage where supported.

Engineering and Technical Repositories

CAD and engineering content, technical drawings, specifications, design files, and project documentation.

Microsoft 365

Supported SharePoint, OneDrive, Exchange, email, attachments, and Microsoft 365 content.

File Systems and Endpoints

Network file shares, project folders, endpoints, distributed repositories, and legacy storage where supported.

COMPLEX FILES MATTER

CUI Is Not Limited to Ordinary Office Documents

Defense information may be embedded in drawings, scans, images, technical documentation, attachments, archives, and specialized project files.

That matters because discovery limited to obvious folders or simple text patterns may leave important parts of the data environment unexplored.

Teramis is designed to support CUI discovery across the complex content common to defense and engineering workflows.

PLAN DEPLOYMENT AROUND THE ENVIRONMENT

A Teramis deployment should account for:

  • Which repositories are in scope
  • Which data sources and file types require examination
  • Required access and permissions
  • Environment size and distribution
  • Existing CUI boundary assumptions
  • Discovery and validation objectives
  • Whether recurring monitoring will follow the initial scan

The exact architecture, connectivity, permissions, data-handling approach, and supported source configuration should be confirmed during technical planning.

This is intentionally more conservative than the previous draft. The V2 approval document specifically flags exact deployment architecture, data residency, integrations, file-type coverage, and similar technical statements for SME confirmation before publication.

FROM DATA SOURCES TO CUI EVIDENCE

Deployment is not the end result. It enables the larger Teramis workflow:

Discover

Examine approved data sources to identify potential CUI across the systems and repositories in scope.

Validate

Review and validate findings to distinguish relevant CUI from false positives and provide evidence for customer-controlled decisions.

Continuous Monitoring

Use recurring scans to identify CUI that appears outside approved locations as people, files, systems, and business processes change.

Build Discovery Around Your Real Data Environment

See how Teramis can help identify CUI across the repositories, systems, and file types your organization actually uses, validate the CUI boundary, and establish a foundation for ongoing monitoring as the environment changes.
