CUI EVIDENCE AND VALIDATION

Turn CUI Findings Into Evidence You Can Defend

Finding potential CUI is the beginning. The next question is whether your organization can explain what was found, where it was found, and how those findings affect the documented boundary.

Teramis helps validate discovery results and organize them into a clearer evidence base for CUI scoping, boundary review, and ongoing monitoring.


Move from possible matches to evidence-backed CUI visibility.

WHY VALIDATION MATTERS

A List of Possible Matches Is Not a CUI Boundary

Discovery can surface potential CUI across a large environment. Validation helps teams determine which findings are meaningful and how they relate to the organization's actual CUI footprint.

Without that step, teams may expand scope around false positives, overlook meaningful exceptions, or build compliance documentation from information that has not been sufficiently reviewed.

Teramis connects discovery with validation so CUI decisions are based on a more supportable record.

FROM DISCOVERY TO EVIDENCE

Build Confidence in What Was Found

Review findings

Organize discovery results by available file, repository, location, and finding information.

Validate results

Apply the appropriate review and validation process to distinguish meaningful CUI findings from irrelevant results.

Document exceptions

Identify findings that do not align with expected or approved CUI locations.

Establish the record

Create a clearer CUI inventory and baseline that teams can use for boundary review and future monitoring.

Review findings

Discover CUI across approved Microsoft 365 environments, file systems, email, endpoints, CAD files, PDFs, scanned documents, archives, engineering repositories, and other supported sources. 

 Explore CUI Discovery 

Validate results

Validate findings and produce evidence that helps executives, advisors, compliance teams, and government or prime-contractor reviewers understand whether the documented boundary matches the actual environment.

 Explore Evidence and Validation 

Document exceptions

Run recurring scans to identify new CUI, movement, spillage, and boundary drift before the next assessment, annual affirmation, prime contractor request, or internal review. 

 Explore Ongoing Monitoring 

Establish the Record

Create a clearer CUI inventory and baseline that teams can use for boundary review and future monitoring.

WHAT EVIDENCE AND VALIDATION PRODUCES

Make the CUI Environment Easier to Review

Teramis can provide:

Validated CUI inventory information

A structured view of relevant findings within the approved discovery scope.

File and location evidence

Information showing where findings were identified.

Boundary exceptions

CUI findings that appear outside documented or expected locations.

Information supporting how discovery results were evaluated.

Monitoring baseline

A starting point for comparing future scans and identifying changes over time.

BETTER TOGETHER WITH YOUR EXISTING STACK 

Microsoft Purview

Use labels and compliance workflows with stronger CUI discovery evidence. 

Varonis

Support access governance with clearer visibility into where CUI exists. 

Forcepoint and DLP Tools

Strengthen enforcement strategies by starting with better CUI ground truth.

GRC & Evidence Binders

Connect documentation, control evidence, and boundary decisions to the actual CUI footprint.

CUI DISCOVERY FOR HIGH-STAKES DECISIONS

One Evidence Layer. Multiple CMMC and Risk Use Cases. 

CUI Scoping

Identify where CUI actually exists before defining the systems, users, repositories, and controls that belong inside the boundary that must meet NIST SP 800-171.

CUI Boundary Validation

Compare the documented boundary with the actual data environment and identify exceptions that require review or customer action.

CUI Migration Support

Identify and report the files, locations, and findings administrators need when planning customer-led movement into approved environments.

Ongoing CUI Spillage Management

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

Post-Breach CUI Impact Assessment

Examine affected systems and repositories to help determine whether CUI may have existed within the impacted environment.

Supply Chain and M&A Risk Review

Evaluate whether the actual CUI footprint supports representations made during vendor reviews, acquisitions, integrations, and supply-chain due diligence.

Make the Documented Boundary Match Reality

Compare What the Organization Says With What the Data Shows

A System Security Plan, asset inventory, network diagram, and enclave documentation describe the intended environment.

Teramis provides technical findings that help teams compare those records with the CUI footprint discovered in the actual environment.

When the documentation and the discovered data tell the same story, boundary decisions become easier to support. When they do not, teams know where further review is needed.

Evidence for the Teams Making the Decision

Security, IT, compliance, leadership, advisors, MSPs, MSSPs, and self-assessment teams may need different views of the same CUI environment.

Teramis gives those stakeholders a common technical evidence base without taking over the decisions that belong to them.

Teramis does not certify an organization or guarantee a compliance or audit outcome. Remediation of validated findings is available through Remedius.
