[![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/c6bc0f_5eb97828faf64f28a92d43521425f9ad~mv2.jpeg/v1/fill/w_175,h_175,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_avif,quality_auto/c6bc0f_5eb97828faf64f28a92d43521425f9ad~mv2.jpeg)](http://www.indirectit.com) To help defense contractors solve that challenge, Teramis is pleased to announce a new partnership with [**InDirectIT**](http://www.indirectit.com), a Managed Services Provider (MSP) specializing in CMMC, NIST SP 800-171, IT advisory services, SOX compliance, and risk management. Together, Teramis and InDirectIT provide organizations with the visibility and expertise needed to accurately define, protect, and maintain their CUI boundary. ## Combining CUI Discovery with Compliance Expertise Many organizations assume they know where their CUI resides. In reality, years of email, engineering data, SharePoint sites, file shares, endpoints, and legacy repositories often leave sensitive information scattered across the enterprise. Teramis helps eliminate the guesswork by automatically scanning Microsoft 365, file shares, endpoints, and other enterprise repositories to identify CUI across structured, unstructured, and visual data, including PDFs, scanned documents, images, and CAD files. Purpose-built for CUI identification, Teramis delivers highly accurate results while significantly reducing the false positives common with traditional data discovery tools. By pairing Teramis' automated CUI discovery and ongoing monitoring capabilities with InDirectIT's expertise in CMMC implementation, NIST SP 800-171, managed IT services, and risk management, organizations gain a practical path toward establishing an evidence-based CUI boundary that can be validated throughout their compliance journey. ## Helping Defense Contractors Prepare with Confidence Successful CMMC compliance begins with understanding what data must be protected. With Teramis and InDirectIT, organizations can: - Automatically identify and validate CUI across enterprise environments. - Reduce compliance scope by accurately defining the CUI boundary. - Improve confidence in CMMC assessment readiness. - Detect new CUI as it is created or moved with ongoing monitoring. - Strengthen long-term governance with greater visibility into sensitive information. Rather than relying on assumptions or manual file reviews, defense contractors gain objective evidence that supports better compliance decisions and reduces risk. ## A Shared Commitment to the Defense Industrial Base Both Teramis and InDirectIT are committed to helping organizations within the Defense Industrial Base navigate the growing complexity of cybersecurity and regulatory compliance. By combining automated CUI discovery with experienced compliance guidance and managed services, the partnership enables organizations to establish a stronger foundation for protecting Controlled Unclassified Information and meeting evolving CMMC requirements. We look forward to working with the InDirectIT team to help defense contractors move from assumptions to proof, identifying, validating, and monitoring the CUI that matters most. ## Share this post [mailto:https%3A%2F%2Fteramis.us%2FTeramis-Blog%2Fpost%2Fteramis-partners-with-indirectit-to-strengthen-cmmc-compliance-with-automated-cui-discovery](mailto:https%3A%2F%2Fteramis.us%2FTeramis-Blog%2Fpost%2Fteramis-partners-with-indirectit-to-strengthen-cmmc-compliance-with-automated-cui-discovery) ## Keep reading ### [![CMMC Phase II Suspension, CUI Obligations Remain](https://teramis.us/hs-fs/hubfs/ChatGPT%20Image%20Sep%2030%2c%202026%2c%2001_33_42%20PM.png?width=1774&height=887&name=ChatGPT%20Image%20Sep%2030%2c%202026%2c%2001_33_42%20PM.png) CUI Discovery CUI Identification CUI management CMMC Phase II Is Suspended.
