CUI Responsibilities for Program Managers
Oversight, subcontractors, and workflow controls
Program managers carry the weight of CUI compliance across the entire program — their teams, their subcontractors, and their deliverables. This module focuses on the oversight responsibilities that PMs cannot delegate: ensuring the right contractual flowdowns, tracking who has access to which CUI artifacts, confirming subcontractor capability, monitoring program-level information flow, and producing the evidence that auditors and government customers expect. Learners practice running CUI through a real program lifecycle: kickoff, design reviews, deliverable acceptance, change requests, subcontractor onboarding, and program closeout. We cover the practical paperwork (SSPs, POA&Ms, training rosters), the conversations PMs need to have with technical leads and security, and the early warning signs that a program's CUI posture is drifting.
