CUI Basic is a subset of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) for which the law, regulation, or government-wide policy does not set out specific handling or dissemination controls. In other words, it is unclassified information that requires safeguarding and dissemination controls consistent with applicable law, but for which there are no specific handling or dissemination controls set out by the government. CUI Basic is distinct from CUI Specified, which is the subset of CUI in which the authorizing law, regulation, or government-wide policy sets out specific handling or dissemination controls.
