Supporting GSA CUI protection requirements with AWS In this blog, we will discuss how federal contractors handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) for the General Services Administration (GSA) face a critical reality when the updated security requirements are required to maintain your contracts. The stakes extend beyond business; inadequate CUI protection compromises sensitive government operations and US national interests. The recently updated GSA IT Security Procedural Guide CIO-IT Security-21-112 Revision 1 (January 2026) aligns with NIST SP 800-171 Revision 3 and sets the bar for protecting CUI in nonfederal systems. Learn how Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides security services specifically designed to help you address these requirements efficiently.
