Practitioner Notes
For information that requires special protection beyond your standard access agreement, require an additional, more specific agreement that addresses the unique handling requirements of that information.
Example 1: If employees access CUI, have them sign a CUI handling agreement that specifically addresses marking, storage, transmission, and destruction requirements. This supplements the general access agreement with CUI-specific obligations.
Example 2: For personnel with access to trade secrets or proprietary technical data, require a supplemental nondisclosure agreement that specifically names the types of information covered and the legal penalties for unauthorized disclosure. Track these agreements separately from general access agreements.
