# Contractors Review NIST CUI Standards

A virtual webinar on November 12, 2026, from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. will explain NIST SP 800-171 Revision 3, compare it with Revision 2, and discuss its relevance to GSA CUI guidance and the proposed FAR CUI Rule. Federal contractors handling Controlled Unclassified Information—particularly defense contractors currently using Revision 2—can use the session to understand potential compliance-planning impacts; the proposed rule is not described as a finalized government-wide requirement. The webinar offers one CPE credit, and registration is available online.

- Contractors currently applying Revision 2 can use the session to identify changes in Revision 3 and assess their planning implications for CUI protection.
- Because the FAR CUI Rule is proposed, organizations should distinguish current obligations from potential future requirements rather than treating the proposal as final.
- The session is scheduled for November 12, 2026 (in two days); inquiries can be directed to Matt Frost at MattF@WisPro.org.
