CMMC and AI Governance: How to Keep CUI Out of AI Tools

Organizations adopting the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) must apply data governance principles to artificial intelligence (AI) to prevent controlled unclassified information (CUI) from entering unauthorized AI tools. Rather than banning AI entirely, practitioners should discover CUI, tag it, control its flow, and document compliance using the same frameworks that support CMMC requirements.

Why it matters: Defense contractors and organizations handling CUI face regulatory and contractual pressure to maintain CMMC compliance; failing to govern AI as a data channel risks unauthorized disclosure and audit failures.
