Remediation - Manual Procedure

Ensure the following standards/guidance are adhered to: 

1.  FOUO, PII and other CUI may NOT be posted to publicly-accessible Internet sites and may NOT be posted to sites whose access is controlled only by domain (e.g., limited to .mil and/or .gov) as such restricted access can easily be circumvented. 

2.  At a minimum, posting CUI to a website requires certificate-based (e.g., common access card) or password and ID access as well as encrypted transmission using https: or similar technology. CUI other than FOUO may have additional posting restrictions.
