Information Security Oversight Office (ISOO)

ISOO Notices

As of 2026, to support a modernized government information management landscape that must consider both classified information and controlled unclassified information as having national security implications, guidance that in the past may have been issued as an ISOO Notice or CUI Notice will be issued in a single series of ISOO Notices. CUI Notices and Executive Agent Guidance issued prior to 2026 continue to remain in effect in their current format and will not be renamed. However, future guidance that may have in the past been issued as a CUI Notice will now be issued as an ISOO Notice. CUI Notices and Executive Agent Guidance issued prior to 2026 can be found by scrolling down on this page, or by clicking here
