Cape Endeavors Commends House Armed Services Committee for Strengthening CUI Protections in the National Defense Authorization Act

October 6, 2025 - Cape Endeavors, a trusted leader in cybersecurity solutions, commends the

House Armed Services Committee for its inclusion of critical provisions for Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) handling, monitoring, and validation within the Defense Industrial Base in the Chairman’s Mark of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). The full U.S. House of Representatives recently passed the NDAA. This action underscores the growing need for robust cybersecurity measures for strengthening CUI protections and enhance overall data protection.

The focus on the protection of CUI handling highlights ongoing challenges with the complexity

and volume of historic data that currently resides across a multitude of systems before the

establishment of Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program. By establishing

a risk based approach to identifying, designating, and safeguarding CUI, Congress is able to

address these critical gaps that could otherwise expose sensitive data to potential unauthorized

disclosure.

Cape Endeavors’ work reflects the kind of innovation needed to meet today’s demanding

security standards. The company remains committed to helping the Defense Industrial Base

protect sensitive information and strengthen overall readiness.

With this legislative development, Cape Endeavors is well-positioned to support the Department

of Defense’s efforts to ensure better information safeguards, stronger compliance, and lasting

confidence across the Defense Industrial Base.
