Huntress Says Sensitive Data Mode Blocks CUI File Transfers to Avoid FedRAMP Scope

Summary

Huntress says Sensitive Data Mode blocks selected file extensions from transfer to its SOC, aiming to reduce CUI exposure and let defense contractors use its platform without FedRAMP Moderate authorization.

Key points

SOC investigations may transfer suspicious files to cloud services for sandboxing; files containing CUI can create FedRAMP authorization requirements.
Huntress says Sensitive Data Mode permanently blocks selected file extensions from transfer through its agent.
Contractors must verify that potential CUI file types are blocked and request activation; SOC analysts and platform users cannot disable or modify the mode.
Huntress says this separation allows its platform to function as a Security Protection Asset rather than a CUI Asset in a contractor’s assessment scope.
The company says avoiding FedRAMP authorization can reduce costs and license minimums and allow faster feature releases.
