Technology Control Plans

A Technology Control Plan (TCP) helps ensure that controlled materials will not be accessed by unauthorized persons. The need for a plan occurs whenever Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), ITAR, CCL or other controlled items or data are present or developed on campus.

What do I need to consider?

The most common use of a TCP is to identify controlled materials or data and describe how these items will be secured on campus. It includes plans for storage, processing, transmission of the information or items and procedures for guarding against unauthorized access by individuals or entities. 

There is a cost to protecting controlled materials so it should be considered when preparing a budget for a grant application or contract. GRS and KUIT can assist you with developing the infrastructure to properly store, process, and transmit information or materials. Be sure your project sponsor is aware of the need for additional security measures related to the project.  If you are awarded a contract or grant and did not budget for the necessary security costs, funds will need to be identified from other sources to cover these required expenses. 

How will I know?

GRS reviews all federal awards including but not limited to DOD, DOE, NASA, NIH, and NSF for restrictions. However, you may recognize the need to for these protections in solicitations where the following clauses are present.

GRS can assist you in identifying the need for additional security. Contact GRS via email GRS@ku.edu or phone 785-864-0821 to discuss.
