By maintaining a comprehensive inventory of CUI categories and subcategories, the ISOO CUI Registry enables agencies to better manage and protect sensitive information, prevent unauthorized access and disclosure, and ensure compliance with security requirements. The registry also facilitates coordination and collaboration among agencies, as they can easily reference and align their CUI categories with those of other agencies.

Overall, the ISOO CUI Registry plays a crucial role in enhancing the security and protection of sensitive information across the federal government, and supporting the government-wide CUI program objectives of standardization, consistency, and interoperability.
