Sensitive But Unclassified (SBU) is a U.S. designation of information, often referred to as "Sensitive Homeland Security Information".
SBU is a broad category of information including For Official Use Only (FOUO), Law Enforcement Sensitive (LES), Security Sensitive Information (SSI), Critical Infrastructure Information (CII), etc.
Some categories of SBU information have authority in statute or regulation (e.g. SSI, CII) while others (FOUO) do not.
"FOUO" is primarily a Department of Defense phrase/acronym. Other government departments use it, but many have also come up with their own, similar phrases, to include "Sensitive but Unclassified".
