Comply With the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR)

Make protecting your sensitive technical data your number one priority with Seclore’s data-centric security platform.

Data Classification

ITAR mandates the proper classification of technical data as either “U.S.-origin” or “foreign-origin.”

Access Controls

ITAR requires organizations to implement strict access controls to ensure that only authorized individuals have access to sensitive technical data.

Data Encryption

ITAR emphasizes the importance of data encryption to protect sensitive technical data in transit and at rest. This includes using strong encryption algorithms and implementing secure key management practices.

What is the International Traffic In Arms Regulations?

The International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) are a set of U.S. government regulations that control the export and import 1 of defense articles and related technical data. ITAR was established in 1976 under the Arms Export Control Act to safeguard national security by preventing sensitive military technologies from falling into the wrong hands. It applies to U.S. persons, U.S. companies, and foreign persons and companies in the United States.
ITAR compliance is crucial for companies involved in the defense industry, as violations can result in severe civil and criminal penalties. It requires careful consideration of export licenses, technical data controls, and compliance with strict record-keeping requirements.

Why data-centric security important for ITAR compliance

Utilizing a data-centric security approach is essential in ensuring ITAR compliance. The regulation is highly focused on protecting technical data regardless of its location or device. Unlike traditional permitted-based security approaches, data-centric security focuses on implementing security measures directly on the data itself, which is fundamentally aligned with ITAR core principles.

Seclore can assist organizations in achieving ITAR compliance by providing robust data-centric security solutions that protect sensitive technical data. The platform enables organizations to enforce granular access controls, track data usage, and revoke access remotely, ensuring that only authorized individuals can access and use ITAR-controlled information.
