FileCloud’s ITAR Compliance Center Makes Compliance Easier

Compliance Made Easier

Compliance is a vital aspect of many companies as not complying with certain governmental regulations can lead to civil and criminal penalties. However, many regulations can be difficult to understand and enforce, even if you have a compliance officer.

ITAR (United States International Traffic in Arms Regulation) is a type of regulation for any company working in the manufacture, sale, or distribution of defense-related articles. These companies must comply with specific requirements to ensure confidential information is not leaked to civilians, criminals, or threats to the U.S.

This is where FileCloud’s ITAR Compliance Center comes into play.

FileCloud’s ITAR Compliance Center

FileCloud’s ITAR Compliance Center was designed to make your life easier. It organizes your company’s ITAR compliance measures by allowing you to implement and create complex policies within your FileCloud system.

It also has an easy-to-use dashboard that can show you all your current compliance configurations, along with rules enforced or failed.

Administrators can use FileCloud’s best practices and recommendations to ensure compliance, but you can also instantly view and fix any compliance issues within the dashboard.

FileCloud’s Compliance Center has many different security protections in place, and connects admins with SSL and encryption settings, along with customized metadata, DLP, and smart classification.

Rules like “Confirm all users are US residents” are simple and easy ways to ensure requirements are being met.

However, this compliance tool is totally customizable and lets you easily bypass any rule within the Compliance Center if you have another solution in place.

You can also review, archive, and export reports and logs for managerial overview or auditing.

FileCloud’s ITAR Compliance Center is designed to be easy for anyone to use while helping translate and implement complicated governmental regulations.

Self-Host FileCloud on AWS GovCloud

ITAR compels companies to only share regulated technical information or government file transfer, both physically and digitally, with US persons employed by the government or a government contractor. This requirement means that any files shared must have the appropriate protections, with limited access and safeguards against unauthorized access.

You can also self-host FileCloud on AWS GovCloud, ensuring that your data remains totally under your control. Additionally, FileCloud’s ITAR file sharing compliance center helps your company stay compliant by applying relevant policies, security settings, and audit rules to your FileCloud environment. For security, FileCloud’s ITAR cloud storage provides end to end encryption, ransomware protection, FIPS 140-2 encryption, and much more.

Retention Policies for ITAR Compliance

According to ITAR regulations, records concerning the manufacture, acquisition, and disposition of defense articles, DoD file transfer and related data must be maintained for five years from the expiration of the export license or other approval. FileCloud offers complete content lifecycle management with hierarchical retention and archival schedules to meet your ITAR record-keeping requirements.
