Federal regulation compliance is important for many companies, as non-compliance with governmental regulations can lead to civil and criminal penalties. Even if you have a compliance officer, many regulations can be difficult to understand and enforce.
Companies that deal with defense-related articles and services, or that provide certain technical assistance or defense services are required to comply with the ITAR. ITAR non-compliance may incur hefty fines and penalties to an organisation.
FileCloud’s ITAR Compliance Center helps ensure that your business complies with ITAR.
What are the ITAR compliance basics?
ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations) is a set of regulations from the U.S. Department of State that control the export of defense-related items and services on the U.S. Munitions List. ITAR compliance basics include:
- Understanding which products, services, and technical data are covered by ITAR.
- Classifying and marking ITAR-controlled items and data.
- Keeping ITAR-controlled items and data secure, both physically and electronically.
- Properly licensing the export of ITAR-controlled items and data.
- Reporting any violations or non-compliance to the Department of State.
- Providing training to employees and contractors on ITAR regulations and compliance.
Who is Required to Comply with ITAR
ITAR regulations are a type of regulation that applies to any company that is involved in the manufacture, sale, or distribution of defense-related articles. These companies must comply with specific requirements to protect confidential information from being leaked to civilians, criminals, or potential threats to the United States.

A content management platform (CMP) is a software application or tool that enables an organization to create, edit, manage, and publish content more efficiently.
An enterprise content management platform typically offers a central interface or dashboard from which users can access all the functions and features needed to create, edit, and publish content.
FileCloud’s CMP gives you access to workflow management, user management, permissions, and versioning, making it the perfect way to handle your content from a single place.
The Compliance Center is customizable and lets administrators bypass a rule if admins have another solution outside of FileCloud. Admins can also easily review, archive, or export reports in CSV files to keep them organized and easy to access.
