This is the authority by which ITAR is enforced.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block\">The regulations themselves are programmed to <strong>restrict and control the import and export of defense and military-related items, technologies, and services<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block\">The impact of this regulatory goal is that any item or service subject to the regulations must be included on the United States Munitions List (USML), compiled, and maintained by the State Department, which is responsible for the administration of ITAR.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block\">ITAR is implemented by the State Department\u2019s Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC). Items listed on the USML may be shared only with a U.S. citizen who is geographically located in the United States. Any deal involving a non-US person requires either authorization or an exemption from the DDTC.<\/p>\n<p>The penalties for ITAR violations, both criminal and civil, are substantial. Criminal penalties may include fines of up to a million dollars per violation and 10 years\u2019 imprisonment, while civil fines can be as high as half a million dollars per violation. Failure to comply with ITAR may also damage an organization\u2019s reputation and ability to conduct business. The State Department maintains publicly available records of all penalties and violations dating back to 1978. Lastly, organizations and individuals run the risk of being completely debarred from exporting defense-related services and items.<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, that means controlling the flow of information and understanding exactly who has access to information and what they can do with that access is vitally important for any company subject to ITAR.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FileCloud_for_ITAR\"><\/span>FileCloud for ITAR<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>FileCloud is a secure Enterprise File Sharing and Sync (EFSS) solution that offers file storage, access controls, and data governance tools. When using FileCloud for ITAR, the platform can be tailored specifically to support organizations who deal with ITAR- and EAR-regulated data.
