ITAR / EAR Export Controls

International Traffic in Arms Regulations

Export controls requiring strict data residency and US-person access restrictions for defense articles and services.

Value Proposition: Why Choose AdVran for ITAR?

ITAR violations carry criminal penalties up to $1M per violation and 20 years imprisonment. There is no margin for error when technical data related to defense articles crosses the wrong boundary—whether physical or digital.

1. US-Person Only Support Teams

Every AdVran engineer with access to your ITAR-controlled environment is a verified US person. We don’t offshore tier-1 support or use overseas NOCs for after-hours coverage. Your data is handled exclusively by personnel cleared for ITAR access.

2. Sovereign Cloud Architecture

We architect ITAR environments on FedRAMP High platforms—Azure Government, AWS GovCloud, or on-premises infrastructure—ensuring technical data never traverses non-US data centers. Network segmentation enforces ITAR boundaries at the infrastructure level.

3. Access Control and Audit Trails

We implement role-based access controls (RBAC) with multi-factor authentication, ensuring only authorized US persons can access ITAR data. Every access event is logged, timestamped, and retained for audit—satisfying both ITAR and DFARS requirements simultaneously.

4. Integrated Compliance with CMMC and DFARS

ITAR doesn’t exist in isolation. We map ITAR data handling requirements to CMMC Level 2 controls and DFARS 7012 clauses, providing unified compliance coverage instead of fragmented point solutions.

5. Incident Response with Export Control Awareness

If a breach occurs, the response must account for potential unauthorized disclosures to foreign nationals. Our incident response protocols include export control impact assessments and Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) notification workflows.
