International Traffic in Arms (ITAR)

Whether it is data in use, in motion, or in storage, Digital Guardian allows your organization to locate, secure, and document the compliance status of ITAR data throughout the extended enterprise.

What is ITAR?

The International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) is a set of United States government regulations that control the export and import of a specific list of defense-related munitions and services. Designed to control access to various types of technology and information associated with them by nationality and geography, ITAR prevents the disclosure of sensitive data to organizations or individuals overseas, in order to safeguard US national security. The detail of the rules are very complex and rigorously applied.  

Fortra’s Digital Guardian can help you comply with ITAR

Fortra's Digital Guardian can help organizations comply with ITAR by providing comprehensive data protection solutions that address key aspects of ITAR compliance, particularly around the control and monitoring of export-controlled technical data. Here’s how: 

Data Encryption

Digital Guardian provides robust encryption for data both at rest and in transit. This ensures that ITAR-controlled information is protected from unauthorized access or interception, whether it’s stored locally, shared over networks, or transmitted across borders.

Monitoring and Audit Trails

Digital Guardian provides continuous monitoring and detailed audit trails of all interactions with ITAR-controlled data. This helps organizations track who accessed the data, when, and what actions were taken, providing the necessary documentation to demonstrate ITAR compliance during audits.

Data Loss Prevention (DLP)

Digital Guardian’s DLP features prevent unauthorized transfers of ITAR-controlled data, whether via email, removable media, or other channels. The solution can block, alert, or report attempts to export or share controlled information without proper authorization.

Incident Response

Digital Guardian enhances incident response capabilities by providing real-time alerts for any suspicious activity involving ITAR-controlled data. The platform enables organizations to quickly identify, contain, and mitigate potential breaches, helping to minimize the impact and ensure compliance with ITAR’s incident response requirements.

Controlled Environment Management:

Digital Guardian can enforce policies that ensure ITAR-controlled data remains within approved environments, preventing accidental or unauthorized transfers to systems or locations that do not meet ITAR requirements.

Third-Party Vendor Management

Digital Guardian helps manage and monitor third-party access to ITAR-controlled data, ensuring that vendors and partners adhere to the organization’s ITAR compliance policies. This includes enforcing encryption and access control policies for third-party interactions
