Achieving Zero Trust in Export Control Compliance

This solution brief outlines the collaboration between TC Engine and Axiomatics to address the challenges of export control and compliance, particularly under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). It describes the persistent threat of cyber espionage targeting defense-related intellectual property and the complexities organizations face in ensuring compliance with export regulations. The document details how the Authorization Engine automates compliance through electronic policy enforcement, converting export authorizations into machine-actionable attributes. This automation aims to mitigate risks associated with export-controlled information (ECI) and supports organizations in maintaining continuous compliance. The solution is designed to enhance efficiency by enabling automated compliance decisions while ensuring that employees can focus on their core business activities. Additionally, the brief emphasizes the importance of a three-way match between transaction attributes to determine authorized exports, thereby facilitating a scalable compliance framework for organizations involved in defense-related activities.
