Always verify if the technology is ITAR compliant, or if the vendor is also ignoring “the
important.” This means ensuring that there is no access, involvement or control by non-U.S.
persons on the backend of the technology an enterprise is considering.

To fully protect your company from compliance violations and reputation loss, don’t assume
your business operations are fully compliant from the beginning nor that vendor claims of
compliance exist unless verified, especially when handling something as sensitive as defense-
related data. Regularly research, ask questions, monitor and conduct audits of the collaboration
technology within a company, to ensure technical information is kept in safe hands.
