Export Controlled Software - Leveraging the capability of MKS Integrity to achieve effective export control compliance in a global working environment

Governments worldwide control the export of goods and these controls exist for a good reason, and are not intended to be a barrier to business or an overbearing compliance burden. However as global development accelerates to support ever increasing demands for software complexity, those who operate in regulated environments are finding that Export Control regulations have not evolved at the same pace. Executives are increasingly being asked– 'How are you controlling data movement every day? Can you be sure that the system underpinning your global development is enforcing access rights, permissions and visibility to export controlled software?'

To avoid falling foul of export control regulations, companies are being forced to invest more heavily in controls and infrastructure to maintain compliance and auditability. In this white paper, we look at Export Controlled software, the challenges this presents, how organizations are typically structured to cope and how the introduction of supporting technology can ease the compliance burden, facilitate greater collaboration and enhance performance and efficiency going forward.
