Guidance and Expert Advice.

At International Trade Advisors, our focus is on assisting Australian companies to understand their obligations under the ITAR, EAR and Australian export controls.

How can we assist you in meeting your compliance obligations?

As export controls evolve, access restrictions become more complicated, and cybersecurity requirements increase, you’ll need to ensure that you have adequate processes and procedures in place to manage controlled technologies.

Technical Data Labeling

We partner with technology management and cybersecurity experts to ensure our clients have customised tools in place to enable labelling of technical artefacts with applicable security, IP and export controls restrictions. Australian companies seeking US Government contracts should be well aware of the requirements in these contracts to ensure they are meeting cybersecurity standards and enacting measures to preclude unauthorised access of their technical artefacts. Our solutions can help you implement technical data management structures that ensure sensitive, controlled data is identified, marked and protected in a manner compliant with export controls and contractual obligations.

Gap Analysis and Consulting

Ensuring your governance framework is well-thought-out helps to avoid issues and violations. Our compliance health checks can help ensure your organisation is able to manage the access requirements and other obligations under the DTCA, ITAR and EAR. When working with Compliance / Quality / Risk, we can help ensure that in updating your compliance program you are asking the right questions and providing the right resources to staff. Our consultants can review the legislative requirements against your business strategy and provide recommendations for improving compliance so that your business doesn't miss out on opportunities.
