Facing the Technical Data Challenge

Tech Data Export Controls 2013 Update--There Are No Easy Answers

Doing business in 2013 is tough, needless to say. But, doing it while trying to comply with export control rules largely crafted 20-30+ years ago is down right hard. Despite government adjustments to certain aspects of the technical data export control rules, export compliance challenges are growing and changing at a pace far faster than the government changes the export control rules. 100% compliance is impossible. What are you to do?

John Black will highlight key aspects of the current rules and recent changes. He will also offer up approaches to handling the key tech data compliance challenges for 2013, including, among others, these issues:

Deemed exports
Cloud computing
Getting a grip on recent changes to the rules
Finding your technical data and determining how it is controlled
US controls on non-US technical data and technology
US and non-US company collaboration to develop or enhance technology
Emailing to recipients with changing locations
Non-US parties administration of US servers
Dual and third country national issues
Using encryption and other security tools to mitigate risk
Conducting a self-assessment to find and analyze your tech data compliance risks
Merger & acquisition issues for acquirers and targets
Living with the reality of imperfect compliance: Setting priorities
