Military-grade security for defense contractor supply chain compliance
ITAR.APP was developed in 2018 by Carl B. Johnson, President and CISO of Cleared Systems, with over 25 years of experience in ITAR, export controls, NIST, and CUI compliance. Our mission is to provide defense contractors with the industry's most secure air-gapped solution for ITAR compliance and technical data protection.
ITAR.APP employs FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic modules for all data protection. Our implementation includes AES-256 encryption for data at rest and TLS 1.3 for secure data transfers within your air-gapped environment. All encryption keys are generated within your secure enclave, ensuring complete data sovereignty.
Our solution operates completely offline in your secure environment, with no internet connectivity requirements. This physical isolation eliminates external attack vectors and meets NIST SP 800-53 high-security controls for systems containing classified or controlled unclassified information (CUI).
ITAR.APP maintains cryptographically verified audit logs that track every interaction with technical data. Our immutable ledger technology ensures that all system activities are logged with digital signatures and timestamps, creating a verifiable chain of custody that satisfies DFARS 252.204-7012 requirements.
Implementing NIST 800-207 zero-trust principles, ITAR.APP provides granular role-based access control with mandatory access control (MAC) enforcement. Every access request is verified through multi-factor authentication, and all permissions are continuously validated based on least-privilege principles.
Our secure repository implements CMMC Level 3 controls for technical data, including automated classification, data segregation, and cryptographic separation. All document metadata is indexed in a secure database with ACL enforcement at the field level.
ITAR.APP maintains a complete document history with cryptographic validation of each version. Our system tracks all document modifications, approvals, and distribution with digital signatures, ensuring compliance with ITAR § 130.15 record-keeping requirements.
Automated lifecycle management ensures proper handling of technical data throughout its entire lifecycle. The system enforces retention policies, expires temporary authorizations, and manages document disposition with verifiable destruction certificates when required.
ITAR.APP's advanced risk engine evaluates your supply chain against NIST 800-171 and CMMC requirements. Our proprietary algorithms analyze over 200 risk factors to generate comprehensive risk scores for each supplier and subcontractor in your defense supply chain.
Proactive compliance monitoring tracks supplier attestations, certifications, and documentation status. The system automatically flags expiring documents, compliance gaps, and potential violations before they impact your operations.
ITAR.APP enables secure technical data exchange with authorized suppliers through our air-gapped transfer protocol. All exchanges are cryptographically signed, logged, and verified to maintain complete chain of custody throughout your supply chain.
Our platform implements all requirements under ITAR 22 CFR 120-130 and EAR 15 CFR 730-774, with specialized controls for USML and CCL items. The system maintains proper jurisdiction and classification for all technical data.
ITAR.APP implements all 110 security controls required by NIST 800-171 and goes beyond with additional safeguards aligned with CMMC Level 3. Our solution helps defense contractors maintain compliance with DFARS 252.204-7012 and prepare for CMMC certification.
Automated assessment tools continuously evaluate your compliance posture against regulatory requirements. The system provides gap analysis, remediation recommendations, and verification of control effectiveness.
