Foreign-National and Deemed-Export Controls
Practical support for organizations managing foreign-national access to controlled technology, whether the person is an employee, a student, a visitor, or a partner.
The situation
A hiring manager finds the right candidate. A principal investigator adds a postdoc. A partner asks to join a design review. Each of these can transfer controlled technology without anything crossing a border.
Why it matters
Access questions arrive with a deadline attached. Organizations that have a defined path answer them in days. Organizations that do not either delay good people or grant access and hope the analysis works out later.
What we do
- Build a review path for foreign-national hiring, research appointments, and contractor placement.
- Define what access is available before, during, and after review, so managers are not left guessing.
- Address file, software, laboratory, and cloud access alongside physical access.
- Support international teams and remote work arrangements with controls that survive distance.
- Prepare technical meeting protocols so discussions stay inside the authorized scope.
