Export-Control Program Development
The situation
Many organizations have a policy document and a designated compliance contact, and very little in between. When a question comes up, nobody is sure who decides, what evidence is needed, or what happens if the answer is not obvious.
Why it matters
A program is what turns a regulation into repeatable behavior. It answers who reviews, who approves, what gets written down, and what happens when something falls outside the normal path. Without it, compliance depends on whoever happens to be paying attention.
What we do
- Design governance: who owns export control, who advises, who approves, and where the authority sits.
- Write policies and procedures in language the intended readers will actually use.
- Define decision rights and escalation paths for close calls and time-sensitive requests.
- Build internal review processes for meetings, hiring, collaborations, and information sharing.
- Develop compliance matrices that map requirements to owners, controls, and evidence.
- Set recordkeeping practices that make the program auditable without creating busywork.
- Define roles and responsibilities across engineering, HR, IT, procurement, legal, and management.
