Dealing with Multinational Export/Intellectual Property Control
In a global operating environment, programs and projects have to integrate the issue of multi-national export control and security of multiple companies' intellectual property in their processes, risk analysis, and overall compliance profile - from the initial startup of the program through every phase of its lifecycle. And while regulations in the U.S. - across the State, Commerce and Defense departments - are daunting, the reality is that compliance is a nation-by-nation and company-by-company issue that affects better than 90% of today's programs and projects.
The issue of complying with these regulations is exacerbated in the A&D industry by a global supply chain, where the issues are manifested by requirements ranging from monitoring citizenship to outsourcing to multiple partners on contract teams. Fines for non-compliance run in the millions, with one of the largest A&D fines levied in the amount of more than $100 million.
To deal with this complex and difficult fact of life, effective program and project managers must work into their planning processes and tool set the varied aspects of compliance and IP security, including knowing where recipients and providers of data and information are located physically, citizenship for all team members with access, and TAA impact on intellectual property. The greatest risk - accidental violation by email! These regulatory issues are coupled with the very real issue of continuous monitoring of appropriate/improper access to different strata of information and having the data and information required to report the program/project's compliance performance.
