Today's education and research institutions face tight budgets, fierce competition and an increasingly complex regulatory environment. With these institutions committed to research openness and the freedom of information for scientific discovery, they are finding it necessary to fully comply with export regulations, especially deemed export controls. In certain situations, these institutions may need to secure a license before any items or information is exported to another country or shared with a foreign national. The consequences of non-compliance can involve substantial fines, loss of contract and export privileges, jail time, and negative publicity faced by violators.

Challenges include:

• Sharing of sensitive information with students, researchers and foreign nationals

• Managing international travel for university and research personnel

• Effectively deploying university-wide compliance programs

• Flexibly screening for restricted parties on a daily and/or ad-hoc basis

• Protecting federal funding by screening for banned entities and restricted parties
