The U.S. government controls exports of defense-related goods and services by companies and the export of information associated with their design, production, and use, to ensure they meet U.S. interests. Globalization and communication technologies facilitate exports of controlled information providing benefits to U.S. companies and increase interactions between U.S. and foreign companies, making it challenging to protect such exports. GAO assessed (1) how the government's export control processes apply to the protection of export-controlled information, and (2) steps the government has taken to identify and help mitigate the risks in protecting export-controlled information. To do this, GAO analyzed agency regulations and practices and interviewed officials from 46 companies with a wide range of exporting experiences. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-69/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-69.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-69/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-69.pdf GAO-07-69 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-69 Other Written Product GAO-07-69; Export Controls: Agencies Should Assess Vulnerabilities and Improve Guidance for Protecting Export-Controlled Information at Companies; Data integrity Data transmission Dual-use technologies Export regulation Exporting Federal regulations Government information Information security Information technology Internal controls Licenses Regulation Risk assessment Strategic planning System vulnerabilities Dept. of Commerce Export Control Automated Support System Title 722 Section 2778 722 U.S.C. 2778 Public Law 107-347
