Secure Access to Export-Controlled Information for ITAR & EAR Compliance

Pathlock runs natively in SAP to discover, classify, and protect export-controlled information with real-time, attribute-based access controls – ensuring that only authorized users can access sensitive data based on real-time context.

Attribute-Based Data Protection (ABAC) Solution

Ensure Maximum Data Security. Prove ITAR & EAR Compliance.

For organizations handling export-controlled information (ECI) under regulations like International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) or EAR (Export Administration Regulations), traditional role-based access control is insufficient. These regulations require granular restrictions based on user attributes such as nationality, location, or clearance level, as well as data attributes like export classification or country of origin.

Pathlock’s Dynamic Access Control (DAC) solution enables attribute-based access enforcement at runtime, ensuring that only authorized users can access sensitive data based on real-time context. For example, Pathlock can restrict access to material specifications marked as ITAR-controlled when accessed from outside the U.S. or prevent users without the appropriate clearance from viewing engineering drawings or supplier data flagged with export restrictions. This level of policy precision is critical for compliance and helps avoid costly violations while still enabling operational efficiency.

Key Capabilities:

• ​Identify Export-Controlled Information (ECI) in SAP with intelligent data discovery and classification
• ​Prevent unauthorized data access with dynamic masking and filtering
• ​Get notified on ECI access with centralized monitoring and real-time alerts
• ​Safeguard test environments with consistent data scrambling
