Speed International Shipments.
Understand Your Software Encryption.

As an export compliance officer, you know that governments around the world enforce strict laws controlling the export of software and software-driven products. Any cryptographic code that is not legal for export can jeopardize international distribution schedules. Your mission to keep your organization in compliance is challenged by complex supply chains, including mixed-origin code that may be inadequately documented. Validation is requested on short notice, but manually checking code for encryption is error-prone and time-consuming. You’re role is to quickly and accurately identify the encryption methods in your software and secure the required regulatory approvals.

When you need to be sure software encryption complies with export laws, would it help to automate cryptography reporting? Let Black Duck help you —

• Identify encryption. Automate the process of finding and identifying cryptography components. Save time and reduce business risks such as lost revenue from delayed shipments.

• Automate encryption policies. Compare your code base against an up-to-date knowledge base of encryption code and current export regulations. Enforce policies and avoid export violation by scanning code for export with each build cycle or before procurement acceptance.

• Streamline reporting. Use a system that automatically maintains an online export compliance audit trail and assists with preparation of applications to the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) and National Security Agency (NSA).
