Why train your teams on U.S. Export Controls & Sanctions?
While the internet doesn’t have borders, the real world does, and it’s up to each organization to understand how shipping product across the globe might cross the invisible line between legal and illegal. It’s critical for tech and software teams dealing with global distribution to offer export control training in order to understand the basics around properly exporting within the law.

Oh, FAC
Many software tech companies are caught by surprise when large fines are handed down by the Office of Foreign Assets Control. The best offense is a good defense, so prep your learners with the knowledge and skills to avoid litigation and fines.

Let’s get technical
There is very little about U.S. export controls and sanctions that is “common sense” (lots of regulatory language and checking government watchlists) so training is essential to ensure employees understand their legal obligations.

Sanctions come, sanctions go
Exporting is complicated at the best of times, but when sanctions are actively being employed as a means for global political influence, employees need to have a solid foundational understanding of the role sanctions play in their work to keep up and out of danger.
