Technology Security Assessments of Export Violations for Enforcement and
Compliance
DTSA serves as the U.S. Government’s premier resource of
technical expertise by assessing the military significance,
technology security concerns, and potential harm to national
security associated with the unlawful or unauthorized export of
controlled defense articles, services, and technology.
DTSA conducts technology security reviews of export violations
of the
Arms Export Control Act (Voluntary Disclosures or Directed
Disclosures) referred by
the Department of State. DTSA coordinates the
disclosures with the Military Departments to determine the
potential impact on U.S. national security and provides the
Department’s assessment to the Department of State.
DTSA provides recommendations for industry, the U.S. Government interagency,
our international partners, and DoD stakeholders to mitigate risk of
non-compliance with export control laws and regulations. DTSA supports law
enforcement activities by providing subject matter expertise to
the Department of Justice across the all categories of export-controlled
hardware, software, and technology and expert witness testimony on their
military significance.
