SECURUS reviews partners’ business locations, goods, technologies, materials, customers, supply chains, and trade and business activities to determine the export control and materials security requirements that apply to them and how to achieve compliance.

Proper commodity classification is crucial to export control compliance. SECURUS works with partners to classify goods, technologies, and software on the military and dual-use control lists that apply to their international business. SECURUS classifies products on the U.S., UK, European Union, Indian, and other countries’ control lists.

SECURUS helps partners develop the internal compliance systems they need in the markets where they do business. SECURUS helps partners develop management statements, administrative structures, transactional screens, technology controls, auditing and violation response measures, and other procedures appropriate to the partner’s size and activities.

SECURUS performs systematic and random full and targeted audits of partners’ internal compliance systems to ensure mechanisms work as intended and to help partners catch problems before they can cause an export control violation. SECURUS provides partners with audit reports and recommendations for closing gaps and strengthening the system.

Export control, sanctions, biosecurity, and chemical security requirements change frequently, which can make it difficult for companies to understand their compliance obligations. SECURUS provides onsite and electronic training tailored to a partner’s specific needs. Topics include legal-regulatory requirements, commodity classification, site security, and registration and licensing procedures in countries around the world.

SECURUS deepens partners’ understanding of international trade, customs, export control, biosecurity, and chemical security regulations, requirements, and on-the-ground practices in the economies where they do business. SECURUS also provides customized analyses of how economic, political, and social factors in a market can affect trading opportunities and materials security.
