requirements, which have been implemented to guard data
integrity, confidentiality, and availability, as well as

U.S. Export
Controls
Just
as it is essential for business entities to have programs
and systems in place to ensure that they meet all their
employment, immigration and tax obligations, compliance
with United States export laws requires that companies have
a thorough understanding of export requirements so that
no transaction is conducted contrary to these controls.
In recent years, the U.S. government has increasingly focused
on compliance issues relating to exports, and corporations
are now charged with creating, implementing and maintaining
a diligent export compliance program. Reflecting this concern,
legislation continues to expand and reinforce compliance
demands upon corporations, and penalties for violations
have become more severe. These regulations designate clear
requirements for control of information and technology.
HCCO's expertise in this arena assures your organizations'
compliance.
