AutoCAD ITAR Compliance Services
AutoCAD is a critical tool in the design and engineering processes for many defense contractors, aerospace firms, and advanced manufacturing companies. But when your AutoCAD files contain military or space-related schematics, components, or assembly drawings, they may be classified as technical data under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). Sharing or storing this data improperly — even unintentionally — can result in serious violations, fines, and loss of government contracts.
At Cleared Systems, we help you navigate these compliance requirements with our specialized AutoCAD ITAR Compliance Services. From securing file storage to restricting access only to authorized U.S. persons, our services ensure your CAD workflows meet the strict standards required by ITAR, DFARS, and CMMC.
What Are AutoCAD ITAR Compliance Services?
Cleared Systems offers expert AutoCAD ITAR Compliance Services to help companies working in the defense, aerospace, and military sectors ensure their CAD designs, schematics, and 3D models are properly controlled under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR).
If your organization uses AutoCAD to design components or systems listed under the United States Munitions List (USML), you are legally required to secure that data from unauthorized access or export. Our services help you meet those regulatory demands confidently and efficiently.
Why AutoCAD ITAR Compliance Services Are Essential
AutoCAD files can qualify as technical data, meaning they are subject to strict ITAR controls. Our AutoCAD ITAR Compliance Services help your company avoid violations by:
Preventing unauthorized foreign access to sensitive CAD files
Securing the transmission and storage of defense-related technical data
Enabling compliance with DoD contracts, DFARS, NIST 800-171, and CMMC 2.0

Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in AutoCAD ITAR Compliance Services?
Services include file classification, secure cloud hosting, access controls, employee training, and preparation for DDTC audits or export controls.
Can AutoCAD files be stored on OneDrive or Dropbox?
No. These platforms are not ITAR-compliant. We migrate clients to compliant environments like AWS GovCloud or Azure Government Cloud.
Do I need AutoCAD ITAR Compliance if I'm just a subcontractor?
Yes. Even subcontractors must comply if they access or handle technical data listed under the USML or related to defense contracts.
