DIY Encryption Classification 2017 Edition Update

DIY Encryption Classification 2017 Edition

All registrants receive an encryption classification questionnaire!

We are offering a webinar on creating your own encryption questionnaires to use to classify your products. In August, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) significantly changed the Information Security section of the Commerce Control List (Category 5 Part II) as a result of the 2016 Wassenaar Arrangement decision to rewrite certain Export Commodity Control Numbers (“ECCNs”) (Federal Register). Participants will receive an encryption classification questionnaire reflecting all 2017 changes from the instructor, Felice Laird, and will be guided through the template and coached on how to customize it for companies in different industries. We will work through case studies involving products classified as EAR99, 5x992 and 5x002.

This webinar is designed for people who have a good working knowledge of the encryption regulations or have attended previous ECTI encryption webinars.

Agenda:

Quick overview of encryption ECCNs
Classification and documentation requirements
Tips for working with engineers
Walk through a sample classification template
Tips for creating a customized template for your organization
Case studies: mass-market items, 740.17 (B)(1), (B)(2) and (B)(3) products, OAM and products using encryption that are not for “information security”
