Case Study: BAE Systems achieves secure ITAR-compliant collaboration with Exostar

BAE Systems Land & Armaments Personnel in USA & Australia Use Exostar’s Collaboration Solution for Secure, ITAR-Compliant Information Exchange

BAE Systems, a global defense and aerospace company, faced a challenge within its Global Tactical Systems unit. Teams in the U.S. and Australia needed to collaborate securely on a sensitive project while strictly adhering to International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), but they lacked an internal solution that could be deployed rapidly. They turned to the Exostar collaboration solution to meet this urgent need.

Exostar implemented its secure, SaaS-based collaboration platform for BAE Systems, with the teams opting for the highest "Sensitive" security tier. This provided end-to-end document encryption and strong multi-factor authentication. The solution was operational in under a month, mitigating schedule risk and minimizing the impact on internal IT resources. Exostar delivered a flexible, ITAR-compliant environment that allowed for immediate and confident collaboration, ensuring the project's sensitive information was fully protected.
