ITAR at the front desk: a practical guide
Export control does not stop at engineering. What visitor screening means for ITAR facilities.

Maya ChenHead of Security Research, CoReceptionist
Export control does not stop at engineering. If your facility handles ITAR-controlled articles or data, the front door is part of your compliance perimeter — and every unescorted visitor is a question an auditor may ask.
What screening at check-in looks like
Visitor details are checked before a badge prints. Matches hold discreetly — the visitor sees a polite “one more step” while security reviews the flag with a full audit trail.
Escort rules complete the picture: visitor types that require escorts cannot finish check-in without one assigned, and the assignment lands in the record.
