INDUSTRY SOLUTIONS
Data Security for the Defense Industry
StratoKey secures Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), ITAR-regulated technical data, and other sensitive defense-related information across cloud platforms. It enables regulated organizations, including defense contractors, subcontractors, vendors, and suppliers, to meet U.S. and international compliance requirements while retaining full control over their data. The StratoKey Cloud Data Protection platform helps organizations secure and localize regulated data to meet country-specific mandates. This supports compliance with regulations such as ITAR, EAR, DFARS, CMMC and standards such as NIST SP 800-171, 800-53, and FedRAMP, as well as international frameworks governing the protection of defense-related data.
The Growing Challenge of Cloud Risks in the Defense Supply Chain
Globally, organizations working within security and defense supply chains, including contractors and dual-use technology, have adopted cloud technologies to improve efficiency, collaboration, and mission readiness. There are several risks inherent to cloud adoption that StratoKey's Cloud Data Protection platform can help with.
Unauthorized Access to Sensitive and Export-Controlled Data
Defense-related data like CUI and ITAR-controlled information, is at risk in cloud environments, especially across shared platforms and jurisdictions. This could be from bad actors or unintended, such as access by unauthorized persons or cloud provider staff. This is not only a compliance risk but a significant security risk.
Compliance Requirements Across Multi-Tenant Clouds
Meeting defense regulations like ITAR, DFARS, EAR, and DISP is challenging in multi-tenant clouds, where sensitive data shares infrastructure. This setup increases the risk of unauthorized access, data spillover, and foreign jurisdictional exposure making strong controls and continuous oversight essential for compliance.
Embedded Encryption Systems Undermine Data Sovereignty
When cloud providers manage data, data encryption, and are able to access encryption keys, it weakens sovereignty and compliance by exposing sensitive data to external control and oversight.
Exposure via Integrations and AI Tools
Integrated systems provide efficiency benefits, but bring inherent supply chain risk. Integrations with SaaS and AI tools can unintentionally expose sensitive data to unauthorized use, creating compliance and security risks.
The Stratokey Cloud Data Protection Platform Can Help
The Cloud Data Protection Platform helps defense organizations secure sensitive data and meet compliance requirements. Data can be secured with NIST approved, FIPS validated (140/3), end-to-end encryption or tokenization before it is transmitted to cloud and SaaS providers. This data protection is provides end-to-end protection, that secures regulated data before it leaves an organizations control.
- Encrypts sensitive data before it reaches the cloud, ensuring it remains protected even in shared or multi-tenant environments.
- Provides external, customer-controlled encryption key management to prevent unauthorized access, even from SaaS staff.
- Enforces granular, policy-based access controls to tightly govern who can view or interact with regulated data and where from.
- Supports data localization requirements by controlling where data is stored across global jurisdictions and who has access.
- Sensitive data is stored as ciphertext or token, which means unauthorized SaaS integrations and AI services cannot access or peer on sensitive content.
- Helps organizations meet complex compliance mandates such as ITAR, DFARS, EAR, CMMC, DISP, and other global frameworks with NIST standard end-to-end encryption, tokenization, detailed audit trails and continuous policy enforcement.
Meet a Wider Range of Defense-Related Regulations and Requirements
StratoKey helps with CMMC, ITAR, DFARS, NIST SP 800-171, 800-53, and FedRAMP in the U.S., as well as international frameworks like the EU GDPR, Australia’s DISP and Privacy Act, and Singapore’s PDPA. These mandates often require encryption, access controls, data residency enforcement, and continuous monitoring.
CMMC
Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification
Meet CMMC requirements by tokenizing FCI and CUI end-to-end and enforcing detailed access controls and audit logging to help with compliance across multiple maturity levels. StratoKey tokenization can also help keep CUI stored within your FedRAMP-authorized environment.
ITAR
International Traffic in Arms Regulations
StratoKey tokenization, encryption, and strict access controls can prevent unauthorized foreign access to ITAR-controlled technical data; meets ITAR encryption carve-out (22 CFR 120.54) requirements and facilitate local FedRAMP authorized storage with tokenization.
NIST 800-171
Protecting CUI in Nonfederal Systems and Organizations
Aligns with NIST 800-171 and NIST 800-53 controls by securing CUI in non-federal systems with FIPS-140-3 encryption at rest and in transit, strong identity and access management, and monitoring and audit trail to safeguard CUI in SaaS and cloud applications.
FedRAMP
Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program
StratoKey CDP helps organizations maintain compliance by enabling sensitive data to remain within your own FedRAMP-authorized environment, by using tokenization. This approach ensures that regulated data is never exposed outside your controlled cloud boundary,
