CCSP Exam - Question 447


What are the U.S. Commerce Department controls on technology exports known as?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: C

The U.S. Commerce Department controls on technology exports are known as the Export Administration Regulations (EAR). The EAR regulates the export and reexport of most commercial items, including commodities, software, and technology. This is different from the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), which is managed by the State Department and covers defense-related items and services. Digital Rights Management (DRM) is unrelated as it pertains to the protection of digital content. Evaluation Assurance Levels (EAL) relate to the security certification of products and systems, not export controls.

The Export Administration Regulations (EAR) are the U.S. Department of Commerce’s rules for controlling the export of dual-use technologies, meaning technologies that have both commercial and military applications. EAR is managed by the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) and covers encryption technologies, software, and critical technology exports that could impact national security. Why Not the Others? A. ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations) → Controlled by the U.S. State Department and applies to military and defense-related technologies, not general commerce. B. DRM (Digital Rights Management) → A security technology for controlling access to digital content, not an export regulation. D. EAL (Evaluation Assurance Level) → A security certification under the Common Criteria framework, used for testing IT security levels, not for export controls.
