Compliance challenges for the aerospace and defense industry

Compliance officer challenge

As a compliance professional in aerospace and defense, you often face an unfair fight. You must navigate a complex landscape of local and international Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption (ABAC), Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) regulations, International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), Department of Defense (DoD) regulations, and AS9100 industry standards.

Additionally, you must manage significant supply chain and third-party risks. The A&D supply chain is a vast, global ecosystem of customers, OEMs, multiple tiers of suppliers, and maintenance, repair, and overhaul providers. Compliance teams must address export controls, regulatory, geopolitical, operational, and security risks within this ecosystem. Ensuring third parties and suppliers implement appropriate controls is essential for maintaining compliance and safeguarding your organization's integrity.

Key areas of compliance in aerospace and defense

Aerospace and defense companies are complex enterprises. There’s many areas of compliance, ethics, and risk that need to be managed, spanning everything from Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG), to ITAR, to Anti-Bribery And Corruption (ABAC). These include:

  • ABAC Compliance: Ensuring that anti-bribery and anti-corruption (ABAC) laws and standards are upheld.
  • Supply Chain Due Diligence: Ensuring suppliers and partners also comply with relevant laws and standards. Due diligence may now be expected deeper into the supply chain beyond tier 1.
  • Data Protection: Safeguarding sensitive information, including technical data, in an increasingly digital landscape.
  • Environmental Compliance: Adhering to regulations aimed at minimizing the ecological footprint of operating activities.
  • Labor Laws: Observing fair employment practices and labor standards.
  • Intellectual Property Security: Protecting and respecting patents, trademarks, and copyrights.
  • ITAR Compliance: Complying with International Traffic in Arms Regulations.
  • Quality Control & Assurance: Ensuring products consistently meet required standards and safeguarding against counterfeit parts.
  • Workplace Safety: Implementing standards for a safe working environment.
  • Financial Reporting: Maintaining accuracy and transparency in financial dealings.
