# ITAR/EAR Compliance **VioletGov** is fully EAR/ITAR-compliant; it is hosted in an AWS GovCloud (US) partition, and all customer data is stored exclusively within GovCloud services. This ensures that all data meets residency storage and processing requirements for government workloads. Violet accesses data from your team’s Gov \[and non-Gov] software applications over SSL/TLS, guaranteeing data encryption in transit. All stored data (including databases, files, caches, and application logs) is 256-bit AES encrypted at rest. ITAR-sensitive customer data is only accessible to Violet Labs employees who are US Persons and who have received ITAR/EAR training. ITAR-sensitive customer data that needs to be accessed outside of the GovCloud-hosted Violet platform is never downloaded or stored. *Keep in mind - standard **Violet** is hosted on AWS Standard, which is not ITAR- or EAR-compliant. If you’re not sure whether your team needs to comply with export control regulations, please reach out to us at for help.* --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
