DDTC Updating DECCS User Security

The State Department’s Directorate of Defense Trade Controls will be “migrating” to the “FedRAMP High instance of a multifactor authentication solution” in its Defense Export Control and Compliance System to improve security, the agency announced this week. DDTC said all users should log into DECCS “which will ensure that your account information and passwords are automatically synced with the new upgraded instance.”

Export Compliance Daily combines U.S. export control news, foreign border import regulation and policy developments into a single daily information service that reliably informs its trade professional readers about important current issues affecting their operations.

For users with multiple DECCS accounts, “please ensure that you log in to all accounts you wish to retain access to. Once complete, no further action will be required at this time beyond the regular DECCS login process,” DDTC said. Users who don’t log into their DECCS account may be locked out and unable to access DECCS “without assistance in the future.”
