Data Center VEU Advisory Services
Navigating the new frontier of advanced computing regulation
The expansion of the Validated End User (VEU) program to include data centers has created a complex, new regulatory landscape for organizations operating in the advanced computing and artificial intelligence sectors.
A&M’s National Security, Trade and Technology Services provides comprehensive advisory services to help multinational enterprises navigate these regulations while optimizing their global operations.
The Challenge
Organizations operating data centers with advanced computing capabilities face unprecedented regulatory complexity:
- New VEU requirements for data centers that handle controlled technologies
- Rigorous security standards including physical, logical and cybersecurity controls
- Extensive documentation of technology control plans and supply chain management
- Regular reporting obligations to multiple regulatory bodies
- Cross-border compliance challenges across different jurisdictions
- Potential for on-site inspections by government representatives
Failure to effectively navigate these requirements can result in export denials, operational disruptions and significant financial penalties.
