Defense contractors face a constant challenge: maintaining detailed technical documentation while ensuring every word stays within U.S. borders and never touches foreign servers. Most documentation tools fail this basic requirement.
Why Docsie
All the power of modern documentation software, with complete data sovereignty and audit trails built in.
Your documentation lives entirely on your infrastructure. No data ever touches external servers or leaves your controlled environment. We provide the software, you control where it runs and who accesses it—exactly what ITAR demands.
Every document access, every change, every export is logged automatically. When auditors ask who viewed Technical Data Package X on a specific date, you'll have the answer in seconds. No more scrambling through server logs or email records.
Most on-premise solutions take weeks to deploy. Our automated provisioning gets your entire documentation platform up and running in under half an hour. Start migrating your technical documentation the same day you decide to implement.
See how defense contractors use Docsie to maintain ITAR compliance while modernizing their documentation.
A Tier 1 defense contractor needed to maintain hundreds of Technical Data Packages for weapons systems while preparing redacted versions for approved foreign partners. Their existing process involved manually copying files and tracking versions in spreadsheets.
A prime contractor working on classified aircraft systems needed to share manufacturing specifications with 50+ subcontractors, each with different clearance levels and need-to-know requirements. Email distribution was creating security nightmares.
A missile systems manufacturer needed to maintain design documentation, test reports, and manufacturing procedures across 15-year program lifecycles. Their documentation was spread across three legacy systems with no version control.

Common Questions
Answers to the questions defense contractors ask us about ITAR compliance and on-premise deployment.
Q: How long does deployment actually take, and what resources do we need?
A: Automated deployment takes 25 minutes once you've allocated server resources. You'll need a standard server environment (physical or virtual) and one IT person to run the installer. Most customers are creating their first documentation portal within an hour of starting.
Q: Can we migrate existing documentation from SharePoint and file shares?
A: Yes. Docsie includes migration tools that preserve your folder structure, permissions, and version history. Most customers migrate their critical technical documentation over a weekend without disrupting ongoing programs.
Q: Do we need to train everyone on a new system?
A: The interface is intuitive—if your team can use SharePoint or Google Docs, they can use Docsie. Most engineers are productive within 15 minutes. We also provide role-specific training materials for documentation managers and administrators.
Q: Does Docsie have documentation proving it meets ITAR requirements?
A: Because Docsie runs entirely on your infrastructure with no external connectivity required, there's no 'cloud service' to certify. You control the environment, just like any other software you install. We provide deployment documentation for your compliance team showing the on-premise architecture.
Q: What happens during software updates? Does data leave our network?
A: Updates are delivered as installation packages you run on your own servers. No data is transmitted to Docsie during updates. You control when and how updates are applied, just like any enterprise software.
