Export and Compliance Policy
Last updated: 1 March 2026
1. Introduction and scope
Sky Guard Security ApS ("Sky Guard", "we", "us") is committed to full compliance with all applicable export control laws, trade restrictions and related regulations governing the export, re-export, transfer and brokering of controlled goods, software and technology. This policy applies to all employees, subcontractors and business partners acting on behalf of or in connection with Sky Guard Security.
As a manufacturer of UAVs, surveillance equipment, sensors and security technology within the European Union, Sky Guard Security operates under the regulatory frameworks established by the European Union, individual EU member states and relevant international bodies.
2. EU export control framework
Sky Guard Security complies with Regulation (EU) 2021/821 (the EU Dual-Use Regulation), which governs the export, brokering, transit and transfer of dual-use items. All products in our catalogue are assessed against the EU Common Military List and the Wassenaar Arrangement list of dual-use goods and technologies.
Where applicable, we obtain all necessary export licences and authorisations prior to exporting controlled goods outside the EU customs territory. We maintain comprehensive records of all export transactions, end-use statements and end-user certificates as required by applicable regulations.
3. Sanctions compliance
Sky Guard Security screens all customers, end-users and transactions against applicable sanctions lists, including:
• The EU Consolidated Financial Sanctions List
• United Nations Security Council sanctions lists
• The OFAC Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list (where relevant to EU entities)
• National sanctions lists of EU member states
We do not engage in transactions with sanctioned individuals, entities or countries. All sales are subject to sanctions screening prior to order confirmation, shipment or delivery.
4. End-use and end-user control
Sky Guard Security implements stringent end-use and end-user verification procedures. Prior to processing orders for controlled goods, we require:
• An End-Use Statement (EUS) or End-User Certificate (EUC), where required by regulation
• Verification that the stated end-use is legitimate and consistent with the product's capabilities
• Confirmation that the end-user is not listed on any restricted party list
• Assessment that the destination country is not subject to comprehensive trade restrictions or arms embargoes
We reserve the right to decline any order where we have reasonable grounds to suspect diversion, misuse or involvement in weapons of mass destruction programmes.
5. Dual-use technology classification
All Sky Guard Security products are classified against the relevant control lists prior to being offered for sale. Products falling under dual-use or military control categories are clearly identified in our internal systems and are subject to enhanced due diligence procedures.
Product classifications are reviewed periodically and updated in response to changes in control list nomenclature or regulatory guidance. Our compliance team maintains a current product classification matrix aligned with the EU Dual-Use Regulation, Annex I categories.
6. Logistics and installation partner obligations
Where Sky Guard Security engages logistics providers or local support partners to assist with delivery or installation of its products, those partners are contractually required to comply with applicable export control and sanctions laws. Partner agreements contain explicit provisions requiring:
• Compliance with all applicable export control regulations
• Prohibition of re-export or diversion of controlled goods without proper authorisation
• Cooperation with Sky Guard Security's compliance audits and information requests
• Immediate notification of any suspected violations or compliance concerns
Failure to comply with these obligations constitutes grounds for immediate termination of the partner relationship.
7. Internal compliance programme
Sky Guard Security maintains an Internal Compliance Programme (ICP) that includes:
• A designated export control officer with the authority and resources to implement compliance measures
• Regular training for all personnel involved in sales, logistics and customer service
• Transaction screening procedures integrated into our order management system
• Recordkeeping in accordance with EU requirements (minimum 5-year retention)
• Internal audit procedures to assess compliance effectiveness
• Incident response and voluntary disclosure procedures
