How Delaware Metals Became ITAR Compliant
Delaware Metals is a women-owned, family-operated business that has been providing precision machining services for over 70 years. They wanted to transform from a paper-based, mom-and pop shop to a modern, ITAR-compliant CNC company that can receive valuable defense contracts.
Delaware Metals deployed PreVeil’s encrypted Email and Drive platform to share & receive sensitive drawings and achieve ITAR compliance. Since only 5 out of 25 employees handle CUI and ITAR, they created a secure enclave, which, along with air gapping their manufacturing machines, simplified their compliance boundary & significantly reduced costs.
“PreVeil made it so easy – it really was a no brainer. It’s
affordable, it integrates with everything, and it just works. I’ve never seen a vulnerability from them; it’s just something we don’t need to worry about.”

Key Takeaways
- ITAR Compliant: PreVeil meets the State Department’s 120.54 encryption carveout, allowing companies to share ITAR data without it becoming an export.
- Winning Defense Contracts: Becoming ITAR compliant has enabled Delaware Metals to win valuable defense contracts from multinational companies.
- Easy to Use: Workers didn’t need to learn any new technology since PreVeil directly integrates with Outlook + File Explorer.
- Reduced Costs: Creating a secure enclave simplified their compliance journey and enabled them to continue using Commercial M365, instead of moving the entire company to expensive GCC High licenses.
- Security for the Entire Business: They also use PreVeil to share + store bookkeeping, tax returns and employee records.
