Outcomes
SolarisTech is a private technical consultancy. We do not hold security clearances, ITAR registration or government contracting vehicles, and we make no representation that we do. Our inspection and audit work is non statutory: it informs a decision, it does not carry one. Screening is a technical and open source exercise: we do not provide legal sanctions advice and we do not issue clearance, and the determination rests with your compliance function or your counsel. Tell us at first contact what your program requires and we will tell you plainly whether we can support it.
Our reports are prepared for the party that instructs us and for the purpose stated in the engagement. Reliance by any other party requires our written agreement.
