International Sanctions and Export Control Society

The International Sanctions and Export Control Society ("ISECS") is the only Public Benefit Company in the world dedicated to helping industry enhance compliance with international sanctions and export controls. ISECS' worldwide network is a collaboration between a diverse group of industry leaders, current and former government regulatory and enforcement officials, attorneys, and experienced compliance professionals.

The ISECS-Certified Sanctions and Export Control Professional (CSECP™) certification program is a collaborative effort between former international government officials (regulatory, enforcement, and national security), trade compliance lawyers, and industry professionals from multinational companies to create a unique, one-of-a-kind, industry standard for professional certifications.
This interview highlights Alexander Witt's journey into sanctions and export controls, his motivations for serving the ISECS community, and his perspectives on the increasingly fragmented regulatory landscape. He discusses the need for multi‑jurisdictional compliance programs, stronger supply‑chain resilience, and better filtering of regulatory updates amid rapid geopolitical change. He emphasizes the importance of community, leadership support, and more advanced training for seasoned professionals.

Every year, on the evening prior to the Bureau of Industry and Security’s (BIS) yearly “Update Conference”, ISECS holds the Pre-BIS Update Conference Event. To date, BIS has not approved an event for 2026. Nevertheless, ISECS will hold a Spring Event focused on international collaboration and plans to host representatives of up to 10 embassies to provide a 30-minute presentation on topics related to geopolitics, export controls and sanctions affecting their country.
