What is NDAA Compliant?
NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act) compliance is a US government requirement that restricts the use of certain foreign-made surveillance equipment in government and critical infrastructure applications. NDAA-compliant products are manufactured by companies that meet strict US security and supply chain requirements. This requirement only applies to US government and critical infrastructure projects - other countries have their own security standards and regulations.
