I’m evaluating the use of Liferay for a Corporate Intranet but I need to know if Liferay is compatible with NIST and ITAR standards, both in on-premis or on cloud installations.Can you provide this information, please?

From the NIST Wikipedia entry (emphasis mine):

As part of its mission, NIST supplies industry, academia, government, and other users with over 1,300 Standard Reference Materials (SRMs). These artifacts are certified as having specific characteristics or component content, used as calibration standards for measuring equipment and procedures, quality control benchmarks for industrial processes, and experimental control samples.

Picking just one: As far as I'm concerned Liferay adheres to the metric and imperial measures of weights and distances ;)

ITAR is probably the International Traffic in Arms Regulations. While Liferay uses encryption technology, there is quite a lot else in the Wikipedia article alone.
You'll need to be more detailed than just mentioning ETLAs. And as you ask about these topics, the answers to your underlying questions might be so important that you'd like someone to be accountable for them. In that case I'd recommend to look after Liferay DXP and contact Liferay's sales department in your region (assuming the US from the institutes you mention, but I might be wrong based on the time of your posting)

In general, Liferay DXP is used in several government-level organizations, so the odds that your expectations are met are good.
