Secure collaboration and compliance platform for the defense industrial base
Exostar operates a compliance-first collaboration network for highly regulated industries, with over 200,000 companies and 1,000,000 users across 175 countries. The tech stack (Azure infrastructure, FedRAMP/CMMC certifications, IBM Security Verify Access, SAML/OIDC) reflects deep regulatory enforcement. Current projects signal a shift toward AI-assisted compliance automation—release mapping, document analysis, control validation—rather than pure manual administration, paired with a hiring lift in sales and customer success suggesting market expansion.
Exostar provides a secure collaboration platform for organizations in the Defense Industrial Base and other highly regulated sectors. More than half of the Defense Industrial Base, including 98 of the top 100 firms, use the platform to transact business, share information, and maintain compliance across supply chains. The product operates as an exclusive community network where identity management, access controls (SAML, OIDC, federated identity), and compliance frameworks (FedRAMP, CMMC) are embedded into workflows. Exostar is privately held, founded in 2000, and based in Herndon, Virginia.
Exostar uses Azure (SQL, Virtual Desktop, DevOps, Monitor), Microsoft stack (C#, .NET Core, ASP.NET Web API, Entity Framework), security tools (Zscaler, Azure Firewall, IBM Security Verify Access), compliance frameworks (FedRAMP, CMMC), and enterprise tools (HubSpot, Jira, Terraform).
Over 1,000,000 users across more than 200,000 companies and agencies in 175 countries trust Exostar, with 98 of the top 100 Defense Industrial Base firms transacting on the platform.
