Defense Modernization Exostar already serves a large portion of the Defense Industrial Base, including 98 of the top 100 firms, with a secure collaboration and identity management platform. This indicates strong cross-sell potential to DoD contractors and more advanced cybersecurity and compliance solutions such as CMMC readiness, Azure-based compliance, and risk management services.

CMMC Momentum With ongoing DoD/DoW cybersecurity maturity requirements and Exostar's CMMC Ready Suite on Microsoft Marketplace, there is a clear sales path to expand into contractors needing certification readiness, managed services, and integration with Microsoft Azure to accelerate compliance for the broader defense supply chain.

Azure Compliance Exostar is expanding Azure-based compliance solutions in partnership with Microsoft. This aligns well with customers seeking cloud-first security and scalable collaboration in highly regulated industries, presenting opportunities to upsell cloud-native security, IAM, and audit capabilities.

Strategic Partnerships Recent integrations and partnerships, including with A-LIGN for assessment expertise, create a joint value proposition around supply chain visibility, security posture, and compliance readiness for contractors—ideal for cross-selling to existing DoD suppliers and potential new prime contractors.

Federal Expansion Exostar’s recent DoD contract wins and its established ecosystem of 200,000+ companies and 1,000,000 users in regulated industries signal continued government demand for secure collaboration, risk management and identity solutions, suggesting expansion opportunities with more DoD programs and allied agencies.
