Exostar is a compliance and collaboration platform for aerospace, defense, life sciences, and healthcare organizations operating in highly regulated environments. It connects more than 200,000 vetted organizations through a purpose-built network spanning CMMC compliance, supply chain collaboration, supplier management, clinical trial access, and DEA-compliant electronic prescribing for controlled substances. Pricing is quote-based, with no free plan or trial. Key capabilities include the Managed Access Gateway for identity federation and single sign-on across partner ecosystems, delegated administration, organization hierarchy management, role-based access control, partner onboarding, CMMC and NIST 800-171 compliance tools, order-to-cash supply chain automation, and procurement tooling for regulated-industry RFx events and auctions. Its Access: One product handles identity and access governance, and a dedicated life sciences identity solution serves clinical environments. The platform fits defense contractors, suppliers, and life sciences organizations that must prove compliance while collaborating across large partner networks.
In practice, organizations use Exostar to manage the full lifecycle of regulated business relationships — onboarding and verifying suppliers, sharing sensitive documents under compliance controls, managing sourcing and contracts, and coordinating order-to-cash workflows. Users interact through a web-based platform that enforces identity proofing and multifactor authentication, ensuring that access to sensitive systems meets regulatory requirements.
Exostar's platform includes specific modules for CMMC Level 2 readiness (protecting Controlled Unclassified Information for defense contractors), clinical trials management (enabling faster site activation with compliant system access), and Electronic Prescriptions for Controlled Substances (EPCS) using DEA-compliant identity verification). The network model means participants can collaborate with other vetted members without rebuilding trust or compliance checks for each relationship.
Exostar primarily serves large enterprises and mid-sized suppliers in the Defense Industrial Base, pharmaceutical companies, and healthcare organizations. More than half the Defense Industrial Base and over 25 pharmaceutical companies are cited as transacting through the platform. Pricing is not publicly listed and appears to be contract-based; prospective customers should contact Exostar directly. Competitors in adjacent spaces include Coupa (supply chain), Veeva (life sciences collaboration), and CyberArk or Okta (identity and access management for regulated environments).
The platform is web-based and built around a federated identity and access management architecture. It supports enterprise-grade security controls aligned with NIST SP 800-171 and CMMC frameworks, making it suitable for environments handling CUI and other regulated data categories.
Streamlines CMMC and NIST SP 800-171 self-assessments, calculates SPRS scores, and generates SSPs and POA&Ms to support compliance reporting.
Enables organizations to delegate user and access administration tasks across the partner network rather than managing every account centrally.
Speeds up onboarding of new partners using pre-verified credentials, training options, and global identity validation services for secure external collaboration.
