More About Exostar
Exostar provides cloud-based platforms that support secure collaboration and information exchange across extended enterprise networks, with a primary focus on aerospace and defense, life sciences, and healthcare organizations. Its offerings are used by enterprises that manage sensitive design, manufacturing, clinical, or patient-related data and that must comply with sector-specific regulations and cybersecurity frameworks. The company’s services are designed to operate in multi-organization environments where multiple primes, subcontractors, suppliers, and partners require controlled access to shared digital resources.
A core component of Exostar’s portfolio is its identity and access management (IAM) offerings (identity and access management), which include user authentication, authorization, and federation capabilities for external business partners. These capabilities typically align with enterprise Identity Access Management (IAM) practices such as Single Sign-On (SSO), multi-factor authentication (MFA), Certificate-Based Authentication (CBA), and Role-Based Access Control (RBAC). Exostar’s IAM services enable organizations to extend access from internal directories to external users while maintaining centralized policy control and auditability.
Exostar also delivers secure collaboration solutions (secure collaboration) that support file exchange, workspace collaboration, and controlled document access across organizations. These services are commonly used for sharing technical data packages, engineering drawings, and other sensitive content between original equipment manufacturers, suppliers, and service providers. The collaboration tools emphasize granular access control, encryption, and detailed audit trails, aligning with the needs of organizations subject to export controls and defense-related regulations.
Another focus area is TPRM and supplier management solutions (third-party risk management). These services help enterprises assess, monitor, and manage cybersecurity and compliance posture across their supplier base and extended value chain. Capabilities typically include standardized questionnaires, evidence collection, scoring, and reporting that map to common frameworks and regulations such as NIST-based controls or defense industry cybersecurity requirements. This allows procurement, security, and compliance teams to maintain a structured view of supplier-related risk.
From a technology and architecture perspective, Exostar’s platforms operate as cloud-hosted services that integrate with customer identity providers, enterprise applications, and external partner systems via standard protocols where applicable, such as Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) for federation and Transport Layer Security (TLS) for secure transport. The solutions are designed to coexist with existing on-premises (on-prem) and cloud environments, allowing enterprises to add secure external collaboration and supplier access without re-architecting core systems. In marketplace taxonomies, Exostar can be classified under identity and access management, secure collaboration, and TPRM, with specialization in regulated and compliance-heavy ecosystems.
