Supplier Management for Aerospace & Defense

Identity & Access Offerings

We make Supplier Management as simple as it should be.

Identity Authentication

Our identity authentication solutions include single sign-on (SSO), “step up,” and multifactor authentication (MFA). Our SSO solution gives your trusted partners, and employees, access to both internal and external applications, utilizing a community-accepted industry credential. Existing SSO infrastructures can be seamlessly extended to support integration with our platform. Our “step up” and MFA solutions help reduce risk and provide continuous, integrated, strong online identity authentication for online identity protection, and, perhaps most importantly, help contractors meet updated DFARS regulations for Covered Defense Information (CDI), based on NIST 800-171.

Supplier Identity Access

Exostar manages the identities your business interacts with – including people, partners, and systems. Our supplier identity access process accelerates onboarding and reduces the cost of managing external partners and suppliers.

Certified Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)

Our fully-managed PKI solution is designed to make the issuance and maintenance of digital certificates easy. It’s ideal for enabling sensitive online transactions (including secure email), and secure access to information.
