## Resource

A FedRAMP deadline can either freeze a company or force it to get sharper. Jason LaPointe and Michael Parisi break down how Exostar cleared a moderate authorization on an accelerated timeline, built a new compliant platform without breaking its customers, and turned an audit into a growth engine for the defense supply chain.
