Security executive services enhanced by AI-powered tools and systematic frameworks for early warning advantage in high-consequence environments.
Expert services enhanced by systematic frameworks and AI-powered tools for organizations in regulated, high-consequence environments.
6-12 month preparation advantage before regulations publish
CMMC, FedRAMP, and DoD ATO readiness using Policy Translation Method. Compliance programs configured proactively based on draft guidance signals—while competitors wait for final rules.
Shadow AI governed without blocking innovation
Complete AI governance from discovery through enforcement. ZeroTrusted.ai platform deployment with policies designed using Incentive Analysis—teams follow controls instead of bypassing them.
Strategic leadership enhanced by AI-powered intelligence
Embedded security executive providing risk management, compliance oversight, and board reporting—enhanced by
Geopolitical lens on technology decisions
Executive counsel on high-stakes decisions where traditional risk frameworks miss strategic dependencies. Vendor risk through threat actor lens, M&A due diligence, supply chain diversification.
Specialized expertise in industries where security failures create business-critical consequences and regulatory compliance is mandatory, not optional.
CMMC certification, FedRAMP authorization, ATOs, and NIST 800-171 compliance programs that survive C3PAO audits while maintaining operational velocity.
HIPAA compliance, patient data protection, medical device security, and AI governance for clinical decision support systems and healthcare automation.
SOC2 Type II, PCI-DSS compliance, banking regulations, and AI risk management for fintech platforms, payment processors, and financial automation systems.
TSA security directives, CISA requirements, sector-specific regulations for energy, transportation, utilities, and industrial control systems.

(To be designed)
Upstream Risk Translation methodology converts early-stage signals into strategic intelligence. Three frameworks developed over 25 years of federal program leadership.
Read regulatory intent 6-12 months before publication by monitoring draft guidance and legislative signals
Assess vendor and supply chain dependencies through state actor lens and procurement policy forecasting
Design controls based on how auditors verify and how teams work—maximizing compliance and adoption simultaneously

Systematic approach from assessment through optimization
Prepare 6-12 months ahead of regulatory publication
Most organizations scramble when CMMC requirements publish or FedRAMP guidance changes. Policy Translation Method reads draft DoD guidance, legislative signals, and comment periods to identify enforcement priorities months early—transforming compressed compliance timelines into comfortable roadmaps.
Signals from DoD guidance memos six months prior reveal priority enforcement areas. Compliance programs are configured proactively using Clause Atlas to scan for anticipated requirements—creating preparation advantage over competitors still waiting for final publication.
Shadow AI governed without blocking innovation
Every organization is deploying AI—GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, AI features in products—yet few have secured or governed these deployments. Complete AI governance framework from shadow AI discovery through platform enforcement, with policies teams actually follow.
ZeroTrusted.ai platform policies are configured to align with team workflows rather than blocking them. Shadow AI is redirected through governed channels instead of prohibited outright. Controls designed based on how teams actually work—achieving compliance and operational adoption.
Strategic leadership enhanced by AI-powered intelligence
Organizations in regulated environments require senior security leadership but often cannot justify $200K+ full-time CISO salary. Embedded security executive 2-4 days per month delivers strategic leadership enhanced by Clause Atlas regulatory scanning and Geopolitical Risk Posture vendor assessment.
Geopolitical lens on technology decisions
Executive counsel on high-stakes decisions where traditional risk frameworks miss strategic dependencies. Vendor risk assessment through state actor lens, M&A security due diligence, supply chain diversification strategy, and authorization pathway optimization.
When assessing AI model providers for healthcare clients, analysis includes data sovereignty concerns, export control implications, and alternative vendor availability. Traditional vendor risk misses strategic dependencies—Geopolitical Risk Posture identifies vulnerabilities before they become mandates.
AI-powered tools that enhance Upstream Risk Translation methodology application at scale.
Exprima uses proprietary and partner AI tools to deliver faster, more comprehensive results while applying Upstream Risk Translation frameworks. Methodology determines where to look. Tools execute at scale. Expertise guides configuration.
AI Regulatory Scanning Engine
Built on large language models trained on federal regulations. Scans contracts for 10,000+ clauses across FAR, DFARS, NIST, CMMC, and AI-specific requirements that traditional GRC platforms miss. Automates Policy Translation Method by continuously monitoring draft regulations and generating compliance matrices in hours rather than weeks.
Clause Atlas operates behind Exprima's service delivery—enhancing the speed and comprehensiveness of compliance gap assessments and regulatory monitoring for all clients.
Multi-Model AI Proposal Generation
Seven AI models operate in parallel with synthetic specialist roles—Technical Writer, Proposal Manager, Solution Architect, and subject matter experts. Synthetic evaluators review output from the perspective of contracting officers. Monte Carlo simulation tests against synthetic competitors to optimize win probability before submission.
Proposal Atlas supports Exprima's federal proposal and advisory deliverables. Multi-model debate produces higher-quality content than single-model generation.
Enterprise AI Governance & Security
Enterprise-grade AI governance platform originally developed for military environments. Features AI Firewall for shadow AI detection, AI Gateway with 99% data redaction, AI Health Check for model drift detection, and full audit trails. Model-agnostic architecture supports GPT, Claude, Gemini, Llama, and on-premise models. Available as cloud or on-premise deployment.
Exprima configures ZeroTrusted.ai using Incentive Analysis framework—policies align with team workflows while maintaining compliance. Powered by ZeroTrusted.ai; implemented and managed by Exprima.
Founded by Elliott Mattice to apply Upstream Risk Translation methodology to organizations navigating complex regulatory and security challenges.
Exprima was founded to apply Upstream Risk Translation methodology—systematic frameworks for converting policy signals, geopolitical developments, and stakeholder incentives into strategic intelligence—to organizations navigating complex regulatory and security challenges in high-consequence environments.
Elliott Mattice founded Exprima to bring systematic risk frameworks developed over 25 years of federal program leadership to organizations requiring early warning advantage and smarter control design in regulated environments.
Over this period, Elliott delivered 40+ federal authorizations including FedRAMP, CMMC, and DoD ATOs while managing $350M+ portfolios. This experience revealed consistent patterns that led to development of Upstream Risk Translation methodology.
Elliott teaches these frameworks at elliottmattice.work and @elliottmattice on YouTube. Exprima applies them using AI-powered tools for client delivery.
