Twenty-five years inside federal programs, now focused on yours.
Exprima exists because the federal market's rules are written in the government's language — and fluency only comes from working in it. We spent 25 years winning authorizations, running programs, and delivering for agencies across defense, homeland security, federal health, and civilian government. That fluency is what we bring to your side of the table.
Elliott Mattice
Elliott spent 25 years leading federal IT operations, cybersecurity programs, and business development across defense, healthcare, and federal contracting. Along the way he delivered more than 40 federal authorizations — FedRAMP, CMMC, and DoD ATOs — while managing program portfolios north of $350M.
That work took him through the exact processes Exprima's clients now face — authorization reviews, compliance audits, competitive procurements, and program oversight — from the practitioner's seat, over and over. Exprima's advice starts from what those reviews actually check, because we have prepared for them and passed them ourselves.
Exprima brings that pattern recognition to dual-use startups, commercial companies entering government, and the investors behind them — with delivery running on ClauseAtlas, the compliance platform Exprima built for government regulation.
Across the federal landscape.
The experience behind Exprima spans the programs of federal agencies and the contractors that serve them — across defense and national security, homeland security, federal health, and civilian government.
The principles the practice runs on.
Own the whole arc
Qualification, capture, and delivery fail at the handoffs. We run them as one engagement so nothing falls between the phases — and one owner is accountable for the outcome.
Build for the grader
Compliance programs fail when they're built to the regulation's text instead of the assessor's checklist. We design controls and evidence around what the government actually verifies.
Platform-backed, judgment-led
ClauseAtlas does the exhaustive reading; experienced operators make the calls. Clients get machine coverage and executive judgment — not one pretending to be the other.
Results over deliverables
Success is measured in authorizations granted, contracts won, and audits passed — not binders produced. Documents serve outcomes, never the reverse.
Early beats reactive
Federal requirements telegraph themselves months before they land. We position clients ahead of rule changes instead of scrambling after publication.
Straight answers
If a federal path isn't real — the timeline, the cost, the odds — we say so before you spend on it. Clients and investors get the same clear-eyed read.
