Imprimis

What Imprimis does

Imprimis is a private cybersecurity and space technology company headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colorado, founded in 2004 and operating as a subsidiary of i2M Corporation. The company serves the Defense Industrial Base (DIB), federal and state government agencies, commercial small and mid-sized businesses, and universities. Its primary operating focus is cybersecurity compliance, with a secondary space-technology line run through a sister subsidiary, i2 Strategic Services, LLC, which supports the U.S. Air Force Academy on space-related programs.

The company's flagship product is i2ACT (Imprimis Assessment and Compliance Tool), a software platform purpose-built for achieving and maintaining compliance with CMMC, NIST 800-171, NIST 800-53, and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework. i2ACT ships with 400+ pre-loaded Rapid Assessment Modules (RAMs), automates evidence collection and gap analysis, and produces remediation guidance. The platform is sold across multiple tiers corresponding to CMMC maturity levels. Imprimis also operates i2 Strategic Services, LLC, providing space technology capabilities to the U.S. Air Force Academy, which gives the firm a credible defense/aerospace heritage beyond pure commercial cybersecurity work.

Imprimis generates revenue through a mix of one-time software licenses (priced from $495 for Level 1 to $2,295+ for Level 2), CMMC readiness and remediation professional services, managed security service provider (MSSP) engagements, and channel sales via the i2Sentinel Partners program targeting managed service providers that serve SMB DIB contractors. The company is bootstrapped (no disclosed funding rounds), with a headcount in the 11–50 range, and has shown recent offensive activity including the i2ACT 4.0 release and a website repositioning aligned to CMMC 2.0.
