About hst.

Transforming Organizations Through Technology

We're a mission-driven technology company dedicated to helping those who protect our communities. For over 15 years, we've partnered with government agencies and first responders to build the systems that matter most.

Built for Those Who Protect

At hst., we believe technology should serve the mission—not the other way around. Every solution we build, every system we deploy, is designed with one goal in mind: helping our clients protect their communities more effectively.

We're not just another government contractor. We're practitioners, technologists, and problem-solvers who understand that when our systems work, lives are saved.

From Emergency Managers to Technology Leaders

hst. was founded by emergency management professionals who saw a gap between what technology could do and what it was actually doing for public safety. Too many agencies were stuck with outdated systems, siloed data, and tools that didn't work when they needed them most.

We set out to change that. Starting with a small team and a handful of FEMA contracts, we built a company that combines deep domain expertise with modern technology practices. Today, we serve federal agencies, state and local governments, first responders, and private sector organizations across the country.

But our mission hasn't changed: build technology that works when it matters most, for the people who need it most.

What Drives Us

The principles that guide everything we do.

Mission First

Every decision we make is filtered through one question: does this help our clients accomplish their mission?

Excellence Always

Good enough isn't good enough. We hold ourselves to the highest standards because our clients' missions demand it.

People Matter

Behind every system is a person trying to do their job. We build for real people, not theoretical users.

Innovate Responsibly

We embrace new technology—but only when it genuinely serves the mission, not just because it's new.
