WHO WE ARE

We are an NHO owned DevSecOps company

Since 2019, we have brought cybersecurity, cloud adoption & migration, and software architecture & development together to create comprehensive solutions for commercial and government agencies. Although we are a local company based in Honolulu, Hawai’i, we have a national reach with contracts spanning industries such as healthcare, public transportation, insurance, and more.

As a subsidiary of Ke Kumu Ulu, a Native Hawaiian Organization (NHO) non-profit, we are continually re-investing in the communities of Hawai’i through our partnerships with local schools and non-profits.
