Corporations & Private Sector

The environment

Private companies face many of the same technology problems as public agencies: legacy systems that need modernizing, cloud environments that need governing, security programs that insurers and customers now demand, and data that is spread across systems that do not talk to each other. What they do not face is public procurement, which makes engaging HQT simpler and faster.

The companies HQT works best with sell to or work alongside government, operate regulated infrastructure, or simply want engineering done with the discipline public work requires.

Where HQT fits

• Software development. Agile and DevSecOps delivery, modernization of legacy applications, APIs and integration, and application support.
• Cloud and infrastructure. Landing zones, migration, infrastructure as code, cost governance, and operations.
• Cybersecurity. Assessments against the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, Zero Trust roadmaps, phishing-resistant authentication, and NIST SP 800-171 readiness for companies in the defense supply chain.
• Data and AI. Data platforms, reporting, and applied machine learning with the documentation and review practices we use for agencies.
• Technology advisory. Independent architecture review, vendor evaluation, and oversight of implementations.

Companies that sell to government

Firms preparing to serve public-sector customers need to meet the same requirements their customers do: accessibility, security questionnaires, StateRAMP or FedRAMP alignment, CJIS or HIPAA readiness, and documented development practices. HQT helps companies build those capabilities into their products and operations.

How we engage

A written statement of work, a fixed price or a time-and-materials ceiling, named staff, and a defined acceptance process, the same way we work with agencies. Contact us with a requirement or a draft scope.
