Our Mission

Strengthen national security by enabling more informed decisions.

Our Core Values

We established our ethics policy before writing a single line of code.

Integrity

While upholding the responsibilities of information security, TurbineOne shall only do the kind of work that we would be proud to share with our children someday.

Responsibility

TurbineOne shall strive to understand, and deal with the consequences, of the direct, indirect, and potential use of its technology.

Accountability

Statements are not as strong as actions and TurbineOne shall conduct its operations (e.g. projects to bid on, partners to collaborate with, external audits to invite, etc) through clear decisions that put principles above profit.

Non-Partisan

In addition to complying with U.S. laws and regulations, and international cooperative frameworks, TurbineOne shall rise above short-term events and commit to the long-term prosperity of our nation.

Prosperity

TurbineOne commits to prioritizing projects and technologies that advance peace, alliances, and diplomacy.
