TrustedQA

TrustedQA (TQA) is an IT consulting and services provider helping customers design, build, and deliver software. The company has an emphasis on efficiency and security. TQA works with both public and private sector companies, delivering software to customer-facing businesses or for combatants. Because of this, the security of the software is important to TQA, while the company works to push the boundaries of software and technology in its business sectors.

The company was founded in 1988 by Paul and Mary Ann Moyer and is headquartered in Reston, Virginia. On May 1, 2021, the couple, who had maintained ownership of the company to that point, announced the sale of the majority ownership to their sons, Neil and Keith Moyer. Neil Moyer serves as CEO and president of the company, while Paul Moyer remains on the board of directors. Keith Moyer joined TQA to support the business development and delivery initiatives.

TQA's customers have included Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, CACI, National Geographic, FICO, Leidos, Cambium Assessment, Alion, SAP Concur, AARP, Iridium, Evolent Health, Westat, and Avaya. The company has won awards from suppliers, such as Northrop Grumman's "World Class Team Supplier" award, and has been recognized as a recommended supplier to the United States Air Force.

TQA performs software quality assurance and testing for all points throughout the software development lifecycle. The company's services through this process have changed over time as the industry emphasis has changed, such as a greater emphasis on agility and the use of DevOps throughout the lifecycle. Further, quality assurance has shifted to quality engineering, which works to focus on building quality into a product to allow for an expansion of TQA's services. The quality assurance and testing solutions include cybersecurity services, such as risk assessment, active penetration, vulnerability testing, exploit analysis, and continuous monitoring.

TQA provides DevOps and automation solutions for agile software development, with an understanding of modern frameworks and technologies such as user interface frameworks, back-end software architectures, provisioning, configuration management, application deployment, continuous delivery, security, and orchestration. The client base of these services includes private and government industries, where TQA has helped to plan processes and roadmaps, develop tools, and consult on staffing to deploy incremental, measurable progress and improvements in development pipelines.

TQA offers systems integration solutions to help integrate mission-critical systems and evolve and modernize interfaces, protocols, data types, multi-tiered network architectures, and virtual operating environments that require system-level integration for platforms, interfaces, databases, and systems utilities. The company has worked with defense information systems to help facilitate these integrations and decrease development times while working to reduce overhead costs for these programs.

In its infrastructure support solutions, TQA performs operational support for modern IT infrastructure, working with companies and government agencies that host sensitive and classified data and software applications and offering integrating, upgrading, and managing domain services and infrastructure services. The company says these services include system security, application patch management, backup and restoration, system auditing, and performance management, among other IT administration-related services.

TQA offers systems engineering solutions and services, providing clients with ideas or concepts and developing the system that meets the desired functionality. This includes taking a holistic view of designing and managing systems throughout their lifecycles to decrease risk, increasing operational effectiveness, streamlining integration, and delivering those capabilities desired by the client and related stakeholders.

TQA's software engineering services are developed to identify complex issues in systems and software and build and develop applications for clients. This is to help clients solve challenges, such as data visualization of complex multi-tiered mission-critical combat systems or mobile applications to simplify takeout meal ordering and delivery.

For cybersecurity solutions, TQA maintains certification and accreditation for cybersecurity; develops risk management framework documentation; and ensures port systems, protocols, and services to keep them safe and configurable, especially for the Department of Defense and private industry.

TQA has, since its founding, provided IT modernization, professional services, and software services and solutions for government and defense clients in the U.S. Government and for related defense industry partners. These include engineering and software solutions for complex systems that include logistics, weapons, command and control (C2), and medicare systems to respond to the rapidly changing environments in which these systems operate.

Beyond the explored above, for government and defense clients, TQA offers C4I systems installation and fielding, including the development of parts of these systems to ensure functional capabilities and security of the architecture of these systems. As part of the functional capabilities, this includes ensuring system integration and interoperability for C4I systems, which tend to have complicated interfaces, protocols, and data types and, as such, can be difficult to integrate into other platforms, interfaces, databases, and system utilities.
