Laser Focused On Solving Our Customers' Biggest Data Problems
Our Story
Ridgeline was founded in 2015 by a group of men and women who have cumulatively spent more than half a century contributing to the U.S. national security mission. Our goal at the time was to fill critical technical gaps impacting our customers in the U.S. government.
Eight years on, Ridgeline is now laser-focused on solving one of the toughest problems we know our customers face, Ubiquitous Technical Surveillance, through an approach we call Digital Signature Management. These threats cut across every industry. We’ve expanded our offerings to meet the unique needs of customers in the Government and business worlds.
Our Mission
In a reality where data lives forever and knows no bounds, Ridgeline gives our customers a competitive edge by delivering the ability to manage their digital signatures.

Our Values
These are our non-negotiables. The values we want all of our teammates to embrace and live out.

We’re honest, empathetic, and committed to doing what’s right for our teammates, clients, and community. We strive to be deliberate, use good judgment, and hold each other to high ethical standards.
Live Our Mission
We exist to solve our customers’ toughest data problems, and we put the mission of our team and customers at the forefront of everything we do.
Strive for Excellence as a Team
We don’t fly solo, but rather act in service to others. Ridgeliners put our colleagues first and strive to enrich their lives professionally and personally. We demand excellence from ourselves and improvement in all activities.
Foster a Learning Environment
We think critically and with cognitive diversity. We’re always seeking and sharing knowledge. We are a resource for our peers and rely on them when we need assistance. When failure presents itself, we don’t falter, but learn from mistakes and focus on the future.
Cultivate Creativity & Innovation
We find the best way to tackle challenges by harnessing inventive mindsets within our teams. We remain flexible and agile as we build the path, then codify our achievements by adding process and structure to create dependable and repeatable solutions.
Awards & Accolades
Our team has accomplished some truly impactful things in the past few years, and we’re grateful for the encouragement we’ve received from our industry peers along the way. While the external validation is certainly nice, we hope these accolades will help future teammates find us and decide they want to get in on the action as part of the Ridgeline team.
