About us

A UK partner built around your mission

You need a partner who can hold, exploit and share your most sensitive data on a sovereign footing. Bluestaq Limited is that partner: the UK subsidiary of Bluestaq LLC, delivering secure, resilient data infrastructure for defence, space and intelligence in the UK and across allied nations.

Who we are

UK delivery, drawing on proven capability

Bluestaq LLC was founded in 2018 in Colorado Springs, where its first prototype supported the Space Domain Awareness mission. From that beginning, it has grown into a trusted builder of enterprise data ecosystems that securely ingest, store, manage, discover and share data.

Bluestaq Limited brings that capability to the United Kingdom on a sovereign footing. We work alongside the wider Bluestaq team while delivering for UK customers under UK control, with UK data residency options where the mission requires them. Our purpose is simple: mission-critical capability through exceptional people, secure data and resilient technology.
