Built to change outcomes before harm occurs

With roots in the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Emeritus Center of Excellence, Davista brings together decades of experience in security, risk, data science, geospatial intelligence, and operational decision-making. We began with a clear conviction: organizations should not have to wait for an incident to understand the conditions that led to it.
We created Heimdall to give experienced professionals greater foresight. Serving corporate security and risk, law enforcement, and student safety, Heimdall helps organizations recognize meaningful change, direct limited resources more intelligently, and intervene while there is still time to influence the outcome.
Our purpose extends beyond technology. We help protect employees, students, officers, customers, and communities while reducing incidents, crime, operational cost, risk exposure, and potential liability. We measure our success not by the volume of data we process, but by the harm our customers prevent and the outcomes they change.

Our Origins

Davista’s story began inside Purdue University’s Visual Analytics for Command, Control, and Interoperability Environments—or VACCINE—Center, a U.S. Department of Homeland Security Center of Excellence focused on transforming complex government data into actionable intelligence.

Our founders applied advanced data science, geospatial analytics, and visualization to real operational challenges, including work supporting the U.S. Coast Guard’s ability to improve resource allocation, optimize patrol activity, and strengthen public-safety outcomes. That experience established the foundation for what would become Davista: using data not simply to explain what happened, but to help experienced professionals influence what happens next.
​
Founded through Purdue University’s startup ecosystem, Davista carried that foundation into the commercial market, incorporating in late 2022. Today, Heimdall applies predictive operating intelligence across corporate security and risk, law enforcement, and student safety, three distinct missions united by one purpose: helping protect people before harm occurs.
