About Us

S1 Technology is a group of industry veterans from Lafayette, Louisiana. We've built IT businesses and we've been the customers of IT businesses. In that experience, we recognized that small and mid‑sized businesses were being underserved; so, we set out to deliver enterprise level tech support and expertise with a security‑first approach.

We're different than the other guys because we care about your uptime, not just your downtime. We're focused on proactive maintenance & preventing problems, not just showing up when things break. This allows us to get in front of issues and spend time taking care of the people using technology.

At S1 Technology, we're more than a Managed IT Services and Cybersecurity provider - we're trusted advisors who help businesses harness technology to win. We hold ourselves to a high standard of excellence, accountability, and customer experience.

S1 Technology is committed to maintaining a safe, secure, and compliant workplace for our employees and the clients we serve. As a condition of employment, all offers are contingent upon the successful completion of the following, where applicable to the position:

• Background Check: Candidates may be required to pass a comprehensive background check, which may include criminal history, employment verification, education verification, and reference checks. Given our work supporting clients with cybersecurity and compliance requirements (including CMMC), certain roles may require enhanced screening consistent with personnel security standards.
• Drug Screening: S1 Technology maintains a drug‑free workplace. Candidates for positions involving driving company or personal vehicles for business purposes, or accessing client sites and systems, may be required to pass a pre‑employment drug screening.
• Employment Eligibility Verification (E-Verify): S1 Technology participates in E-Verify and will verify the identity and employment eligibility of all newly hired employees through this federal program.
• Motor Vehicle Record (MVR) Check: For roles requiring travel to client locations, a valid driver's license and acceptable driving record may also be required.

All screenings will be conducted in accordance with applicable federal and Louisiana state law, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) where applicable. Candidates will receive appropriate disclosure and authorization forms prior to any background check being initiated, and will be notified of their rights under FCRA if adverse action is contemplated based on screening results.

This notice does not constitute an offer or guarantee of employment. All offers of employment are contingent upon successful completion of the applicable pre‑employment screenings described above.
