AKETEC modernizes public-sector records and data systems so agencies can adopt AI safely — building platforms where every record carries a verifiable, tamper-evident audit trail.
Every engagement starts from the same premise: an agency cannot govern, secure, or automate data it cannot account for. We fix the accounting first.
Moving aging systems and the data inside them onto maintainable platforms — without losing lineage, breaking statutory retention, or stranding the records that matter. We work from a documented current-state assessment, not a rewrite proposal.
Most agencies are being asked to adopt AI on top of data nobody has inventoried, classified, or quality-checked. We build the foundation that makes the AI question answerable — and document it in a form that survives an audit.
Application-layer security for the systems we and others build: review, secure development practice, and remediation support. Findings come with the code change that fixes them, not just a severity rating.
Our specialty. When a record's integrity has to be demonstrable rather than asserted, we design the cryptographic machinery that proves it — tamper-evident logging, provenance chains, and independently verifiable audit trails.
We do not open with an open-ended time-and-materials discovery phase. Each engagement below has a fixed price, a fixed duration, and a document at the end that stands on its own — including if you never hire us again.
We catalogue every AI and automated decision system operating in your department, map each against the governance obligations that apply to it, and hand you a gap register with remediation sequenced by risk.
A structured assessment of a legacy system's technical risk, data condition, and modernization options — written against the modernization framework your agency already reports under, so the output drops straight into a funding request.
How does your records system prove its contents have not been altered? We examine the current audit trail, identify where integrity is asserted rather than demonstrated, and design the tamper-evident controls that close the gap.
We are not the low-risk choice for a hundred-million-dollar program, and we do not bid those. For scoped, technical, accountable work, the things below are advantages rather than compromises.
There is no bench of junior staff waiting behind the proposal. The senior engineer who assesses your system is the one who writes the remediation. Nothing is handed off after award, because there is nobody to hand it to.
Our assessments are priced and bounded before we start. You know what the document contains and when it arrives. If the work needs to grow, that is a new engagement with its own price — not a change order against an open clock.
Assessment output is formatted against the modernization and governance frameworks your agency already reports under. That means it can be attached to a funding request or an audit response without translation.
Cryptographic provenance and tamper-evident system design are a specialty, not a slide. When a records system has to prove its own integrity — for audit, for litigation, or because the statute says so — that is the problem we are built around.
All work is performed in the United States by US persons. No offshore development, no subcontracted delivery to unnamed third parties. Where a contract carries citizenship or data residency requirements, we already meet them.
Current as of August 2026. A formatted capability statement is available on request.
Insurance: general liability, professional liability (E&O), and cyber liability coverage in force. Certificates furnished on request. AKETEC accepts firm-fixed-price, labor-hour, and time-and-materials arrangements, and is available as a subcontractor to prime contract holders.
Tell us the system, the deadline, or the finding you are working around. If an assessment is the right first step we will say so and quote it. If it isn't, we will tell you that too — we would rather pass on work than sell you a document you don't need.
We respond to requests from agency staff, prime contract holders seeking subcontractors, and small business liaison officers within one business day.
