TechFirmation LLC is a veteran-owned independent research firm providing regulatory and technology intelligence to organizations navigating complex compliance environments. We've been doing this work for over 15 years — before it was called "RegTech."
The regulatory landscape is genuinely difficult to navigate. Frameworks evolve, guidance conflicts, and the gap between what the rules say and what organizations should actually do is rarely obvious. We exist to close that gap.
TechFirmation was founded on a simple conviction: that organizations deserve research they can trust — analysis produced without commercial agenda, vendor alignment, or the temptation to oversimplify for the sake of a sale.
That's the standard we've held since we opened our doors, and it's the standard we hold today.
Our research team combines deep policy expertise with real-world experience in the industries we serve — not just academic familiarity with the frameworks we analyze.
25+ years of technology policy and regulatory research experience. Deep expertise in DoD procurement and NIST framework evolution. Military veteran with extensive background in compliance framework analysis and government technology policy. Founded TechFirmation in 2010.
Specializes in technology standards monitoring and the intersection of federal acquisition policy with emerging technology.
Leads client relationships and engagement strategy. Brings extensive experience in regulatory consulting, organizational communication, and research program development across sectors.
Military service teaches a particular relationship with complexity — the discipline to understand a situation completely before acting, the rigor to verify rather than assume, and the accountability to stand behind your analysis when it matters.
Those values are embedded in how TechFirmation operates. When we publish a research briefing, we've read the primary sources. When we characterize a regulatory requirement, we've traced it to the statute or official guidance — not a third-party summary. When our analysis has implications for how an organization operates, we say so directly.
As a veteran-owned small business, we also understand firsthand the compliance obligations that come with participating in the defense industrial base — which informs both our research depth on CMMC and DFARS, and our genuine empathy for organizations navigating those requirements.
