What Cask Technologies does

Cask Technologies, LLC (operating as Cask Government Services) is a privately-held, Women-Owned Small Business founded in 2004 and headquartered in Stafford, Virginia. The firm provides business and technology advisory and consulting services to federal, state, and local government agencies, with primary customers drawn from the Department of Defense, including the U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Navy (SPAWAR, Naval Supply Systems Command, Seaport NxG), Marine Corps Systems Command, the Defense Finance and Accounting Service, and civilian agencies such as NASA. Service lines span Cybersecurity (including CMMC consulting and readiness, Computer Network Defense, security control assessments, IV&V, and cloud security), Program Management and Acquisition Support, Systems Engineering, Business and Cost Analytics (using ACEIT, QSM SLIM, and Palisade @Risk), and IT Strategy and Consulting. Delivery is grounded in industry-standard frameworks (NIST, CMMC, ITIL, COBIT, CMMI-SVC, ISO/IEC-20000) rather than proprietary technology platforms.

The company's go-to-market is built on federal contracting vehicles, including prime positions on Seaport NxG (N00178-21-R-7000), GSA OASIS SB Pool 3, and the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, plus subcontract positions on 8(a) STARS III, DIA SITE III, NITAAC CIO SP3 SB, and VA VETS II. Cask is an authorized Certified Third-Party Assessor Organization (C3PAO) under The Cyber AB, one of only a handful of organizations with a Certified CMMC Assessor and multiple CMMC Certified Professionals, and has passed two consecutive DIBCAC High Assessments with a perfect SPRS Score of 110. Revenue is generated through professional services contracts (time-and-materials and fixed-price task orders) under these vehicles, with rates and terms set by each contract vehicle and WOSB small-business credit available to customer agencies. Cask does not disclose pricing or revenue publicly.

The firm operates from Stafford, VA (headquarters) and Albany, GA (delivery office), with a leadership team led by President Kate Ehrle, EVP/CISO Brian Stack, VP of Corporate Operations Nicole Depelteau, Director of CMMC Consulting Jason Spezzano, Director of Business Development Krista McKendree, GSA Contracts Manager Michael Lemon, and Director of Delivery Services Karlton Williams. The company is privately held with no disclosed parent, investors, or funding rounds, and operates without a software product, public API, or consumer-facing application.
