Shield Analysis Technology

What Shield Analysis Technology does

Shield Analysis Technology, LLC is a privately held, founder-led professional services firm founded in 2007 by Dr. Denise N. Baken and headquartered in Manassas, Virginia, with an additional site in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The firm delivers interdisciplinary consulting, strategic planning, intelligence analysis, program management, strategic communications, and cyber data-fusion support primarily to U.S. Department of Defense clients, with disclosed engagements for the U.S. Army Medical Research and Development Command (USAMRDC) and the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA). Its core capability is the integration of structured, unstructured, and semi-structured data sources into decision-support products for defense, national security, healthcare, and STEM-workforce stakeholders.

Underlying technology centers on open-source big data integration, intelligence-analysis systems designed to reduce cognitive load on decision-makers, and cyber-security data fusion that incorporates political, economic, and social indicators. The firm does not sell a software product; rather, it packages these capabilities as professional services delivered through prime and subcontract vehicles, with CAGE Code 4YBL1 and UEI KMCKBBLLUBQ7.

The business model is straightforward federal contracting: Shield pursues and wins prime and subcontract awards from defense and national security agencies under cost-plus or firm-fixed-price vehicles with option years. Notable contract economics include a $3.9 million, four-year USAMRDC recompete award commenced in August 2022, delivered jointly with Allied Technology, LLC as prime. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The firm is certified as a Woman-Owned, Service-Disabled-Veteran-Owned, 8(a), and EDWOSB small business, which underpins preferential set-aside access in federal procurement.
