Government IT
Infrastructure in practice
We assess the publicly observable systems, controls, procurement choices, and vendor dependencies that support government operations.
Independent information security research
Public systems deserve public scrutiny.
Yorkie Tech, LLC examines how government technology is selected, deployed, secured, and governed—including the unofficial systems that emerge in the gaps.

What we examine
The technology behind public service.
Security failures rarely begin with a single tool. They emerge from the way infrastructure, policy, vendors, and human workarounds interact.
Shadow IT
Systems outside the map
We study unofficial tools, unmanaged data flows, and operational workarounds that can quietly become critical public infrastructure.
Accountability
Policy measured against reality
We compare stated controls with observable practice and document the gaps that affect security, resilience, privacy, and public trust.
How we work
Observation before conclusion.
Our work is grounded in lawful observation, public records, documentation review, and reproducible technical analysis. We separate what the evidence shows from what it may suggest.
- Public record Policies, contracts, audits, meeting records, and procurement data
- Technical record Publicly observable infrastructure, configuration, and exposure
- Operational record Where official process and day-to-day practice diverge
- Research output Clear findings with sources, limitations, and reproducible evidence
Research principles
Scrutiny without spectacle.
Public-interest research should make complex systems legible—not make them less safe.
-
Evidence first
Claims should be traceable to reliable sources and clearly bounded by what is known.
-
Minimize harm
We do not publish operational detail when disclosure would create unnecessary risk.
-
Systems, not people
Our focus is institutional practice, structural risk, and public accountability.
-
Lawful methods
Research is non-invasive and built from authorized or publicly available information.
Quiet systems still shape public life.
Yorkie Tech makes those systems easier to see, understand, and hold to account.
