Ntrepid LLC

Ntrepid LLC is an American cybersecurity and software company that builds AI-powered managed attribution platforms for national security operations, open-source intelligence (OSINT) work and cyber missions. Founded in 2010 and headquartered in Herndon, Virginia, the firm provides government clients with secure, scalable deployment of virtual and physical devices, on-demand networking and automated data collection, supporting online activities designed to be undetectable. Its platform is used by more than 50 government entities.

The company's Managed Attribution Platform allows users to deploy on-demand networks, manage physical and virtual devices and automate intelligence collection. It offers global egress points through data centres, ISPs and mobile networks, ephemeral virtual machines for temporary operations, and customisable workspaces governed by strict auditing and role-based access controls. Technical work spans cybersecurity, AI and machine learning, virtualisation, networking and automated data collection.

The firm was founded by Richard Hollis Helms, a nearly 30-year veteran of the CIA, and describes its orientation as mission-driven towards government and national security clients. Compliance forms a core part of its operating model: the company adheres to NIST SP 800-171 Rev 2 and SOC 2 Type 2 standards, with an emphasis on auditing and access control throughout its products.
