Overview
WidePoint Corporation is an American technology services company headquartered in Fairfax, Virginia. Its business is oriented primarily toward government customers, while also serving commercial organizations in the United States. The company combines wireless mobility management, cybersecurity, secure identity services, and information-technology consulting rather than operating as a consumer-facing product brand. WidePoint was incorporated in Delaware on May 30, 1997. Its development has been shaped by the combination of IT consulting and technology businesses, including acquisitions that expanded its capabilities in certification authority services, cybersecurity, expense management, forensic informatics, remote authentication, and emergency-response coordination. The company acquired ORC in November 2004, iSYS in January 2008, and Protexx Acquisition Corp. in July 2008. It also operates WidePoint IL, Inc., although the available reference material does not provide further detail about that entity. The company’s activities are organized around three broad areas. Wireless mobility management addresses the administration and control of mobile communications and related expenses. Cybersecurity services include secure authentication, identity verification, penetration testing, and other protective or technical services. Consulting and information-technology services support federal and private-sector organizations with integration, forensic informatics, infrastructure, and specialized operational requirements. A notable part of WidePoint’s technology portfolio is a patented digital parsing tool designed to let users access accounts through a secure repository gateway. The referenced security architecture uses asymmetric authentication associated with public key infrastructure (PKI). Through its ORC subsidiary, WidePoint provides secure authentication and certification services and serves as an authorized certification authority for the U.S. Department of Defense, the General Services Administration, and other certificate-based government environments. WidePoint’s subsidiaries and affiliated operations extend the company’s capabilities. iSYS, founded in 1999 and acquired in 2008, provides IT services to federal and private organizations, including expense management, forensic informatics, and cybersecurity. ORC focuses on IT integration and secure authentication for the U.S. government. Protexx provides remote authentication across wired and wireless networks. Advance Response Concepts Corporation supports identity verification, emergency coordination between emergency services and infrastructure agencies, and evidence-tracking software used by the U.S. Department of Justice. The company’s government customer base is concentrated in the Mid-Atlantic region. Referenced government clients and contract holders include the Transportation Security Administration, Department of Homeland Security, Department of Defense, Washington Headquarters Services, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and the Centers for Disease Control. WidePoint has offices in Northern Virginia and additional locations identified in the reference material in Columbus, Ohio; Los Angeles, California; and Dublin, Ireland. WidePoint competes with companies of different sizes across its service categories. Named competitors in mobility management include Avalon Technologies, Profitline, and Tangoe. In cybersecurity and consulting, the reference material identifies Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman as competitors. The available material does not establish current revenue, ownership, stock-market status, executive leadership, or a company website, so those fields are left unspecified.
History
WidePoint Corporation was incorporated in Delaware on May 30, 1997. From its early development, the company grew through the combination of IT consulting and technology businesses, ultimately focusing on services for government agencies and commercial organizations in the United States. Rather than building its identity around a single mass-market software or hardware product, WidePoint assembled capabilities across secure communications, cybersecurity, identity management, mobility administration, and information-technology consulting. A major step in this development came in November 2004, when WidePoint acquired ORC. ORC brought IT integration and secure authentication capabilities for government customers and operated as an authorized certification authority for the U.S. Department of Defense, the General Services Administration, and other certificate-based authorities. This capability positioned WidePoint within the public-key-infrastructure ecosystem, where digital certificates and asymmetric authentication are used to establish trusted identities and control access to protected systems. WidePoint expanded its consulting and cybersecurity footprint through the acquisition of iSYS in January 2008. Founded in 1999, iSYS provided IT services to federal and private organizations, including expense management, forensic informatics, and cybersecurity. The acquisition added specialized technical and investigative capabilities to WidePoint’s broader government-services portfolio. In July 2008, WidePoint acquired Protexx Acquisition Corp. Protexx focused on remote authentication over wired and wireless networks, complementing ORC’s certificate and identity services. WidePoint also operated WidePoint IL, Inc. and Advance Response Concepts Corporation. Advance Response Concepts, also referred to as ARCC, provided identity verification, coordination between emergency services and infrastructure agencies, and evidence-tracking software for the Department of Justice. The company’s technology offering includes a patented digital parsing tool intended to allow users to access accounts through a secure repository gateway. The referenced implementation relies on asymmetric authentication associated with public key infrastructure. Alongside these identity and authentication capabilities, WidePoint provides smart-card identity verification, penetration testing, wireless expense management, and other IT devices and services. WidePoint’s business groups are described as covering wireless mobility management, cybersecurity solutions, and consulting services. Its customers and contract relationships include federal agencies such as the Transportation Security Administration, Department of Homeland Security, Department of Defense, Washington Headquarters Services, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and the Centers for Disease Control. The company’s government customer base is concentrated in the Mid-Atlantic region, reflecting its Northern Virginia location and proximity to federal institutions. The reference material identifies WidePoint’s headquarters as Fairfax, Virginia, with additional offices in Northern Virginia, Columbus, Ohio, Los Angeles, California, and Dublin, Ireland. Its competitors vary by service segment. Avalon Technologies, Profitline, and Tangoe are identified in mobility management, while Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman are identified in cybersecurity and consulting. The available material does not provide reliable information about the company’s current executives, financial performance, listing status, ticker symbol, ownership, or official website. Those details are therefore not asserted here.
