What Probity does

Probity, Inc. is a privately-held, employee-owned IT and systems engineering company headquartered in Herndon, Virginia, founded in 2011. It delivers specialized software and hardware solutions — primarily cross-domain solutions, content analytics, digital forensics, and secure AI/ML — to the U.S. Intelligence, Defense, Civilian, and Law Enforcement Communities, with a smaller commercial footprint in utilities and industrial automation (ICS/SCADA). Its workforce of 51–100 cleared professionals includes subject matter experts in Cross Domain Solutions, Foreign Language Audio Triage, Content Detection, Digital Forensics, and Machine Learning, enabling work in classified cloud, hybrid, and on-premises environments.

The product portfolio is anchored by three core platforms and two supporting products. Fastback is a compact NCDSMO-listed data diode for unidirectional data transfer, available in 1G, 10G, 25G, and 100G configurations and meeting NSA Raise-the-Bar (RTB) standards. Acacia is an enterprise-class Human Language Technology platform for foreign language audio triage and translation, integrating CallOut's Interactive Machine Learning algorithm for spoken language detection, which was co-developed with Carnegie Mellon University. Truxton is an enterprise digital forensics platform that processes terabytes of media per day with automated artifact discovery and correlation, and is complemented by the Portable Forensics Lab (PFL), a tactical under-10-pound field-deployable forensic kit. Deep Bucket Query (DBQ), built on the Google Cloud technology stack (Vertex AI, Gemini, BigQuery), extends the portfolio into AI-based natural language document retrieval for sensitive environments.

Probity generates revenue through one-time licensing of its software and integrated hardware products, hardware sales of combined solutions such as the Fastback Data Diode Kit with Patton, and professional services for GOTS/COTS custom design, development, and integration in classified environments. Pricing is contract-based and not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is dominated by direct enterprise field sales into federal customers, supplemented by Reseller/VAR partnerships (Patton LLC for hardware, Red Hat Embedded Partner status for preconfigured RHEL appliances), and reinforced by a heavy presence at industry events including DoDIIS Worldwide, GEOINT, TechNet Indo-Pacific, the Cross Domain Technical Forum, and Navy CDSO CDS TEM.

Core offering

Probity designs, develops, and integrates specialized software, hardware, and systems engineering solutions for U.S. government agencies across the Intelligence, Defense, Civilian, and Law Enforcement Communities. Its core offerings include NCDSMO-listed data diodes (Fastback), enterprise digital forensics platforms (Truxton, Portable Forensics Lab), Human Language Technology platforms for foreign language audio triage (Acacia, CallOut), and Secure AI/ML solutions, deployed in classified cloud, hybrid, and on-premises environments.

Product overview

Probity delivers a portfolio of specialized software and systems engineering solutions for U.S. Intelligence, Defense, Civilian, and Law Enforcement Communities. The product suite centers on three core platforms: Fastback (NSA-listed data diode for secure unidirectional data transfer), Truxton (enterprise digital forensics platform), and Acacia (Human Language Technology platform). CallOut, an advanced spoken language detection tool, is offered as a standalone product and integrates with the Acacia platform. The Portable Forensics Lab (PFL) extends Truxton's capabilities for field-deployable mobile forensics. Probity also provides Secure AI/ML solutions including Deep Bucket Query (DBQ) for finding information in sensitive document stores.
