Entrust
Entrust is an Identity Verification & KYC company founded in 1969 and based in Shakopee, United States.
Entrust is a privately held company headquartered in Shakopee, Minnesota. It traces to Datacard, founded in 1969 and owned by the Quandt family's investment office since 1987, which bought Entrust from Thoma Bravo in 2013, operated as Entrust Datacard from 2014 and took the Entrust name on September 14, 2020. It sells card and ID issuance systems, identity verification, authentication, certificate and key lifecycle management and post-quantum cryptography, including the hardware security module business it bought from Thales in February 2019. Entrust completed its acquisition of London identity-verification company Onfido in April 2024, at a reported price of up to $650 million, and folded Onfido's document and biometric checks into its identity products. It sold its public TLS certificate business to Sectigo on January 29, 2025, after Google Chrome and Mozilla stopped trusting its newly issued certificates in November 2024. Tony Ball succeeded Todd Wilkinson as chief executive on March 31, 2026.
Entrust is the home of Onfido's identity-verification business after the April 2024 acquisition, and it has completed more than 1 billion identity verifications worldwide. In February 2026 it partnered with Google Cloud to run its verification tools on Google's security infrastructure for banks and insurers facing injection attacks at onboarding. On July 14, 2026 it opened an Agentic AI Trust Accelerator, led by COO Anudeep Parhar, to build identity, authorization and cryptographic records for enterprise AI agents.
