STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Pitney Bowes Inc. (NYSE: PBI), a global shipping and mailing company that provides technology, logistics, and financial services, today announced it has achieved U.S. Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) authorization for the SendPro 360^TM solution, its next-generation sending and receiving platform. The FedRAMP authorization is testament to Pitney Bowes firm commitment to the security of data within its SendPro 360 platform and sustained dedication to its federal government clients. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs is the sponsoring agency for Pitney Bowes.

FedRAMP is a government-wide program that provides a standardized approach to security assessment, authorization, and continuous monitoring for cloud products and services. Buyers benefit from the reassurance that cloud services adhere to a common set of security standards as authorized by the federal government.

The sending and receiving cloud platform from Pitney Bowes provides federal government clients with secure access to a suite of powerful technologies. These include inbound and outbound mailing software like PitneyShip ^TM and PitneyTrack ^TM and comprehensive analytics across the platform. The solutions are some of the very first shipping technologies listed in the FedRAMP marketplace, which simplifies and standardizes access to secure technologies for federal agencies. These FedRAMP services will be provided directly by the dedicated Pitney Bowes Federal Team based in Washington, DC.

“This FedRAMP authorization demonstrates the deep levels of investment, innovation and robust security that are integral to our next-generation sending and receiving platform and services,” said Jason Dies, EVP and President, Sending Technology Solutions, Pitney Bowes. “Securing this prominent standard marks our unwavering commitment to our government clients. We are grateful for the support of the Department of Veterans Affairs, our sponsor throughout the process.”

The authorization was achieved following a robust two-and-a-half year process during which Pitney Bowes was required to demonstrate specific standards of cloud security and commitment to government agencies for its sending and receiving software platform. The Department of Veterans Affairs, as sponsoring agency, provided counsel and guidance throughout the process. With this authorization for SendPro 360, Pitney Bowes joins an impressive list of FedRAMP authorized companies that includes IBM, Google and Microsoft.

FedRAMP was established in 2011 to provide a cost-effective, risk-based approach for the adoption and use of cloud services by the federal government. It drives agencies to embrace cloud technologies, with an emphasis on security and protection of federal information.
