Pitney Bowes Achieves IL4 Provisional Authorization for SendPro® 360 Platform Solutions, Expanding Secure Shipping and Mailing Capabilities for the U.S. Department of Defense

Key Terms

controlled unclassified information (cui) regulatory

Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) is sensitive government-related material that is not classified as secret but is still restricted and must be handled according to specific rules—think of it as a locked folder you can open only under certain conditions. For investors, CUI matters because companies that access, store or process it face compliance requirements, security controls and potential penalties for mishandling, all of which can affect contract eligibility, costs and risk profiles.

dod cloud computing security requirements guide (srg) regulatory

The DoD Cloud Computing Security Requirements Guide (SRG) is a set of government rules that tells cloud providers how to protect Department of Defense data in the cloud, organized into security tiers based on sensitivity. Think of it like building codes for digital storage: meeting the SRG means a provider has the controls needed to handle military or government workloads. For investors, SRG compliance affects which vendors can win defense contracts, the cost of doing business, and the regulatory risk and revenue potential of cloud companies.

cybersecurity maturity model certification (cmmc) regulatory

A cybersecurity maturity model certification (CMMC) is a formal, graded certification that verifies an organization's cybersecurity practices meet specific standards for protecting sensitive information, particularly in government and defense supply chains. Investors should care because CMMC can determine a company’s eligibility for certain contracts, change its compliance costs, and reduce the risk of damaging breaches—similar to a safety inspection that affects whether a business can operate and attract customers.

fedramp regulatory

FedRAMP (Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program) is a U.S. government initiative that sets security standards for cloud computing services used by federal agencies. It ensures that these online platforms protect sensitive information, similar to how a security system safeguards a building. For investors, FedRAMP indicates that a cloud service meets strict security requirements, which can influence its reliability and trustworthiness in handling data.

This authorization builds on Pitney Bowes’ commitment to secure, compliant cloud-based sending solutions for federal and defense agencies

SHELTON, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Pitney Bowes (NYSE: PBI), a technology-driven company that provides digital shipping solutions, mailing innovation, and financial services to clients around the world, today announced it has achieved Provisional Authorization for Impact Level 4 (IL4) for its SendPro^® 360 platform solutions. This milestone enables U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) agencies and authorized defense contractors to leverage SendPro 360 to manage shipping and mailing operations in alignment with stringent DoD cloud security requirements.

The Provisional Authorization, granted through the DoD Cloud Computing Security Requirements Guide (SRG) process, validates that SendPro 360 meets the rigorous controls required to process and store Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and other mission-sensitive data at Impact Level 4. This provides defense agencies and supporting organizations with confidence that Pitney Bowes’ cloud-based shipping and mailing platform aligns with DoD cybersecurity and risk management standards.

“Achieving IL4 Provisional Authorization reflects our continued investment in delivering secure, compliant solutions for the public sector,” said Todd Everett, Executive Vice President and President of Sending Technology Solutions, Pitney Bowes. “Government and defense organizations operate in complex, highly regulated environments. With SendPro 360, they can streamline shipping and mailing operations while meeting the highest standards for data protection and operational resilience.”

Secure, Scalable Shipping and Mailing for Mission-Critical Environments

SendPro 360 is an enterprise shipping and mailing platform designed to centralize carrier management, automate shipping workflows, control costs and provide real-time visibility across distributed locations. With IL4 Provisional Authorization, DoD agencies and authorized contractors can deploy SendPro 360 to:

• Manage mailing and multi-carrier shipping across field offices while enforcing sending policies and automating compliance controls
• Track inbound packages and manage secure distribution through integrated smart locker systems for controlled pickup and chain-of-custody
• Enhance tracking, reporting and audit readiness
• Protect CUI and other sensitive information within a secure cloud environment

In addition to its IL4 Provisional Authorization, Pitney Bowes has achieved Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) 1.0 certification. These milestones build on Pitney Bowes’ broader commitment to public sector compliance, including prior FedRAMP and GovRAMP authorizations for the cloud-based SendPro 360 platform. Together, these credentials underscore the company’s ability to meet the evolving cybersecurity and risk management needs of federal, state and local government agencies.

Enabling Modernization Across Defense Logistics

As defense agencies modernize supply chains and digitize back-office operations, secure cloud platforms play a critical role in improving efficiency and accountability. By achieving IL4 Provisional Authorization, Pitney Bowes helps ensure that shipping and mailing operations can be integrated into secure digital ecosystems that support mission readiness.

“Modern logistics require both agility and security,” added Todd Everett. “With SendPro 360 now authorized at IL4, defense organizations can confidently modernize shipping and mailing processes without compromising compliance.”
