ChargePoint Becomes One of the First EV Charging Providers to Receive FedRAMP Approval

ChargePoint (NYSE: CHPT), a leading provider of networked solutions for charging electric vehicles (EVs), today announced it is has become one of the first providers of EV charging solutions to receive Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) approval from the United States Federal Government.

ChargePoint cloud software products now meet all FedRAMP requirements and will be included in the FedRAMP marketplace in the coming weeks.

These requirements include best-in-class data security, dedicated cloud hosting for federal customers, and rigorous standards for authorization, access, and continuous monitoring. ChargePoint’s cloud software gives customers real-time visibility into data such as power use, energy costs, station usage, session fees and more.

“ChargePoint has been a trusted partner to many levels of the U.S. government for years, providing EV charging infrastructure and software to help federal agencies lead the transition to electric mobility,” said Teza Mukkavilli, Chief Information Security Officer of ChargePoint. “ChargePoint’s comprehensive cloud solution gives customers real-time visibility into data such as power use, energy costs, station usage, session fees and more.

This authorization demonstrates our commitment and proven ability to providing the highest standards of security for our customers, while unlocking potential millions of dollars in U.S. federal government opportunities.”

FedRAMP is the U.S. government’s standardized approach to security assessment and authorization for cloud computing products and services. It was established in 2011 to provide a cost effective, risk-based approach for the adoption and use of cloud services by the federal government. FedRAMP empowers agencies to use modern cloud technologies, with emphasis on security and protection of federal information. ChargePoint has been approved by GSA (General Services Administration) for the FedRAMP Authority to Operate process.

Specifically, ChargePoint has achieved AICPA SOC 2 – SOC for Service Organizations: Trust Services Criteria certification confirming our dedication to safely managing company, customer and driver information.
