Sharetru Federal Now Available: FedRAMP Moderate Authorized Platform Launches for Defense and Regulated Industries
LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sharetru, a secure Managed File Transfer (MFT) platform trusted for over 25 years, today announced the commercialization of its FedRAMP Moderate Authorized platform, Sharetru Federal, now available to all organizations requiring strict compliance and security standards for Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). The platform was granted FedRAMP Moderate Authorization on May 2, 2025, under a Joint Authorization Board (JAB) Authorization, and is listed as an authorized service in the FedRAMP Marketplace. 'Our FedRAMP-authorized platform is ready out of the box—just point to the Package ID in your audit. No mapping. No stress.' — Sharetru Federal is live. With this launch, Sharetru has also introduced two new streamlined plans designed to simplify procurement for organizations in the Defense Industrial Base (DIB), government contracting, aerospace, and other highly regulated sectors. 'Sharetru Federal is a major step in our commitment to helping defense and regulated industries share sensitive data with confidence,' said Martin Horan, Founder of Sharetru. Building on that, the company's go-to-market approach is focused on making secure, compliant file sharing easier to buy and faster to deploy. ' Our strategy is to make FedRAMP-level security accessible—not just for primes, but for businesses of any size,' said Brendon Ainsworth, Chief Revenue Officer at Sharetru. 'We've packaged an economical, audit-ready solution that removes friction from compliance and accelerates time to value.' Compliance Without the Guesswork Every site on the Sharetru Federal platform is pre-configured and locked down to meet FedRAMP Moderate minimums—so customers don't have to interpret the controls or implement additional hardening steps. There's no ambiguity. Organizations simply inherit the platform's existing authorization, referencing the FedRAMP Package ID F1311222650 — where Sharetru is listed as an authorized CSP — in their body of evidence. Sharetru's go-to-market approach is rooted in simplicity: we eliminate the guesswork and give compliance managers the fastest path to secure file transfer in a FedRAMP-authorized environment. As the Department of Defense moves toward full enforcement of CMMC, Sharetru's forward looking industry view sees FedRAMP authorization—not equivalency—as the only reliable path forward. Unlike 'equivalent' solutions that have varied over time in interpretation and audit readiness, Sharetru Federal offers the clarity, confidence, and defensibility that today's government contractors and regulated industries demand. CMMC Reciprocity: Designed for the Future of CUI Protection Because Sharetru Federal is FedRAMP Moderate Authorized at the IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS layers and aligned to NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 controls, it offers complete reciprocity with CMMC Advanced (Level 2) for the handling and sharing of CUI. It's one of the few platforms in the FedRAMP Marketplace to provide this level of alignment and assurance. No guesswork. No complexity. Just a FedRAMP-authorized, CMMC-ready solution for secure file exchange. About Sharetru Sharetru is a U.S.-based, cloud-native Managed File Transfer platform with a 25-year legacy of delivering secure, reliable, and compliant file sharing. Formerly known as FTP Today, the company has served thousands of customers in defense, aerospace, healthcare, government contracting, and other compliance-driven industries. Sharetru is trusted for: Flexible File Sharing Options: Users can share files via the web app, automate transfers with SFTP, FTPS, or FTPeS, or send files using secure share links. Granular Access Control: SSO integration, flexible user access groups, and clearly defined admin roles make it easy to manage permissions securely at scale. Compliance-Ready Platform: Integrated SIEM support, automated audit logging, and the required log retention help meet HIPAA, ITAR, DFARS, and CJIS requirements. From encrypted file exchange to audit readiness, Sharetru helps organizations meet the moment with simplicity and security.
