Mentana-Claimsoft obtains De-Mail accreditation
De-Mail technology given the go-ahead as German Federal Office for
Information Security (BSI) grants certificate to FP subsidiary at CeBIT
Birkenwerder, 17th February 2012 - The Federal Office for Information
Security (BSI) is to grant Mentana-Claimsoft GmbH accreditation as a
De-Mail provider. The BSI will present the subsidiary of the listed company
Francotyp-Postalia Holding AG (FP) with the accreditation certificate at
CeBIT (Hall 12, Stand B35) on the morning of 6 March (Tuesday).
This is the final go-ahead for the new communications technology.
Mentana-Claimsoft will also present its products and De-Mail prices in a
public press conference at CeBIT on the same day (6 March, 16:00,
Heidelberg Room, Convention Center, Ground Floor). ´To finally achieve this
status as a certified De-Mail provider is a fantastic achievement for us
and marks a strong step forward along our path to become a multi-channel
provider for mail management´, explains Andreas Drechsler, member of the
Management Board of Francotyp-Postalia Holding AG.
Three steps to becoming a provider
´Over the last few months, we have been heavily involved in the
accreditation process, providing numerous pieces of evidence, answering
questions and documenting our processes and technical infrastructure. We
are therefore delighted to now be in a position to launch our De-Mail
products on the market´, adds Axel Janhoff, Managing Director of
Mentana-Claimsoft GmbH and Francotyp-Postalia Vertrieb und Service GmbH. To
obtain accreditation as a De-Mail provider from the BSI, three crucial
certificates are required: Firstly, there is the ISO 27001 certificate on
the basis of IT baseline protection, confirming the security of the
provider´s De-Mail infrastructure. Mentana-Claimsoft GmbH obtained this ISO
certificate back in December 2011. The next step was to pass a function and
operability test, for which the BSI issued a certificate of completion as
well as a data protection certificate (as defined in Article 18 (3) No. 4
of the De-Mail Act). The latter was awarded to Mentana-Claimsoft by the
Federal Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (BfDI)
Peter Schaar.
De-Mail is a secure, confidential and legally binding fully electronic
postal service. De-Mail is binding in that both the sender and recipient
must be securely identified when registering for the first time, before
they are able to use the technology. Confidentiality is guaranteed with
especially strong encryption, and the De-Mail Act defines the security
requirements and provides the legal basis so that it has the same legal
effect as conventional mail.
Sending sensitive mail in digital form securely
De-Mail is of particular interest to authorities and companies. With
De-Mail, they now also have the option to send sensitive documents in
digital form, which previously required a conventional letter. Sensitive
documents include, for example, personal data, offers, confirmations of
orders, notifications, reminders and even registered mail with advice of
receipt. The De-Mail Act, which came into force in May 2011, provides the
legal basis for this. This means that documents not only reach their
recipients faster, but the senders also save postage and processing costs
compared with paper-based mail services. ´We will provide detailed
information on this in the press conference at CeBIT´, says Mr Drechsler in
conclusion. ´This is also the moment when the first De-Mails will finally
be sent.´

charge and non-binding at francotyp.de/de-mail.
