    We are looking into one of USPS APIs and I am not sure where to go for diligence.  Has anyone successfully been able to review USPS?  If not, do you exclude them from your policy? How do you handle integrations?

    Personally, I would classify the US Post Office as a regulated vendor, and as such, not be involved in a regular review.

    There isn't a whole lot of NPI, most likely. Two basic choices – exclude completely, or create a category that includes them, but doesn't require any recurring diligence activity, so it shows that you recognize the Vendor, but that you won't/can't pursue the more standard tasks, because of its federal status [ or whatever fits your internal policy ].
