The Texas Risk and Authorization Management Program (TX-RAMP) becomes mandatory today, requiring cloud computing services used by Texas state agencies to be certified.
Key points
- TX-RAMP certification is required under Texas Government Code §2054.0593.
- Certification levels are based on the sensitivity of data processed.
- Services with FedRAMP authorisation may use a streamlined route.
- Provisional certification is available during transition.
UK cloud and SaaS providers selling to Texas state bodies, including universities, should plan for TX-RAMP assessment alongside other certifications such as ISO/IEC 27001.
