How GovRAMP Helps Providers Fulfill TX-RAMP Compliance

In June 2021, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed a new cybersecurity law. The law and updated policies enacted by the Department of Information Resources (DIR) requires cloud vendors doing business with the State of Texas to be GovRAMP, FedRAMP, or TX-RAMP certified. 

GovRAMP satisfies TX-RAMP requirements, with full reciprocity granted from TX-RAMP. If you are GovRAMP Ready or Authorized, you are automatically granted TX-RAMP certification. GovRAMP has a weekly automated sync, and every Friday afternoon, GovRAMP Authorized Products appear on the TX-RAMP list with ease. 

GovRAMP provides an efficient, reusable certification that applies in Texas and across our rapidly expanding list of participating governments.
