Frequently Asked Questions

What is TX-RAMP?

TX-RAMP is the Texas Risk and Authorization Management Program, administered by the Texas Department of Information Resources. It requires cloud service providers to obtain security authorization before contracting with Texas state agencies for cloud services.

What are the TX-RAMP authorization levels?

Level 1 applies to cloud services with a low impact classification. Level 2 applies to moderate impact services, similar to FedRAMP Moderate. Level 2 requires a third-party assessment while Level 1 can be self-attested with certain conditions.

Do we need TX-RAMP if we already have FedRAMP?

FedRAMP Moderate authorization can expedite the TX-RAMP Level 2 process through a reciprocity path. We help organizations leverage existing FedRAMP investments to achieve TX-RAMP authorization more efficiently.
