At HID, trust is the foundation of everything we do. That’s why we’re proud to announce that HID Public Key Infrastructure as a Service (PKIaaS) is now officially TX-RAMP certified — a significant achievement that reinforces our commitment to delivering secure, compliant and reliable cloud-based PKI Services and Certificate Lifecycle Management (CLM) to the public sector in Texas.
What Is TX-RAMP and Why It Matters
The Texas Risk and Authorization Management Program (TX-RAMP), established by the Texas Department of Information Resources (DIR), sets a standardized approach for assessing the security of cloud services used by Texas state agencies and institutions of higher education. Modeled after FedRAMP and GovRAMP, TX-RAMP is tailored to meet the unique regulatory and cybersecurity needs of the Lone Star State.
TX-RAMP certification is more than a checkbox — it’s a mandatory requirement for any cloud service provider looking to do business with Texas public sector entities. It ensures that vendors meet stringent NIST 800-53-based security controls, undergo continuous monitoring, and demonstrate a proactive approach to protecting sensitive government data, in accordance with Texas government compliance mandates.
What This Means for HID PKIaaS Customers
