Texas DIR Codifies GovRAMP-TX-RAMP Reciprocity
The policy update means cloud vendors can satisfy state requirements with a single GovRAMP credential, but DIR notification is still mandatory and the recognition doesn't flow both ways.
Texas DIR has updated the TX-RAMP Program Manual to formally recognize GovRAMP authorizations and the Progressing Security Snapshot Program as meeting state cloud security requirements. GovRAMP Ready or Authorized products now receive automatic TX-RAMP certification via a weekly automated sync. Products in the Progressing Snapshot Program qualify for TX-RAMP Provisional without the standard 18-month expiration. A one-time Security Snapshot also qualifies but carries the 18-month cap. DIR still requires a TX-RAMP Request Form, and the reciprocity is one-directional: TX-RAMP certification doesn't confer GovRAMP standing.
