TX-RAMP Compliance with BeyondTrust

The Texas Risk and Authorization Management Program (TX-RAMP) is a Texas Department of Information Resources (DIR) initiative that evaluates the security measures implemented by cloud products and services that transmit data to Texas state agencies.

The main objective of TX-RAMP is to simplify the cloud adoption process and bolster the security of our Privileged Remote Access and Remote Support products for Texas state agencies. This is accomplished by removing the redundancy of security assessments and ensuring that organizations purchase from authorized, secure vendors.

Furthermore, as of January 1, 2022, the Texas Government Code 2054.0593 requires agencies to contract only with vendors compliant with TX-RAMP.
