Procurement Card (PCard) Program
Beginning January 1, 2022, mandates that state agencies and Institutions of Higher Education must only enter or renew contracts to receive cloud computing services that comply with TX-RAMP requirements.
In the 87th Legislative Session, the Texas Legislature passed , requiring the Texas Department of Information Resources (DIR) to establish a state risk and authorization management program that provides “a standardized approach for security assessment, authorization, and continuous monitoring of cloud computing services that process the data of a state agency.”
To comply, DIR established a framework for collecting information about cloud services security and assessing compliance with required controls and documentation.
This may initially lead to a delay in the risk assessment process for cloud services while ²ÝÝ®´«Ã½¹ÙÍøÏÂÔØ works to get required certifications established.
