What is TX-RAMP?
TX-RAMP standardizes how Texas state agencies and public higher education institutions assess, authorize, and continuously monitor software, storage, infrastructure, and other cloud computing services.
With this compliance certification, Texas public sector entities can now use OutSystems to modernize legacy systems and build custom apps and AI agents with total confidence, backed by a security baseline verified directly by the State of Texas. This achievement builds on our momentum from earlier this year, when OutSystems achieved FedRAMP® authorization for U.S. federal agencies.
Together, these milestones reflect our relentless commitment to providing enterprise-grade security at every layer of government. Whether you are managing federal data compliance or adhering to state-level governance, OutSystems ensures your apps, agents, and workflows are available, dependable, and auditable.
To achieve TX-RAMP, OutSystems submitted thorough, independently verified assurance of the platform's security controls and integrity governance over the last year. It is a testament to the continuous work of our security, engineering, and compliance teams to safeguard customer data across every cloud deployment.
Why TX-RAMP matters: Accelerate procurement and modernization
Security is critical as agencies accelerate their legacy modernization initiatives. OutSystems TX-RAMP certification verifies that its agentic systems platform meets the most stringent security and compliance standards across the state of Texas, supporting state entities to modernize safely and efficiently.
Traditionally, security assessments can add time and complexity to cloud procurement. With TX-RAMP certification, eligible Texas agencies and public institutions can take advantage of the existing assessment of the certified cloud service, reducing the need to repeat that certification process. For IT leaders in the public sector, TX-RAMP certification helps reduce procurement friction and provides an assessed security foundation for digital modernization. And public sector teams can focus on delivering digital initiatives that improve services and operational efficiency, including:
- Citizen-facing services: Build accessible digital portals that simplify service delivery and improve constituent experiences.
- Workflow automation: Modernize legacy processes and replace manual work with secure, scalable digital workflows.
- AI agents and agentic systems: Build AI agents and agentic systems on a platform with a secure foundation, while maintaining appropriate controls over data, access, and AI-driven actions.
