HID, a pioneer in trusted identity solutions, has achieved Texas Risk and Authorization Management Program (TX-RAMP) certification for its Public Key Infrastructure as a Service (PKIaaS) solution.
This certification demonstrates HID’s commitment to cybersecurity excellence and enables Texas state and local government to confidently engage with approved, trusted providers to procure secure, cloud-based certificate lifecycle management services with faster timelines and reduced administrative burden.
TX-RAMP certification
The TX-RAMP certification validates that HID PKIaaS meets the State of Texas' strict rigorous cybersecurity standards for handling sensitive government data, helping to eliminate the need for individual agencies to conduct their own lengthy security assessments.
This approval removes procurement barriers for Texas agencies, municipalities, school districts and other public sector entities seeking to modernize and protect their digital identity infrastructure with automated, cloud-based certificate management.
Why compliant certificate management matters
Digital certificates are the foundation of secure communication on the Internet, enabling TLS/SSL encryption that protects websites, online transactions and sensitive data. However, managing these protocols manually is challenging, as an expired certificate can cause outages, expose vulnerabilities, and ultimately lead to financial loss and damaged public trust.
HID’s PKIaaS solution automates digital certificate management (issuance, renewal and revocation), ensuring continuous compliance and uptime, while maintaining the robust security controls required by government entities handling citizens’ sensitive data.
As a globally trusted Certificate Authority, HID also enables seamless automated management of IdenTrust certificates within PKIaaS. Certificates from a globally trusted authority provide instant trust and interoperability across major platforms and devices, simplifying the experience for users.
