Texas DIR · Compliance
Vendor inventories. Access reviews. Incident response evidence.
Mandry Technology maps managed IT and cybersecurity controls to Texas DIR cybersecurity standards for municipalities, counties, special districts, and state-adjacent agencies in Texas. Managed IT, Cybersecurity, and Cloud operate under one accountable team with SOC 2 Type II discipline, producing vendor inventories, access reviews, incident response procedures, and security controls mapped to DIR expectations that reviewers actually inspect.

Context
Texas DIR cybersecurity standards expect continuous evidence: vendor inventories, access reviews, incident response procedures, and security controls mapped to state requirements. Policies assembled before audit season without ongoing maintenance do not survive scrutiny.
DIR reviewers expect vendor inventories, access reviews, and incident response procedures maintained continuously, not assembled when an audit is announced.
Documented vendor inventories, risk assessments, and access reviews mapped to Texas DIR expectations.
Periodic access reviews with documented results and remediation records are baseline DIR expectations.
IR runbooks with public notification timelines and ransomware coverage tuned for local government environments.
Controls and policies mapped to DIR standards, updated through the compliance program continuously.
Texas procurement processes expect vendors qualified through DIR contracts and documented security controls.
Primary Practices
Mandry operates five practices under one accountable team. These are the ones that map most directly to Texas DIR obligations and the evidence auditors request.
Help desk, endpoint and network management, and vCIO advisory built to produce asset inventories, change records, and access logs Texas DIR reviewers request.
Explore24/7 MDR and SOC monitoring, vulnerability management, and incident response with public notification timelines and ransomware coverage for government environments.
ExploreAzure migration, Microsoft 365 management, and hybrid cloud with DIR-aligned documentation and access controls preserved through migration.
ExploreIndustries
Mandry concentrates regulatory literacy in four headline verticals, plus regulated mid-market organizations. These industries map most directly to Texas DIR obligations.
Comparison
The difference shows up when an audit, breach, or carrier renewal forces you to produce evidence, not when everything is running smoothly.
| When it matters | Generic regional MSP | Mandry |
|---|---|---|
| TX-RAMP cloud migration | Lift-and-shift with no data-class mapping or updated certification evidence | Data-class mapping before cutover, hybrid architecture where required, continuous TX-RAMP documentation |
| Texas DIR audit documentation | Policies assembled before audit season with incomplete vendor inventories | Continuous evidence binders, vendor management records, and DIR-aligned documentation |
| Ransomware response for municipalities | Ticket closed at end of business; notification handled ad hoc | Documented IR runbooks with public notification timelines and forensic coordination |
| Procurement and vendor qualification | Generic MSP contract with no DIR or TX-RAMP qualification path | Engagement structured around Texas procurement expectations and certification evidence carriers request |
| After-hours government support | Business-hours help desk; on-call staff handle incidents alone | 24/7 SOC and help desk with documented escalation for continuity-critical systems |

Asset inventories, vendor management records, access review documentation, incident response procedures, and security controls mapped to DIR standards, maintained continuously through the compliance documentation program.
Texas DIR governs broader state and local government cybersecurity standards; TX-RAMP governs cloud vendor certification. Mandry maintains evidence binders that satisfy both audit and certification expectations.
Yes. Co-managed IT extends internal teams rather than replacing them. Mandry can operate SOC monitoring, help desk overflow, vCIO advisory, and compliance documentation while internal staff retain control of line-of-business applications.
Incident response follows documented runbooks with containment, forensic coordination, and public notification timelines aligned to state requirements and cyber insurance carrier expectations.
Mandry maintains documented security controls and evidence binders aligned to Texas procurement expectations, including DIR contract qualification paths and TX-RAMP certification documentation.
The right time to evaluate one is before the audit, before the breach, before the regulator's letter arrives.
