TX-RAMP · Compliance
Cloud vendor certification. Data-class mapping. Continuous evidence.
Mandry Technology maps cloud and cybersecurity controls to TX-RAMP certification expectations for Texas municipalities, counties, special districts, and state-adjacent agencies. Cloud and Cybersecurity operate under one accountable team with SOC 2 Type II discipline, producing data-class mapping, cloud security documentation, vendor oversight records, and access control evidence TX-RAMP reviewers actually inspect.

Context
TX-RAMP certification depends on documented cloud security controls, data residency boundaries, and vendor oversight that survive migration, not just a signed contract. A cloud move that collapses access boundaries or drops audit trails is both an operational risk and a certification finding.
Cloud migrations must preserve data-class boundaries and access controls through cutover. Lift-and-shift without mapping is a certification finding waiting to happen.
TX-RAMP reviewers expect cloud architecture diagrams, data flow documentation, and security posture reports maintained continuously.
Vendor oversight records and access control evidence must survive migration and platform changes without gaps.
Some workloads require hybrid architecture to preserve data residency and access boundaries TX-RAMP expects.
Texas procurement processes expect vendors qualified through TX-RAMP certification paths and documented security controls.
TX-RAMP and Texas DIR reviews often overlap. Evidence binders should satisfy both certification and audit expectations.
Primary Practices
Mandry operates five practices under one accountable team. These are the ones that map most directly to TX-RAMP obligations and the evidence auditors request.
Azure migration, Microsoft 365 management, and hybrid cloud architecture with data-class mapping before cutover and TX-RAMP documentation maintained continuously.
Explore24/7 MDR and SOC monitoring, vulnerability management, and incident response with cloud security posture documentation aligned to TX-RAMP expectations.
ExploreIndustries
Mandry concentrates regulatory literacy in four headline verticals, plus regulated mid-market organizations. These industries map most directly to TX-RAMP 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Cyber insurance renewals | Annual questionnaire scramble with incomplete evidence | Continuous attestation, vulnerability reports, and policy libraries ready for carrier review |
| 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 |

FAQ
A TX-RAMP-ready MSP delivers data-class mapping before migration, continuous cloud security documentation, vendor oversight records, and access control evidence that TX-RAMP reviewers can verify. At Mandry, these controls operate under SOC 2 Type II discipline across Cloud and Cybersecurity.
Mandry maps data classes before cutover, preserves access controls through hybrid architecture where required, and maintains cloud architecture diagrams, data flow documentation, and security posture reports continuously.
Cloud architecture diagrams, data flow documentation, access control evidence, vendor oversight records, cloud security posture reports, and evidence binders maintained continuously for TX-RAMP and Texas DIR reviews.
TX-RAMP governs cloud vendor certification; Texas DIR governs broader state and local government cybersecurity standards. Mandry maintains evidence binders that satisfy both certification and audit expectations.
Yes. Co-managed IT extends internal teams rather than replacing them. Mandry can operate cloud management, SOC monitoring, and compliance documentation while internal staff retain control of line-of-business applications.
Mandry's own SOC 2 Type II attestation evidences the operating discipline clients inherit. TX-RAMP reviewers and procurement evaluators can verify vendor security posture beyond policy documents.
The right time to evaluate one is before the audit, before the breach, before the regulator's letter arrives.
