TX-RAMP certified HID PKIaaS for secure management

21 Nov 2025

HID has attained the Texas Risk and Authorisation Management Program (TX-RAMP) certification for its Public Key Infrastructure as a Service (PKIaaS) solution, marking a significant milestone in its identity solutions offerings.

This certification affirms HID's adherence to stringent cybersecurity standards and facilitates Texas state and local governments in engaging with authorised providers for secure, cloud-based certificate lifecycle management, ensuring swifter processes and reduced administrative requirements.

TX-RAMP certification benefits

The TX-RAMP endorsement ensures that HID's PKIaaS aligns with the rigorous cybersecurity criteria established by the State of Texas for handling sensitive governmental data.

This approval simplifies procurement for agencies, municipalities, school districts, and other public sector entities within Texas looking to enhance and secure their digital identity frameworks with automated, cloud-based solutions, without the need for each agency to conduct extensive individual security evaluations.

Importance of compliant certificate management

Digital certificates are crucial for secure Internet touch, enabling TLS/SSL encryption that safeguards websites

Digital certificates are crucial for secure Internet communication, enabling TLS/SSL encryption that safeguards websites, online transactions, and sensitive information.

Manual management of these protocols presents challenges, as expired certificates can lead to system outages, security vulnerabilities, financial losses, and diminished public trust.

The HID PKIaaS solution addresses this by automating the management of digital certificates — covering issuance, renewal, and revocation — to maintain continuous compliance and system uptime, alongside robust security controls necessary for safeguarding citizens' sensitive data.

Global trust and interoperability

Recognised as a globally trusted Certificate Authority, HID facilitates seamless automated management of IdenTrust certificates within PKIaaS.

This availability from a globally trusted source ensures immediate trust and compatibility across major platforms and devices, enhancing ease of use for end-users.

HID, a pioneer in trusted identity solutions, has achieved Texas Risk and Authorisation 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 modernise 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.
