Managed Secureframe for Texas

Secureframe consultants for Texas companies: SOC 2, TDPSA and TX-RAMP

Truvo Cyber offers managed Secureframe to companies in Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, Austin and the rest of Texas, delivered by our consultants in the US and Canada. Texas buyers bring two requirements beyond SOC 2: the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act, and TX-RAMP for cloud services sold to state agencies and public universities. The full service is described on the managed Secureframe services page.

  • SOC 2 audit readiness inside the Secureframe account you own
  • TX-RAMP tracked in Secureframe, with SOC 2 evidence reused for the assessment
  • Texas Data Privacy and Security Act duties loaded as a custom framework
  • Breach response plan built to the Texas 30-day and 60-day deadlines

Texas privacy, breach and public-sector rules a Secureframe program should cover

Secureframe lists TX-RAMP as a supported framework. The Texas Data Privacy and Security Act (Bus. & Com. Code ch. 541) has no built-in framework, so we load its duties as a custom framework and map them to the SOC 2 controls you already run.

Texas Data Privacy and Security Act (TDPSA)

  • Who it covers: in force since July 1, 2024, it applies to any business that operates in Texas or offers a product or service Texas residents use, processes or sells personal data, and is not a small business under SBA rules. There is no consumer-count threshold. Small businesses still need consent before selling sensitive data.

  • Assessments: controllers must document a data protection assessment for targeted advertising, selling personal data, profiling with foreseeable risk, processing sensitive data and other higher-risk processing (§541.105).

  • Processor contracts: processors must sign a contract with processing instructions and confidentiality duties, and must cooperate with the controller's reasonable assessments or arrange an independent assessment against an accepted control framework, with the report given to the controller on request (§541.104).

  • Enforcement: the Attorney General enforces the act exclusively, with a 30-day cure period and civil penalties of up to $7,500 per violation. There is no private right of action.

TX-RAMP and breach notification

  • TX-RAMP: cloud services sold to Texas state agencies, public universities and public community colleges need TX-RAMP certification: Level 1 for public or low-impact systems, Level 2 for confidential or regulated data. DIR accepts FedRAMP and StateRAMP authorizations, and a SOC 2 Type II or ISO 27001 report can qualify a vendor for its Fast Track Assessment.

  • Breach notice to residents: Bus. & Com. Code §521.053 requires notice to affected individuals without unreasonable delay and no later than 60 days after the breach is determined.

  • Breach notice to the Attorney General: required no later than 30 days after the breach is determined when 250 or more Texas residents are affected, filed through the Attorney General's online form.

  • Vendors: a business holding data it does not own must notify the data owner immediately after discovering a breach.

TX-RAMP evidence package

TX-RAMP controls tracked in Secureframe and mapped to your SOC 2 evidence, so the assessment questionnaire is answered from controls that already work.

TDPSA custom framework

The act's controller and processor duties loaded as a custom framework, with data protection assessments drafted and processor contract terms checked.

Weekly failing-test follow-up

Failing tests and integration errors triaged each week, with control owners chased until the evidence is in place and a short status report every Friday.

Trust center and questionnaires

Your Secureframe trust center published with the SOC 2 report behind an NDA request, and Texas customer questionnaires answered from your controls.

How managed Secureframe works for a Texas company: Assess, Build, Operate

The same security lead stays with you through each audit cycle.

01

Assess

Review your Secureframe account, confirm whether you sell to Texas public-sector buyers (TX-RAMP) and whether you act as a TDPSA controller, processor or both. Output: a gap list with owners and dates.

02

Build

Connect missing integrations, enable TX-RAMP and the TDPSA custom framework, close SOC 2 gaps with your engineers and publish the trust center.

03

Operate

Monitor Secureframe each business day, keep TX-RAMP evidence current for recertification, answer customer assessment requests and manage each annual SOC 2 audit.

What changes in the first 90 days of managed Secureframe in Texas

State procurement has an answer

When a Texas agency or public university asks for TX-RAMP, the evidence is already organized in Secureframe.

One program covers SOC 2 and TDPSA

Privacy duties and security controls share evidence in one account, so a customer's privacy review and a SOC 2 audit use the same records.

Breach deadlines are written down

The incident response plan names who files the Attorney General notice and when.

The audit has a date

The SOC 2 audit window is booked against a readiness plan, and evidence builds through the period.

Who managed Secureframe in Texas suits

If another option suits you better, we tell you on the strategy call.

Good fit if any of these apply

  • Your company pays for Secureframe and needs it audit-ready

  • A Texas agency or public university asked you for TX-RAMP

  • Texas customers ask for SOC 2 or processor assessment evidence

Better fit elsewhere

  • You need consultants on site in Texas

  • Your top priority is the lowest price

Questions about Secureframe consulting in Texas

They answer different buyers. TX-RAMP is required for cloud services sold to Texas state agencies, public universities and public community colleges. SOC 2 is what private customers usually ask for. Many companies need both, and DIR's Fast Track Assessment lets a vendor with a SOC 2 Type II or ISO 27001 report use it to speed up TX-RAMP certification.

Yes. Secureframe lists TX-RAMP as a supported framework, alongside SOC 2, ISO 27001 and GovRAMP, and maps shared controls across them. We enable it, map it to your SOC 2 evidence and keep it current for recertification.

It applies to a business that operates in Texas or offers a product or service Texas residents use, processes or sells personal data, and is not a small business under SBA rules. Unlike many state privacy laws, it has no minimum number of consumers. Exemptions include GLBA financial institutions, HIPAA covered entities and business associates, nonprofits and higher education.

It helps on the processor side. §541.104 lets a processor arrange an independent assessment against an accepted control framework and give the report to the controller on request, and a SOC 2 report from an independent CPA firm is a common way to do that. Controller duties such as data protection assessments and consumer rights requests need their own work, which we track in the TDPSA custom framework.

Yes. Truvo Cyber has Secureframe consultants in the US and Canada. Secureframe, your integrations, TX-RAMP submissions and the audit firm's fieldwork all work online, and your security lead meets your team by video on a schedule set at kickoff.
