BlueDAG wins TX-RAMP Level 1 certification for Texas public agencies

BlueDAG said its cloud-based accessibility platform earned Texas Risk and Authorization Management Program Level 1 certification, effective Aug. 4, 2026. The approval should make it easier for Texas public agencies to buy the software for ADA accessibility and compliance work.

Why it matters: - TX-RAMP certification is a procurement gate for Texas government entities buying cloud services. - BlueDAG’s Level 1 approval opens the door for more Texas state agencies, universities and other public entities to use the platform for ADA accessibility programs. - The certification removes a compliance barrier for agencies that need a cloud tool to manage accessibility work.

What happened: - BlueDAG announced that its cloud-based accessibility platform achieved TX-RAMP Level 1 Certification, effective Aug. 4, 2026. - The company is based in Rancho Cordova, California. - BlueDAG provides Americans with Disabilities Act compliance software and accessibility consulting services.

The details: - TX-RAMP is administered by the Texas Department of Information Resources. - The program sets a standardized framework for evaluating cloud security for Texas government entities. - Level 1 applies to cloud services that process, store or transmit nonconfidential agency data or data tied to low-impact information resources. - Certification means BlueDAG completed the applicable assessment process and met the security requirements for Level 1 cloud services. - Texas state agencies and other covered public entities must have the proper TX-RAMP certification before they can enter into or renew contracts for covered cloud services. - BlueDAG’s platform is used to conduct accessibility evaluations, document barriers, manage remediation efforts, develop ADA Self-Evaluations and Transition Plans, track progress and maintain accessibility data across facilities and programs. - BlueDAG also positions the platform as a way to centralize accessibility information, coordinate work across departments, prioritize corrective actions and create a record of ongoing accessibility efforts.

Between the lines: - The certification signals that BlueDAG is trying to move from a specialized accessibility vendor to a more broadly adoptable government software provider in Texas. - TX-RAMP approval also aligns BlueDAG with public-sector expectations for security and reliability, which can matter as agencies shift more operations into the cloud. - BlueDAG CSO Damon Brown said the certification should give Texas agencies greater confidence when selecting the platform for accessibility and ADA compliance programs.

What's next: - BlueDAG said the certification positions the company to expand partnerships with Texas public agencies. - The company expects to help organizations modernize how they assess, manage and improve accessibility across the state. - BlueDAG said it will continue investing in safeguards, processes and infrastructure to meet public-sector technology requirements.

The bottom line: - TX-RAMP Level 1 removes a key hurdle for BlueDAG in Texas and makes the platform more usable for public agencies that need both accessibility tools and approved cloud security.
