Global Vision Technologies' FAMCare Software Achieves TX-RAMP Level 2 Certification

Global Vision Technologies (GVT) has announced that its FAMCare human services software platform has achieved TX-RAMP Level 2 Certification, marking a significant milestone in data security for cloud computing services used by Texas state agencies and educational institutions.

The Texas Risk and Authorization Management Program (TX-RAMP) was established following the passage of Texas Senate Bill 475. This program mandates the Texas Department of Information Resources (DIR) to implement a standardized approach for security assessment, authorization, and continuous monitoring of cloud computing services that process data for state agencies, including institutions of higher education and public colleges.

GVT's FAMCare platform, a proprietary case management solution, incorporates several built-in security controls designed to maintain data security and privacy. George Ritacco, VP of Client Services at GVT, emphasized the company's commitment to information protection, stating, "Data security is always a top priority for GVT and this achievement, along with GVT's SOC II TYPE 2 certification and our long standing HIPAA compliance is a demonstration of our commitment to information protection."

The significance of this certification is underscored by the sensitive nature of the data managed by GVT's client agencies. These include organizations handling information for critical populations such as juvenile justice, child welfare, long-term elderly care, and patient healthcare. The FAMCare software solution is built on GVT's proprietary development platform, Visions Server, which serves as the foundation for all of their products.

The Visions Server platform is notable for its innovative approach, allowing for rapid form and workflow development while simultaneously mitigating risks associated with programming systems from the ground up. This capability is particularly crucial in the context of handling sensitive data for vulnerable populations.

In addition to the TX-RAMP Level 2 Certification, FAMCare has also maintained its SOC II Type 2 certification and HIPAA compliance. These certifications collectively demonstrate GVT's comprehensive approach to data security and privacy, which is essential in the health and human services sector.

The achievement of TX-RAMP Level 2 Certification positions GVT's FAMCare software as a compliant and secure option for Texas state agencies and educational institutions seeking cloud-based case management solutions. This certification is likely to instill greater confidence among current and potential clients in Texas, particularly those handling sensitive data in the public sector.

For organizations in Texas that are required to comply with TX-RAMP regulations, GVT's certification provides assurance that FAMCare meets the stringent security standards set by the state. This compliance can streamline the procurement process for agencies looking to adopt or upgrade their case management systems.

As data security concerns continue to grow across all sectors, certifications like TX-RAMP Level 2 are becoming increasingly important. They not only demonstrate a company's commitment to data protection but also provide a competitive edge in the market for cloud-based services in government and educational sectors.

GVT's achievement in securing this certification reflects the evolving landscape of data security regulations and the growing emphasis on protecting sensitive information, particularly in cloud-based systems used by public institutions. As more states consider implementing similar programs, GVT's proactive approach to compliance may serve as a model for other software providers in the health and human services sector.
