# USLege for State Agency CIOs & IT Directors | USLege > USLege gives state agency CIOs a governable AI platform: SOC 2 Type II and TX-RAMP certified, no training on your data, works in the AI tools staff already use. Canonical: https://www.uslege.ai/for/government-cios --- USLege for State Agency CIOs & IT Directors # USLege for _State Agency CIOs_ You are not tracking floor votes. You are governing technology risk: which vendors get access to agency data, whether a tool passes security review before anyone signs a contract, and how your agency proves it is using AI responsibly instead of chasing it. USLege is built to survive that review: SOC 2 Type II and TX-RAMP certified, never trained on your data, and delivered through an integration model your team can actually govern, not one more ungoverned app your staff found on their own. [Book the 3-Minute Demo](/demo) [Already under contract? See the buyout](/contract-buyout) Trusted by Fortune 500 teams, lobby firms, associations, law firms, and government The job ## The question stopped being "should we use AI." Now it is "who owns the risk." Your agency, or the agencies you support as a central IT office, are past the experimentation phase. Staff are already using AI tools, sanctioned or not, and your job is to turn that into a real governance, procurement, and inventory policy before an auditor or a legislator asks you to produce one. That means every new AI vendor lands on your desk with a security questionnaire attached, and every "quick pilot" a program area wants is actually a vendor risk decision you have to make stick. The volume makes it worse. Every division wants its own tool, which means duplicated spend, duplicated review cycles, and no shared record of what has already been vetted elsewhere in state government. Pricing is volatile and per-token, which makes budgeting for AI tools genuinely hard to defend to appropriators. And underneath all of it is a harder problem: most vendors pitching "AI" have bolted a label onto existing software, and telling a real AI product from a rebadged one is itself work nobody has time for. You need a vendor whose security posture you can verify in one pass and whose value is not a stretch to explain to your director.

We structure enterprise agreements around your agency's size, states, and budget cycle, and we put teams on the ground to build the specific integrations your agency needs, the same way we already do for agencies with 500-plus staff operating across multiple states. ◆ ### USLege Anywhere: bring your own AI tool, or use ours Instead of standing up and governing another standalone application, USLege Anywhere connects our legislative and regulatory data into the AI tools your agency has already reviewed and approved, like Claude or ChatGPT, through a secure integration layer. One vendor, one review, staff work in the tool they already know. Haven't standardized on a model yet? USLege's own built-in AI is included at no extra cost and never trains on your data, so you're covered either way. ◆ ### Multi-org governance with per-org access control Provision multiple divisions, boards, or programs under one umbrella, each with its own scoped state access, without giving every group its own separate contract or shadow deployment to track. ◆ ### Role-based access and membership audit Admin and member roles with a clear organization membership record, so you can see who has access, adjust it as staff change roles, and answer an access-review question without chasing down a spreadsheet. ◆ ### A trust posture built for your security questionnaire SOC 2 Type II certified, TX-RAMP certified, and we never train AI models on customer data. These are the three questions every procurement conversation opens with, answered before you have to ask. ◆ ### Org-wide notification governance Set delivery defaults and delivery-hour precision down to the timezone at the organization level, instead of leaving alert behavior to whatever each individual user happens to configure. ◆ ### Enterprise agreements, not per-seat billing Pricing is structured around your agency's size, states, and budget cycle, not a per-user rate card. USLege has also been selected among a competitive field for a Texas state-agency AI showcase, with direct conversations underway with the Texas Department of Information Resources. ◆ ### An integration partner, not just a subscription USLege runs teams that work directly with your agency to build the specific integrations and workflows you need on top of the platform, not instead of it. We already support agencies with 500-plus staff across multiple states, each with its own budgetary structure, so the engagement is built around how your agency actually buys and actually works, not a one-size-fits-all license. How USLege maps to your work ## Four things that change the day your _questionnaire_ lands. ⊹01 · Radar ### See the AI and tech policy bills before they reach your desk. Radar watches every bill and agency action touching AI governance, data privacy, procurement, and cybersecurity across all 50 states and Congress, organized by the divisions and programs you support. You see what is moving toward your agency's mandate the moment it is filed, not after legal forwards you a headline. [See Radar on the platform](/platform#radar) ✦02 · AI Briefings ### Ask a governed AI, not an ungoverned one. USLege's own AI answers plain-language questions grounded in actual bills, rules, and hearings, with a citation behind every claim, and it never trains on your data. Or connect it through USLege Anywhere to the model your agency has already approved, so staff get the same cited record inside a tool that already cleared review. [See AI Briefings](/platform#briefings) ◆03 · Multi-org governance ### Provision divisions the way you actually govern them. Set up multiple divisions, boards, or programs under one umbrella, each with its own scoped state access and admin roles, instead of tracking a separate contract or shadow deployment for every group that wants in. One dashboard shows who has access and lets you adjust it the moment a role changes. [See it on the platform](/platform) ⬚04 · Notification governance ### Set the delivery policy once, at the organization level. Configure delivery defaults and delivery-hour precision down to the timezone for the whole organization, instead of leaving alert behavior to whatever each individual staffer happens to set. Governance becomes a setting you control, not a policy you have to police after the fact. [See it on the platform](/platform) How it works for you ## From security questionnaire to governed rollout ### Your security and procurement team reviews the posture up front Send over your standard questionnaire. SOC 2 Type II, TX-RAMP, and a no-training-on-customer-data policy are documented facts, not promises made on a sales call, so the review moves fast instead of stalling in legal. ### Connect USLege into the AI tools your staff already use Through USLege Anywhere, legislative and regulatory data becomes available inside the AI tools you have already approved. No new app to onboard agency-wide, no separate login sprawl to audit later. ### Manage access, states, and notifications centrally As the CIO or IT owner, provision divisions, set role-based access, and control notification defaults for the whole organization, so governance is a setting you control, not a policy you have to police after the fact. Why they switched > Every division wanted its own AI tool, and I was the one who had to vet each one and explain the risk. What I needed was one vendor I could clear once, with governance built in, instead of chasing down five separate pilots and hoping none of them were a rebadged product with an AI sticker on it. IT Director at a state agency, overseeing technology procurement and security review across multiple divisions Questions ## What agency IT leaders ask before they switch Is USLege SOC 2 and TX-RAMP certified? + Yes. USLege is SOC 2 Type II certified and TX-RAMP certified, and we never train AI models on customer data. Those three facts are the starting point for most agency security reviews, and we are glad to work through your questionnaire directly. Does USLege train AI models on our data? + No. USLege never trains AI models on customer data. Your agency's usage, documents, and queries stay yours. How does USLege fit into our agency's AI governance policy? + USLege is built to be governed, not just used. Instead of another standalone app for staff to sign up for individually, USLege Anywhere brings our legislative and regulatory data into the AI tools your agency has already vetted and approved, such as Claude or ChatGPT, under one contract with one vendor, one security review, and centrally managed access rather than a dozen ungoverned logins. Can we procure USLege through a cooperative or existing state contract vehicle? + Yes. USLege is not sold per seat, and we do not run a self-serve rate card for agency-scale deployments. We structure an enterprise agreement around your agency's size, states, and budget cycle, the same way we already do for agencies with 500-plus staff operating across multiple states, each with its own budgetary structure. USLege has also been selected among a competitive field for a Texas state-agency AI showcase, alongside conversations with the Texas Department of Information Resources. Tell us your contract vehicle and how your budget is structured, and we will build the agreement around it. We're mid-contract with another vendor. Can we still switch? + Yes. Our Contract Buyout program helps your agency switch before your current contract ends, so you do not pay twice or wait out a renewal to get on a better, more governable platform.
