LegisCert™ certification process

How to earn a record of verified transparency.

A LegisCert™ is earned through a defined, inspectable process: scope, analysis, citation, verification, disclosure, publication, and registry registration. The result is not a legal opinion. It is a credible record of how your organization mapped and disclosed its AI regulatory obligations.

The certification journey

Six stages. One public record.

The process is designed to give enterprise legal, privacy, security, and AI governance teams a disciplined path from AI deployment inventory to a verifiable LegisCert™ registry record.

01
Establish the boundary

Define the scope.

Begin with a known and bounded set of AI systems. The certification scope identifies the organization, applicable tools or deployments, intended use cases, business context, affected parties, jurisdictions, and relevant industry considerations before analysis begins.

02
Assess applicability

Analyze the deployment.

Review jurisdiction, industry, use case, data flows, impacted individuals, deployment model, and the organization's role in the AI ecosystem. These factors determine which regulations, guidance, and recognized frameworks may apply to the defined scope. Analysis is produced through the LegisGate™ engine.

03
Build the source record

Identify and cite obligations.

Applicable obligations are identified at the requirement level and cited to authoritative source material. Each citation is tied to the relevant regulation, statute, rule, guidance, framework, or official supervisory source so that the mapping can be inspected and traced.

04
Confirm integrity

Verify the citations.

Citations are reviewed for source fidelity, relevance to the stated scope, and traceability. LegisCert™ certification requires a record that can be verified to source rather than an untraceable or AI-authored assertion.

05
State the position

Disclose the organization's posture.

The organization states its position on each identified obligation. The goal is not to imply legal certainty or eliminate risk. It is to create an honest, complete, and transparent statement of how the organization mapped and addressed the regulatory landscape.

06
Create the public record

Publish, register, and renew.

The completed record is published in a standardized certification format, assigned a certificate ID, associated with an integrity reference, and entered into the public LegisCert™ registry. Certification is renewed on cadence or after a material change to the defined scope.

What LegisCert™ verifies

Certification confirms the process was done to standard.

LegisCert™ does not certify compliance, legal sufficiency, regulatory approval, or the absence of risk. It certifies that a defined regulatory transparency process was performed, verified, and publicly disclosed.

Scope was definedThe organization documented the AI systems, use cases, and conditions covered by the certification.
Applicable requirements were mappedThe record identifies regulatory and framework obligations relevant to the defined certification scope.
Citations were verified to sourceEach cited obligation can be traced to an authoritative regulatory, legal, or framework source.
The organization disclosed its positionThe organization provided a documented posture for the obligations identified in the certified mapping.
Two certification paths

Start with a deployment. Or certify an AI footprint.

Choose the path that reflects the decision you need to support today. Both paths follow the same LegisCert™ standards for source citation, verification, transparency, and public registry recording.

Product-scoped certification

Certify one defined AI tool or deployment.

Built for a specific AI system, vendor tool, workflow, or use case. This path creates a focused transparency record around a single product deployment or a tightly defined group of related systems.
