Bridging the Gap Between Small Business and Cybersecurity.
Legacy Core isn't another cybersecurity vendor. We're building the ecosystem that connects small businesses, proven security frameworks, and trusted service partners — with a publicly verifiable credential at the center.
Small Businesses Have Always Been Left Out.
Enterprises have SOC 2. Government contractors have CMMC. Healthcare has HIPAA. But the restaurant, the daycare, the accounting firm, the auto body shop — businesses that handle customer data every day — have had no accessible, verifiable standard to hold themselves accountable to.
Legacy Core was built to change that. Not by creating another cybersecurity product. By creating the infrastructure that was always missing — a credentialing system built on established frameworks, delivered in plain English, verified publicly, and supported by a network of partners who help businesses implement what they learn.
"The goal was never to sell cybersecurity. The goal was to build the trust infrastructure that small businesses never had access to — and give their customers a way to verify it."
Three Pillars. One Standard.
Legacy Core connects three groups that have never had shared infrastructure — around a single, publicly verifiable credential.
Grounded in Recognized Frameworks.
Legacy Core doesn't invent its own standards. Our program is informed by the same frameworks enterprise security teams and federal agencies use — translated for small business application.
NIST Cybersecurity Framework
The most widely adopted U.S. cybersecurity framework. Our pathway maps to the CSF's core functions: Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover.
CIS Critical Security Controls
We draw from Implementation Group 1 controls — designed specifically for small and medium businesses with limited IT resources.
FTC Safeguards Rule
Our program helps businesses build practices aligned with FTC Safeguards requirements — especially relevant for financial service providers and accountants.
California Consumer Privacy Act
We build the data handling practices and documentation that support CCPA compliance — without requiring a legal team to navigate it.
Built by Someone Who Understands Both Worlds.
Christopher Green built Legacy Core from a simple observation: small businesses are told constantly that cybersecurity matters, but given no practical, accessible, or affordable pathway to act on it — and no way to prove to their customers that they have.
His background spans business operations, team leadership, and process improvement across multiple industries — giving him a business-first lens on a problem the cybersecurity industry has traditionally approached from a technical angle.
Legacy Core is his answer to the question every small business owner faces: "How do I actually protect my business — and how do I prove it?" The credential is the answer. The Inland Empire is where it starts.
