The Legacy Core ecosystem
After Bronze, vetted partners help you implement.
Credentialing makes readiness visible. Alliance Partners help close the gaps the assessment surfaced.
Step 1
Understand your risks
Start with the non-technical Readiness Assessment. See where your business stands across passwords, phishing, devices, data protection, and incident preparedness — before you buy anything.
Complete the credentialing pathway, pass Legacy Core review, and receive a Trust Badge listed in the Public Business Trust Registry — something clients can verify in seconds.
Select from the Alliance Partner Directory: established MSSPs, cyber insurance advisers, CPAs, and service providers vetted by Legacy Core — not a random vendor list.
Because the assessment and credential made the gaps visible, implementation conversations start with context — not fear-based upselling. Partners deliver MSSP, insurance, and advisory work that matches real readiness needs.
Step 5
Grow the ecosystem together
Alliance Partners earn referral compensation for businesses they introduce and support. Businesses progress toward Silver and Gold with partner attestation when evidence exists — building community trust infrastructure, not one-off transactions.
What does the Bronze credential signal to my clients?
That your business has completed a foundational readiness review and is listed in the Public Business Trust Registry. The Trust Badge links to a live verification page so clients can confirm status in seconds — without taking your word for it.
How are Silver and Gold earned?
Silver and Gold are never sold direct. They are earned either through Alliance Partner attestation with supporting evidence (free) or through independent third-party verification by a CISSP-credentialed reviewer or qualified MSSP. Self-attestation is never accepted.
Is Legacy Core a regulatory body?
No. Legacy Core is a private credentialing authority. The Trust Badge orients to recognized cybersecurity readiness frameworks such as NIST CSF and CIS Controls, and demonstrates a business’s commitment to readiness. It is not a government credential and does not imply any specific incident outcome.
How long is the Bronze credential valid?
Bronze is renewable annually with a continued readiness check-in. Renewal is available as an annual or monthly subscription and is managed inside the credentialed business portal.
Does the Trust Badge appear on the public registry immediately?
Your credential is issued once your readiness review is approved. The registry entry, Trust Badge, and verification URL go live at that moment and remain visible while your credential is in good standing.
What if my readiness review needs more work?
The credentialing pathway is designed to bring your business to a readiness baseline. If the review flags gaps, you receive specific feedback and a path to address them before issuance.
What information is public in the registry?
Only public-safe fields: business name, tier, credential status, area served, and verification slug. Owner contact, payment data, internal notes, and review history are never displayed publicly.
What is your refund policy?
See the published refund policy at the bottom of this site. In short: refunds are handled on a case-by-case basis prior to credential issuance and are not available after a Trust Badge has been issued.
