Alliance Partners
Help the businesses you serve earn something verifiable.
Legacy Core™ runs a marketplace partner program. Credentialed businesses pick Alliance Partners from a public directory. No exclusive territories.
For MSPs
The owner still needs something to show.
An MSP can put the tools in place. The owner still gets asked, in ordinary language, how the business handles client information. The technical work can be done, and the owner still has nothing a customer can check.
Legacy Core gives that owner a credentialing pathway in plain language. The MSP keeps the technical work: implementation, documentation, and evidence.
Partners provide services and evidence. Legacy Core decides whether a Trust Badge is issued. Buying MSP work does not issue one.
Alliance Partners
Trusted specialists for the next step.
Legacy Core helps businesses understand and demonstrate their readiness. When specialized help is needed, businesses can connect with independent Alliance Partners for implementation, insurance, technology, and other professional services.

Why partner with Legacy Core
A Trust Credential your clients can actually earn.
Most cybersecurity offerings for small business are vague, expensive, or both. Legacy Core gives you a concrete credential to point at and a Public Business Trust Registry that holds credentialed businesses accountable.
A trusted credential to point to
Give the small businesses you serve a credentialing pathway they can actually finish, and a Trust Badge their clients can verify.
Visibility in the Alliance Partner Directory
Credentialed businesses choose Alliance Partners from a directory. Better partners surface naturally over time.
Support the businesses you serve
Give clients a credentialing pathway they can finish and a Trust Badge their customers can verify. Legacy Core determines whether a Trust Badge has been earned.

Who does what
How the ecosystem works after credentialing.
Implementation providers help businesses improve. Legacy Core determines whether the credential has been earned. Partners do not award the badge.
- 1
Business
Understands readiness, completes the credentialing pathway, implements improvements where needed, and supplies required information and evidence.
- 2
Legacy Core
Maintains the credentialing pathway and credential standard, reviews the application, determines credential status, and issues the Trust Badge when requirements are met.
- 3
Alliance Partners and qualified providers
Businesses may choose qualified implementation providers freely. Silver and Gold implementation evidence must be submitted through a verified, approved Alliance Partner company assigned to the business. An authorized Legacy Core human reviewer must accept the evidence and approve the credential. Partners cannot award credentials. Partner attestation is not independent review.
- 4
Customers and credential readers
Use the Public Business Trust Registry to check status and understand the recorded scope. Each customer or organization decides whether it meets their needs.
Implementation is separate from credentialing. See Alliance Partners · Governance · Discuss an evidence-review role
Implementation is separate from credentialing. Alliance Partners may implement security. They cannot purchase, guarantee, or self-award a Trust Badge.
Post-credential flow
After the badge: implementation is separate.
Businesses may choose implementation providers freely. Buying partner work does not guarantee a higher badge. Silver and Gold implementation evidence must be submitted through a verified, approved Alliance Partner company assigned to the business. An authorized Legacy Core human reviewer must accept the evidence and approve the credential. Partners cannot award credentials.
After credentialing
The business has documented the gaps
The readiness assessment and credentialing pathway give the business language for what clients, insurers, and partners expect, before anyone sells a service package.
Partner selection
They can choose from the Alliance Partner Directory
Businesses may choose implementation providers freely. Silver and Gold implementation evidence must be submitted through a verified, approved Alliance Partner company assigned to the business. An authorized Legacy Core human reviewer must accept the evidence and approve the credential. Partners cannot award credentials.
Implementation
Partners deliver the right work
MSSP, insurance, and advisory work can start with shared context: the business already has a credentialing pathway and a public trust signal, not a cold fear pitch.
Keep progressing
Partners help. Legacy Core still issues the credential.
Alliance Partners may continue helping the credentialed business strengthen readiness. They cannot purchase, guarantee, or self-award a Trust Badge.
The marketplace model
No exclusive territories. The directory rewards good work.
Credentialed businesses choose their Alliance Partner from a public directory. Partners earn visibility by producing good outcomes for the businesses they serve, not by claiming a region or paying for placement.
The same principle applies to credentials: Alliance Partners may implement security. Legacy Core determines whether the Legacy Core credential has been earned. Partners cannot purchase, guarantee, or self-award a Trust Badge.
Step 1
Introduce the credential
Share the Get Credentialed page with a small business you serve. The Trust Badge is what their clients can verify at the end of the pathway.
Step 2
Help them get started
Referral Partners introduce businesses to Legacy Core. Alliance Partners may help the business implement cybersecurity improvements. Legacy Core still reviews eligibility under the applicable credential standard.
Step 3
Client earns their credential
The business completes the credentialing pathway, passes review, and is listed in the Public Business Trust Registry with a verifiable Trust Badge.
Step 4
Stay in the ecosystem
Alliance Partners stay visible in the Partner Directory and may continue helping the credentialed business strengthen readiness. Badge decisions stay with Legacy Core.
Qualified security reviewers who want to evaluate evidence for Legacy Core can become a Verification Partner. We will discuss scope, evidence requirements, qualifications, and conflicts of interest. Appointment is not automatic.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between an Alliance Partner and a Referral Partner?
Referral Partners introduce small businesses to the Legacy Core credentialing pathway. Alliance Partners also appear in the Alliance Partner Directory, may help implement cybersecurity improvements, and may support Silver and Gold when evidence exists. Partners cannot award a Trust Badge.
Do partners get exclusive territory?
No. Legacy Core runs a marketplace model. There are no exclusive territories. Credentialed businesses choose their Alliance Partner from the directory. The advantage goes to partners who consistently produce good outcomes for their clients.
Can a partner attest to their own client’s Silver or Gold credential?
An Alliance Partner may support a Silver or Gold pathway when evidence exists. That attestation is not independent review if the partner implemented the work. Self-attestation by the business is never accepted, and a partner cannot guarantee or self-award the badge. Payment or partner membership does not guarantee approval. Legacy Core determines whether the credential has been earned.
Do businesses have to use an Alliance Partner to earn a credential?
Legacy Core does not require buying implementation services. You may choose implementation providers freely. For Silver and Gold, the evidence route is required: Silver and Gold implementation evidence must be submitted through a verified, approved Alliance Partner company assigned to the business. An authorized Legacy Core human reviewer must accept the evidence and approve the credential. Partners cannot award credentials.
Does Legacy Core compete with cybersecurity service providers?
No. Legacy Core issues reviewed Trust Credentials, not a managed service provider. The credentialing pathway produces a credential and a public registry listing. It does not deliver MSP, MSSP, or vCISO services. Cybersecurity service providers are first-class Alliance Partners.
Why would a business use an Alliance Partner after credentialing?
Legacy Core creates the trust signal. Implementation still requires specialists. Vetted Alliance Partners help businesses close remaining gaps and continue progressing toward stronger cybersecurity readiness.
How do I apply to become a partner?
Use the partner application form on this page. Tell us about your organization, the small businesses you serve, and whether you are interested in Referral Partner or Alliance Partner status. We respond within a few business days.
Trust should be verifiable.
The Alliance Partner Directory rewards work that produces credentialed outcomes, not territories or paid placement.
