The Standard

Trust Badge Tiers: Bronze, Silver, Gold

Three tiers. Each one earned. None given at signup.

⚠️
The Free Assessment Does Not Issue Any Badge.

It's a starting point. Each badge has defined requirements — program completion, partner-verified implementation, and sustained monitoring. Tiers must be earned in order.

Bronze
Awareness Level

Free assessment + all 14 Teachable modules completed. The assessment opens the door. Finishing the program earns the badge.

  • All 14 Teachable modules completed
  • Cyber hygiene fundamentals demonstrated
  • Public Registry listing — Active
  • Digital Trust Badge + Credential ID (LC-XXXXX)
  • QR code to live verification page
Silver
Action Level

Bronze required first. Work with a Legacy Core Partner to implement real security controls. Verified. Documented. Badge issued.

  • Active Bronze credential required
  • Implementation verified by a Legacy Core Partner
  • Security controls actively deployed

Gold
Maintain Level

Silver required first. Consistent, verified monitoring over time. Gold isn't a milestone — it's a commitment that doesn't stop.

  • Consistent security monitoring verified

  • Incident response planning in place
  • Vendor/supply chain risk addressed

A Note on Our Standard

"The assessment shows you where you stand. The program builds your foundation. The partner helps you act on it. Monitoring sustains it. That is what earns you the badge — not the assessment alone."

— Christopher Green, Founder, Legacy Core™
