Your business appears in the Public Business Trust Registry so others can confirm current credential status.

Bronze, then Silver, then Gold
Bronze is Baseline Readiness. Silver is Evidence-Verified Implementation. Gold is Ongoing Verified Readiness. Silver and Gold cannot be earned through self-attestation. Alliance Partners may help implement improvements and submit supporting evidence. Qualified external reviewers may evaluate evidence within their competence when appointed for that scope. Those relationships are being established. Payment, a referral relationship, or Alliance Partner membership does not guarantee approval. Legacy Core retains the credential decision. Completing the Journey does not automatically issue a Trust Badge — Legacy Core reviews first.

Earned tiers
Earned outcomes after documented implementation and review. You cannot buy them as upgrades, and you cannot self-attest. Alliance Partners may help implement improvements. Legacy Core retains the credential decision.
That your business completed the credentialing pathway, met Bronze requirements, and received Legacy Core approval. The Bronze Trust Badge is listed in the Public Business Trust Registry with a live verification link. Bronze is Baseline Readiness. It does not claim that every control has been technically verified.
Silver and Gold cannot be earned through self-attestation. Alliance Partners may help implement improvements and submit supporting evidence. A partner reviewing work it implemented is not an independent review. Qualified external reviewers may evaluate evidence when appointed. Those relationships are being established. Buying implementation work does not issue the badge. Contact us for registry renewal details.
No. Legacy Core does not require businesses to purchase cybersecurity implementation services or a specific security product to earn a credential. You may work with qualified providers of your choice. Providers may support readiness. Legacy Core determines whether the credential requirements have been met.
No. Legacy Core is not a regulator. 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.
Bronze credentialing is a one-time pathway. To stay listed on the Public Business Trust Registry, renewal is managed in the credentialed business portal. Contact us for current fees.
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.
The credentialing pathway is designed to bring your business to a readiness baseline. If the credential is not ready to issue, Legacy Core will tell you that more work is needed under the applicable credential standard.
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.
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.
Start Bronze credentialing when you are ready. A Trust Badge is issued only after review. Silver and Gold are earned later. Buying implementation work does not issue the badge.
