A short, non-technical baseline across everyday practices — passwords, phishing, devices, data protection, and incident preparedness.
The Trust Audit does not issue a credential. It is your starting point, not your finish line.
The Trust Gap
The distance between how secure you are and what you can prove — and why it matters for small businesses today.
Self-check
Check any that sound familiar. If two or more apply, you likely have a proof problem — not necessarily a technology problem. That is the Trust Gap.
Check at least two items to see your recommended next step.
What you are buying
Legacy Core issues a credential and Trust Badge — so when the security question comes, you have proof to point to, not another promise.
A structured pathway aligned with recognized frameworks — translated for non-technical owners who handle client data.
A public-facing badge linked to live verification — not a self-printed certificate or marketing logo.
Your business appears in the Public Business Trust Registry so partners can confirm status in seconds.
One link for email signatures, proposals, and intake forms — proof beats another verbal promise.
Why it matters now
Small businesses are increasingly being asked to show more than good intentions when it comes to cybersecurity. Customers, banks, insurers, and partners want clearer signals that a business has taken meaningful steps to reduce risk and build trust.
Customers, lenders, insurers, and regulators increasingly expect documented, verifiable cyber readiness. Legacy Core Trust Badges are visible signals of progress through a structured credentialing pathway — tied to live verification, not just a visual symbol.
Who this is for
CPAs, bookkeepers, attorneys, financial advisers, and insurance agencies handling sensitive client data.
Medical and dental practices that need to show clients and referral partners they take readiness seriously.
Owner-operators ready to close their Trust Gap with a verifiable credential, not another marketing claim.

The Legacy Core ecosystem
Credentialing makes readiness visible. Alliance Partners help close the gaps the assessment surfaced.
Start with the non-technical Trust Audit. See where your business stands across passwords, phishing, devices, data protection, and incident preparedness — before you buy anything.
Start the Free Trust AuditComplete 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.
Get credentialedSelect from the Alliance Partner Directory: established MSSPs, cyber insurance advisers, CPAs, and service providers vetted by Legacy Core — not a random vendor list.
See partnersBecause 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.
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.
Partner with usThat your business has completed Legacy Core's 15-module Bronze credentialing pathway and final assessment — listed in the Public Business Trust Registry with a Trust Badge linked to live verification. Bronze indicates awareness credentialing, not implemented controls.
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.
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.
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.
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 review flags gaps, you receive specific feedback and a path to address them before issuance.
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.
Pay once for Bronze. Earn Silver and Gold as your readiness matures.
