Small Business Trust Credentialing
Built for real small businesses, and the people who ask them to prove it.
Legacy Core gives small businesses a clear pathway to demonstrate their commitment to protecting customer information. A Trust Badge lets customers, partners, and others verify that commitment through the public registry.
The Trust Check is a self-reported starting point. It does not test your systems or issue a Trust Badge.

Real businesses. Real communities.
Legacy Core was created for the businesses that customers trust with information every day, and for the communities, partners, and organizations helping those businesses take the next step.
Photos below are illustrative placeholders, not Legacy Core customers or events.
Everyday work
Most owners are not looking for a cybersecurity dashboard. They want a clear path, plain language, and something customers can verify when it matters.

Helping business owners turn cybersecurity awareness into something customers can see.
At the counter
Built for the shops and offices where customers already show up.
The work
Readiness is ordinary desk work, written so an owner can follow it.
Verification
A public record someone can look up. This picture is not the Legacy Core screen.
The signal
A mark only helps when the record behind it can be checked.
The Trust Badge
The Legacy Core Trust Badge is connected to a public credential record. Customers, partners, and other stakeholders can verify a participating business's current credential status instead of relying only on a claim or logo.
A public status page lists the business, credential tier, issue and expiration dates, and whether the credential is current. It does not claim the business is free of security weaknesses.

Legacy Core provides the credentialing and verification layer. Alliance Partners can support businesses with implementation and services when needed. The public registry makes the resulting credential visible and verifiable.
Not every business works with a partner. Alliance Partners do not issue Legacy Core credentials.

Inside credentialing
Six missions cover the 15 required areas. A mission opens with a scene from a normal business day. You read it, see a careful response, and get a plain rule.
The screen here plays on its own. Nothing in it can be selected. It is not the Trust Audit, and it does not issue a Trust Badge.
Preview of the credentialing screen. Six missions cover 15 required areas. Sample scene: Urgent banking change. The careful response is to call the client on a number already on file. Rule: Never change banking or wire instructions from an email or text alone. Confirm with a known contact using a number or channel you already trust. This preview cannot be used and does not start an assessment.
