That your business has completed a foundational readiness review and is listed in the Public Business Trust Registry. The Trust Badge links to a live verification page so clients can confirm status in seconds — without taking your word for it.
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.
