Public-tier claims with issuer citations; registry verification pending.

Certifications are held by individuals, never organizations. Org-level status below is a DERIVED rollup of named holders, the org claims nothing its holders do not hold. Issuer directories (GIAC, (ISC)², ISACA) list individual certificate holders with expiration dates, registry lookups resolve at the named-holder level and require no carrier data.
