Issuer Info
Name, address, and contact details of the alarm company or authorized signatory who issues or certifies the monitoring service and can confirm the details if contacted.

The certificate serves both as a compliance artifact and as operational documentation; recipients use it to validate protection levels and to trigger underwriting or permitting decisions.
