The biggest false-positive trap in this library

**Citation is an ISO certification body and consultancy — the ISO content on its site is what it sells, not what it holds.** Citation’s website is dense with ISO 9001, 14001, 45001, 45003, 27001, 50001, 22301 and Cyber Essentials material, but these are services delivered through its subsidiaries Citation ISO Certification (formerly QMS) and Citation Cyber.

Citation’s own privacy notice makes **no claim** that Citation Limited holds ISO 27001 or Cyber Essentials. Any ISO badge on citation.co.uk should be assumed to relate to its service offering unless a certificate naming Citation Limited as holder is produced.

Footer badges (RoSPA, CPD, Sunday Times Best Places to Work) are memberships and awards, not certifications.
