What CBQA Global does

CBQA Global (legally PT CBQA Global Indonesia) is a privately held certification, audit, training, and sustainability services firm headquartered in Cilandak, Jakarta, Indonesia. Founded in 2019, the company operates as a KAN-accredited personnel certification body under ISO/IEC 17024 and offers coverage across 29+ ISO and non-ISO standards, including ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO/IEC 27001, ISO 45001, ISO 50001, ISO 22301, ISO 37001, ISO/IEC 42001, ISCC, and SPEI, with certificates recognized in 100+ countries through mutual recognition frameworks. Its proprietary technology stack includes the CBQA Global Academy LMS for training delivery, the OneConnect readiness assessment portal, the Certificate Validation portal, digital badges aligned to ISO/IEC 17024, and a CPD tracking system for certified persons.

The firm's business model combines recurring revenue (ISO certification surveillance/renewal fees, CDPO annual membership and CPD monitoring fees) with project-based professional services revenue (ESG, IT, cybersecurity, and privacy audits, training programs delivered online/offline/self-learning, and sustainability services including GHG verification, ISCC, SPEI, and V-Mark verification marks). It serves 12+ vertical segments — with primary focus on cybersecurity/technology and financial services, and additional exposure to energy, manufacturing, agriculture, automotive, aerospace, healthcare, public services, construction, transportation, and chemicals. Pricing is quote-based, varies by organizational scope, and is sold through a consultative sales-led motion supported by a WhatsApp business line, email, web inquiry forms, and representative offices in Malaysia, UAE, and China.

Geographically, CBQA Global maintains wholly-owned and channel-partner presence in Indonesia (HQ), Malaysia, UAE, and China, and is recognized internationally in 100+ countries. Strategic positioning emphasizes "cybersecurity as core DNA" and sustainability integration, with notable moves including the June 2026 launch of the CDPO personnel certification tied to UU PDP, an AFTECH partnership targeting fintech cybersecurity, the addition of ISO/IEC 42001 (AI management) certification, and two TOP DIGITAL Awards received in December 2025.
