Certification Partner Global

What Certification Partner Global does

Certification Partner Global (CPG) is a Dubai-headquartered, Australian-owned certification body operating as a private FZ LLC entity. Founded in 1995 as International Standards Certifications and rebranded to its current name in 2018, the company provides independent third-party management system certification, auditing, training, and gap analysis services against international ISO standards and specialized accreditation frameworks. Its certification scope spans Quality Management, Environmental Management, Occupational Health and Safety, Information Security, IT Service Management, Business Continuity, Privacy Information Management, Artificial Intelligence Management, Medical Devices Quality Management, CSA Star, HIPAA, FSSC 22000, and Food Safety/HACCP. Additional specialized offerings include NDIS, NSDS, NDAP, DEAIP, and NPA certification for human services providers, as well as NSQHS and RTAC accreditation for healthcare organizations.

The company operates across six global regions — Africa, Middle East, Asia, Europe, the Americas, and Oceania — covering over 40 countries. CPG generates revenue through professional services fees for certification audits, standalone auditing engagements, structured gap analysis assessments, and training courses covering all scheme areas. The go-to-market model is sales-led and relationship-based, relying on direct enterprise outreach, an enquiry-based website funnel, and organic content marketing. The company is led by founder Tony Wilde (President/Group Chairman), who brings over 50 years of experience in quality management systems and was responsible for establishing Australia's first Quality System Certification Program (1985-1995).

CPG maintains a lean team of approximately 25 employees with no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, or external funding. Its competitive positioning rests on the founder's deep credentials (Registered Lead Assessor since 1986), its accredited certification body status, and its nearly three-decade operating history across diverse geographies and verticals. The business model is characteristic of boutique professional services firms — high-touch, bespoke engagements with enterprise and government clients seeking recognized credentials for market access and regulatory compliance.

Broad incumbents

• DNV: International accredited certification body offering ISO management system certification, particularly strong in maritime, energy, and healthcare. DNV's NSQHS-equivalent accreditations make it a direct competitor to CPG's healthcare certification practice.
• SGS: Global testing, inspection, and certification (TIC) giant offering ISO management system certification alongside a much broader portfolio. SGS competes directly with CPG in ISO certification while also serving enterprise clients across multiple service lines.
• Bureau Veritas: Global TIC leader offering ISO certification alongside marine, commodity, and infrastructure inspection services. Competes with CPG across ISO 9001/14001/45001/27001 certifications, particularly in emerging markets where CPG also operates.
• DEKRA: German-based TIC organization with significant ISO certification activity. Competes with CPG across management system certification, particularly in automotive, industrial, and information security verticals.
• Intertek: Global TIC provider offering ISO management system certification alongside product testing and assurance. Competes with CPG across the full ISO certification portfolio and across all six of CPG's operating regions.
• TÜV SÜD: Major German-based certification body providing ISO management system certification across quality, environmental, safety, and information security. A direct competitor in CPG's core schemes with much larger geographic and accreditation footprint.

Others

• JAS-ANZ (accreditation body reference): Joint Accreditation System of Australia and New Zealand — the accreditation body that licenses certification bodies operating in Australia and New Zealand. JAS-ANZ is the upstream gatekeeper that accredits CPG's NDIS and NSQHS-equivalent programs.

Direct peers

• BSI (British Standards Institution): The world's largest national standards body and ISO certification provider. BSI is a direct competitor offering the full range of ISO management system certifications across all sectors CPG serves, with materially greater scale and brand recognition.
• DQS: Mid-sized German-headquartered certification body offering ISO management system certification across multiple schemes. DQS is a comparable peer in size and structure to CPG, often competing in the same emerging-market and mid-market enterprise segments.
• LRQA (Lloyd's Register Quality Assurance): Specialized ISO certification body with strong heritage in quality management systems. LRQA competes directly with CPG across ISO 9001/14001/45001/27001 and offers comparable training and gap analysis services.
