ISO and GRC certification consulting in Surabaya

ISO and GRC certification in Surabaya at a glance

Surabaya's own city website calls it the centre of East Java's government and economy, and that economy shows up in several distinct places. Inside the city, the Rungkut industrial estate rents ready-built factories, small-industry units and warehouses, and runs a wastewater plant and a cyber security response team of its own. Along the waterfront, Pelindo's terminals at Tanjung Perak handle the freight behind the city's long trading history. Beyond the boundary, the Gresik special economic zone at JIIPE is organised around a deep-sea port for copper, chemicals, glass and renewable energy, while Juanda airport adds a domestic and an international terminal. Each setting raises different questions about quality, safety, environment, information security and continuity. National law and accreditation are covered on the Indonesia page. Sterling serves Surabaya from its Jakarta office, bringing 20+ years of experience, 8,100+ client engagements in 60+ countries, and Effivity and Sterling Academy with every engagement.

Surabaya is the capital of East Java, which the city government describes as the centre of the province's government and economy, and it has been an important port since Majapahit times. Its industry is spread across estate-based manufacturing in Rungkut, the Tanjung Perak port and container terminals, and the Gresik special economic zone next door.
