CBS-1 Ride-hailing & Mobility Booking

Introduction

Grab Indonesia’s CBS-1: Ride-Hailing & Mobility Booking represents one of the organisation’s most vital services, connecting millions of passengers with drivers across multiple vehicle types, including cars, motorbikes, and taxis.

This service is a cornerstone of Grab’s operational model, generating revenue, enabling financial inclusion, and supporting urban mobility.

Any disruption to this critical business service can significantly impact customer trust, driver-partner livelihoods, and regulatory compliance.

To manage operational resilience effectively, CBS-1 is broken down into detailed business processes, or sub-CBS, each of which must be mapped, assessed, and protected to ensure continuity under adverse conditions.
