Management Systems Consultancy Services

Practical, hands-on support for organisations implementing, certifying or improving management systems against ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, ISO 27001, ISO 22301, ISO 44001, AS9100 and AS9145. Every engagement is led personally by Hillscom, drawing on more than 30 years of quality leadership across aerospace, defence, manufacturing, engineering, automotive and technology, with no off-the-shelf templates and no generic playbooks.

Management System Implementation

A new management system succeeds or fails on its foundations. Hillscom maps how your organisation works before writing any documentation, then builds a proportionate system, single standard or integrated, that your team will use to run the business rather than open only at audit time.

Certification Readiness & Gap Analysis

A clause-by-clause review against your target standard, benchmarked against what an assessor will look for, produces a prioritised action plan ranked by audit risk. Support continues through closing the gaps and a mock audit, so the certification audit confirms what you already know. This includes transition to ISO 9001:2026 and ISO 14001:2026.

Integrated Management Systems (IMS)

One structure for document control, internal audit, corrective action and management review, with standard-specific requirements kept distinct where they differ. Integration cuts duplicated effort, allows combined certification audits and gives assessors one consistent story.

Interim Management Support

Experienced cover as Interim Head of Quality, Quality Director or Mission Assurance lead during a recruitment gap, a certification push or a critical programme phase. Hillscom runs the function with real authority and hands it back in a stronger position.

AI-Assisted Delivery

Purpose-built AI workflows speed up documentation drafting, clause cross-referencing and audit evidence preparation. Every output is reviewed against implementation and audit experience, so engagements move faster without losing rigour.

Audit Support

Risk-based internal audit programmes, internal auditor training and independent audits where specialist knowledge or independence is needed. Findings are written to be acted on, with root causes identified and corrective action followed through.
