Integrated Management Systems

Overview

Our Integrated Management System (IMS) consultancy services support organisations in combining multiple ISO management systems into a single, coherent, and effective framework that reflects how the organisation actually operates.

CCIS works closely with organisations to integrate standards such as ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, ISO/IEC 27001, and others into one management system, reducing duplication, improving clarity for staff, and strengthening overall system effectiveness.

What is an Integrated Management System?

An Integrated Management System (IMS) combines the requirements of two or more ISO management system standards into a single management framework.

Instead of maintaining separate systems, documents, and processes for each standard, an IMS aligns common elements such as leadership, risk management, operational control, performance evaluation, and continual improvement. This allows organisations to manage quality, environmental, safety, information security, and other requirements in a consistent and coordinated manner across the organisation.

Benefits of IMS

Implementing an Integrated Management System helps organisations improve efficiency and consistency while reducing administrative burden.

Organisations benefit from simplified documentation, clearer ownership of processes, and better visibility of risks and performance across different disciplines. An IMS also supports smoother audits, improved resource utilisation, and stronger alignment between management system objectives and overall business goals, making systems easier to maintain as the organisation grows or adopts additional standards.

Our Consultancy Approach

At CCIS, we provide practical and structured consultancy services tailored to your organisation’s size, industry, and operational context.

Our consultancy covers the full lifecycle of implementation, including an initial gap analysis to understand existing management systems, support for integrated system design and documentation, guidance on implementation and record‑keeping processes, practical training and awareness for relevant personnel, internal audit support, and assistance in preparing for certification or assessment.

We continue to support organisations beyond certification to help ensure management systems remain effective, compliant, and audit‑ready as business needs and requirements evolve. Our focus is on effective implementation and long‑term sustainability, not documentation created solely for audit purposes.

Why Choose CCIS?

CCIS is an established ISO consultancy firm with a long‑term focus on building practical and sustainable management systems. Our approach emphasises real‑world implementation, strong project control, and ongoing support-helping organisations achieve certification with systems they can confidently maintain over time.

• Established ISO consultancy firm since 1992, with over 30 years of experience
• Practical “write what you do, do what you write” implementation approach
• Strong project management to ensure on‑time certification

Ongoing After‑Sales Support & Maintenance

Certification is not the end of the journey. As business needs, regulatory expectations, and organisational scope evolve, ongoing support is essential to ensure management systems remain effective and relevant.

Our after‑sales support helps organisations maintain compliance, effectiveness, and audit readiness over time. This includes support for surveillance and re‑certification audits, assistance in addressing audit findings and corrective actions, updates to management systems when business processes or scope change, and ongoing advisory support to drive continual improvement.

We work with organisations as a long‑term partner, supporting the sustainability of management systems beyond initial certification rather than providing one‑off consultancy.
