Who we are
MSCi is Management System Compliance Incorporation
Four letters are shared by unrelated organisations in other industries — index providers, software firms, trade bodies. None of them are us. If you are looking for management system consulting, this is a management system consultancy, and it is the whole of what we do.
En-route Perfection
Perfection as a direction of travel rather than a destination reached. A management system that was perfect on audit day and untouched afterwards is worth very little; one that improves every quarter is worth a great deal. The certificate marks a point on the route, not the end of it — which is why the work carries on through surveillance and recertification.
Trusted by
A selection of the organisations we have taken through certification.
Every organisation above started the same way you are starting: a requirement they had to meet and no certificate yet.
Our consulting services
From foundational ISO 9001 to specialised standards, we take you from gap analysis to a successful certification audit.
Quality Management
ISO 9001The foundation of every tender file, vendor registration and buyer audit.
Environmental Management
ISO 14001The integrated-management-system pillar for project contractors and facility services.
Occupational Health & Safety
ISO 45001A baseline requirement across energy, infrastructure and construction; integrates with 9001 and 14001 in one combined audit.
Information Security
ISO 27001For IT/ITES suppliers, cybersecurity requirements and financial-sector clients.
Food Safety
ISO 22000FSSC 22000HACCPFor food supply chains, processors and exporters under national food regulators.
Medical Devices
ISO 13485The quality system regulators and healthcare buyers expect of device manufacturers and importers.
Business Continuity
ISO 22301Resilience assurance that enterprise and banking clients increasingly audit for.
Anti-Bribery
ISO 37001Documented integrity controls for government procurement files and major contracts.
Data Protection & Privacy
ISO/IEC 27701GDPR, HIPAA and national data-protection programmes for organisations serving international clients.
Internal Audit & Training
Internal Audits and Gap AnalysisInternal audits, gap analysis, fire-safety audits and team training.
Industries we serve
Nine core sectors, one consistent methodology.
Why organisations choose MSCi
Specialist skills, not generalist advice
Consultants who have implemented these standards across sectors and know what auditors actually look for.
One integrated management system
ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001 in one system and one audit - less documentation, less disruption, lower cost.
Deadlines respected
Tender, registration and renewal deadlines drive our schedules; audit slots are planned around your project and kept.
Start to certificate
Gap analysis, documentation, implementation, training and audit-day support - one integrated engagement.
What our clients say
Every engagement above ended with an independent assessor, not with us. We prepare you for the audit; the certificate is granted by an accredited body, and that separation is what makes the preparation worth paying for.
Each of these letters was written after the audit was passed, not before it was booked. Tell us your deadline and we will tell you honestly what reaching it takes.
Our global presence
Certification is asked for by different people in every market. We publish for 23 of them, each with the standards that market actually accepts and the regions we cover there.
Middle East
Americas
Headquartered in Gurgaon, working across India
Our teams operate from Gurugram, New Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Noida, Punjab, Visakhapatnam. Delivery is onsite, remote or hybrid, so where you are changes the logistics rather than the method.
