Implement management systems effectively and ensure their long-term success.
A management system should do more than simply fulfil requirements. It should stabilise processes, clarify responsibilities and support the organisation’s day-to-day operations.
TopQM-Systems supports organisations with the implementation, further development and certification preparation of ISO management systems – from the initial assessment and the development of process and documentation structures to internal audits and support during the certification audit.
Our ISO consulting services are tailored to your current situation, industry and specific requirements. Together, we develop a management system that is practical, understandable, audit-ready and effective in the long term.
ISO consulting helps organisations understand the requirements of a management system standard, apply them to their own operations and implement them effectively within existing processes.
The objective is not to create as much documentation as possible. An effective management system must fit the organisation’s processes, responsibilities and objectives.
TopQM-Systems supports you both in developing a new management system from the ground up and in the targeted improvement of existing structures.
Our ISO consulting services may include:
The scope of our support is tailored to your current situation and specific needs. TopQM-Systems can support the entire implementation project or provide targeted assistance during individual project phases.
External ISO consulting is particularly beneficial if you:
TopQM-Systems supports small and medium-sized enterprises as well as internationally operating organisations and corporate groups.
TopQM-Systems supports organisations with the implementation, further development and certification preparation of various ISO management systems. Select the relevant standard and learn more about its requirements, benefits and our services.
ISO 9001 provides the foundation for an effective quality management system. It helps organisations stabilise processes, clarify responsibilities, fulfil customer requirements and continually improve quality.
ISO 14001 helps organisations systematically assess environmental aspects, fulfil relevant obligations and continually improve their environmental performance. TopQM-Systems supports you with the implementation of ISO 14001:2026 and preparation for certification.
ISO 45001 provides a systematic framework for occupational health and safety. It helps organisations identify hazards, reduce risks and define responsibilities for occupational health and safety clearly.
ISO 50001 helps organisations create transparency regarding energy consumption and continually improve their energy performance. An effective energy management system provides the foundation for greater energy efficiency and long-term cost savings.
ISO/IEC 27001 defines requirements for an information security management system. It helps organisations assess information security risks systematically and protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information.
In addition to ISO management systems, TopQM-Systems supports organisations with the implementation of industry-specific management systems and customer requirements.
IATF 16949 supplements ISO 9001 with specific automotive industry requirements. It helps organisations throughout the automotive supply chain systematically ensure process stability, defect prevention and reliable delivery performance.
TISAX® is based on the VDA ISA catalogue and is used to demonstrate information security throughout the automotive supply chain. TopQM-Systems supports organisations with gap analyses, implementation of actions, internal audits and assessment preparation.
An ISO management system is developed step by step and integrated into the organisation’s existing business processes. TopQM-Systems adapts the approach to your current situation, the selected standard and the structures already in place.
We can support the entire implementation project or provide targeted assistance during individual phases.
Together, we clarify which management system is relevant to your organisation, the intended scope and the objectives associated with its implementation or further development.
Result: A clear project objective and an agreed framework for the management system.
We compare the current level of implementation with the requirements of the relevant standard. In doing so, we identify existing structures, outstanding gaps and specific areas for action.
Result: A transparent assessment of the current situation and a prioritised action plan.
Together, we review or develop your organisation’s management, core and support processes. Interfaces, process owners, responsibilities and required evidence are clearly defined.
Result: A clear process landscape with transparent responsibilities.
Existing documents are used where they are current and suitable. Missing content is added and unnecessary documentation is avoided.
This may include:
Result: A streamlined, practical and audit-ready documentation structure.
The developed processes and structures are transferred into day-to-day operations. Managers, management system representatives, process owners and employees are involved and trained in accordance with their responsibilities.
Result: A management system that is not only documented but also applied throughout the organisation.
Before the certification audit, we assess the level of implementation and the effectiveness of the management system. Identified non-conformities and opportunities for improvement are documented and addressed.
We also support the preparation and structuring of the management review.
Result: Transparency regarding audit readiness and any further actions required.
TopQM-Systems supports the final review of documentation and evidence, the preparation of relevant employees and, if required, support during the certification audit.
The certification itself is carried out by an independent, accredited certification body.
Result: A systematically prepared and audit-ready management system.
Following certification, TopQM-Systems can continue to support you with:
Result: A management system that remains effective and develops alongside your organisation.
ISO certification is carried out by an independent, accredited certification body. TopQM-Systems supports organisations with the professional and organisational preparation for the certification audit.
Depending on the current situation, this may include assessing certification readiness, reviewing relevant documents and evidence, conducting an internal audit, preparing the management review and supporting the organisation during the certification audit.
Our objective is an effective, transparent and audit-ready management system. A particular certification outcome cannot be guaranteed.
Not every consulting project begins with the development of a completely new system. An organisation may already operate a certified management system that has become too extensive, unclear or difficult to maintain.
TopQM-Systems supports you in reviewing processes and responsibilities, reducing documentation workload, making internal audits more effective and integrating new standards or requirements into existing structures.
Many organisations begin with a quality management system in accordance with ISO 9001 and later expand their structures to include environmental, energy, occupational health and safety or information security management.
If these management systems are developed and maintained separately, this often results in:
Within an integrated management system, common requirements are combined within an overarching structure. Standard-specific requirements are retained where they remain necessary.
The following areas can be managed jointly:
This creates clearer structures, consistent responsibilities and less duplication of work. Existing management systems do not need to be rebuilt completely. Existing processes and documents can be reviewed, harmonised and gradually transferred into an IMS.
TopQM-Systems supports you in combining ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, ISO 50001, ISO/IEC 27001 and other requirements within a practical, integrated and audit-ready management system.
Microsoft 365 and SharePoint can help make the processes, documents, tasks, actions and evidence of a management system centrally available.
Potential applications include:
TopQM-Systems combines management system expertise with a practical approach to the digitalisation of existing structures.
An effective management system requires managers, management system representatives and internal auditors to understand the relevant requirements and apply them confidently.
In addition to ISO consulting, TopQM-Systems offers practical training relating to ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 19011. These training courses support organisations with implementation, transition, internal auditing and the further development of their management systems.

Not every issue requires a comprehensive project or an on-site appointment.
TopQM-Systems supports you online with the interpretation of standard requirements, the review of processes and documents, audit preparation and specific technical questions relating to your management system.
TopQM-Systems does not provide off-the-shelf management systems. We consider your processes, company size, industry, customer requirements and existing structures.
Finally, someone who truly understands our industry.
That is exactly what TopQM-Systems stands for.
ISO consulting supports organisations with the implementation or further development of a management system in accordance with an ISO standard. It may include a gap analysis, process design, documentation, implementation, internal audits and certification preparation.
This depends on your industry, business objectives, customer requirements and legal or regulatory framework. ISO 9001 covers quality management, ISO 14001 environmental management, ISO 45001 occupational health and safety, ISO 50001 energy management and ISO/IEC 27001 information security.
Typical steps include defining the objectives and scope, conducting a gap analysis, developing the process and documentation structure, practical implementation, internal audits, management review and preparation for the certification audit.
The duration depends on the size of the organisation, the complexity of its processes, the selected standard, existing structures and available internal resources. Following an initial assessment, a realistic project plan and timetable can be developed.
Not every ISO management system standard explicitly requires a traditional management manual. The important point is that the necessary processes, responsibilities and evidence are clearly defined and effectively implemented. A well-structured manual may nevertheless be useful if it is used in practice.
No. Certification is carried out by an independent, accredited certification body. TopQM-Systems supports organisations with system development, implementation, internal audits, certification preparation and audit support.
Yes. Existing processes, documents and evidence are reviewed first. Suitable structures can be retained and supplemented where necessary. The objective is not to rebuild the system unnecessarily, but to create an effective and streamlined management system.
