What Management System Solutions does

Management System Solutions, Inc. (MSS) is a privately held consulting and auditing firm headquartered in Orlando, Florida, founded in 1994. The firm specializes in the design, implementation, auditing, and certification of environmental, health, safety, security, and quality management systems across standards including ISO 14001, ISO 45001, ISO 9001, FSSC 22000, the American Chemistry Council's Responsible Care (RC14001 / RCMS), and the ICMI Cyanide Code. Its primary clients are Fortune-500 chemical manufacturers and hazardous-materials transportation and logistics operators, with secondary exposure to gold mining, electronics, automotive, pharmaceutical, petrochemical, and high-tech firms.

The company's core product set comprises four consulting service lines (RC14001/RCMS, Cyanide Code, ISO Standards, and Auditing) supplemented by three branded online training platforms — RC University, ISO University, and Cyanide University — that deliver Exemplar Global TPECS-accredited lead auditor courses and continuing professional development. A fourth offering, MSS Academy, provides bespoke multi-lingual e-learning platforms for corporate clients. Auditors are deployed globally across the United States, Europe, Mexico, Peru, and Africa, with multi-lingual coverage in English, German, Spanish, and Chinese.

MSS monetizes exclusively through professional services and training: fee-for-service engagements priced by quote (not publicly disclosed), third-party certification audits, supply chain and due diligence auditing, and course and certification fees from the three university portals. The firm generates no external funding, operates no parent or subsidiary structure, and is led by founder Nicole Jurczyk as President, Senior Consultant, and Lead Auditor. Its strategic differentiation rests on regulatory specialization (a 100% ICMI acceptance rate sustained for nearly a decade and the world's first cyanide production certification in 2006), senior auditor credentials, and the integrated training-to-auditing ecosystem.

Broad incumbents

• Bureau Veritas: Global testing, inspection, and certification (TIC) giant offering ISO 14001, ISO 45001, and ISO 9001 management system certification at global scale. Overlaps with MSS's ISO/Responsible Care auditing practice but operates as a multi-vertical incumbent rather than a niche specialist.
• DNV: Leading global certification body delivering ISO 14001/45001/9001 audits and management system services across industries. Directly comparable on management system certification but with broader sector coverage and substantially larger scale than MSS.
• SGS: World's largest TIC company providing ISO management system certification, environmental, health and safety auditing, and supply chain services. Comparable on ISO/EHS audit services but operates at much greater global scale and sector breadth.
• TÜV Rheinland: Global TIC and certification body with deep ISO 9001/14001/45001 management system certification practice. Comparable on management system audits; differs in being a much larger, multi-industry German-rooted incumbent.
• Intertek: Global TIC provider offering ISO management system certification, EHS auditing, and supply chain assurance. Comparable service overlap with MSS, particularly in chemical/industrial EHS, but at far greater scale and geographic reach.
• LRQA (Lloyd's Register Quality Assurance): Established ISO management system certification body with strong EHS/Q audit practice across industrial clients. Comparable to MSS on ISO certification services, with broader portfolio and global footprint.
• RINA: Italy-headquartered global certification body providing ISO 14001/45001/9001 management system certification and EHS services to industrial clients. Comparable on management system audits and chemical/industrial EHS work.

Direct peers

• SCS Global Services: Mid-sized independent certification and auditing firm offering ISO management system certification, environmental auditing, and supply chain verification. Closely comparable to MSS in size, scope, and boutique EHS/Q certification positioning.
• Orion Registrar: Independent US-based ISO 9001/14001/45001 management system certification body serving industrial clients. Comparable to MSS as a similarly sized, similarly focused boutique ISO certification firm.

Emerging players

• Aster Global Environmental Solutions: Boutique environmental, health, safety, and quality management consulting firm offering EHS auditing, ISO implementation, and compliance services. Comparable niche focus and customer base to MSS, particularly in industrial and mining EHS work.
