Global Compliance & Assurance for the defence supply chain
WHG is a UK consultancy focused on one thing: helping organisations meet the compliance demands of defence – and turning that compliance into a reason to be trusted with the next contract.
Defence people who understand compliance
Our team brings together ex-military personnel, qualified lead auditors and specialists in cyber, quality and supply chain assurance. We have worked inside defence, inside certification and inside the businesses that supply them – so we know what each side needs and how to make it work.
We support primes, SMEs and organisations entering defence for the first time, across cyber, quality, information security, environmental, health and safety, business continuity and AI governance.
- Ex-military team who understand MOD language and culture
- Qualified lead auditors across ISO and defence requirements
- Personnel cleared from BPSS to DV
- CMMC-qualified team for US defence programmes
- Armed Forces Covenant signatory – Employer Recognition Scheme Bronze Award

Assure. Improve. Enable. Together.
Assure
Evidence first. Every decision and claim backed by records that stand up to scrutiny.
Improve
We fix root causes and leave systems stronger, not just reports on a shelf.
Enable
Compliance that helps you win and deliver contracts, not just pass audits.
Together
We work alongside your team and build capability that stays when we leave.
Independence and impartiality
WHG provides consultancy, implementation and audit support. We do not issue certificates or carry out certification assessments – those are performed by independent, accredited bodies. Keeping those roles separate protects the value of your certification.
Supporting those who serve
WHG is proud to have signed the Armed Forces Covenant and to hold the Employer Recognition Scheme Bronze Award. Our sponsorship of Army rugby players at Salisbury Rugby Club is one example of that support in action.
