Glimpse into MetaCompliance
Robert O’Brien, Founder and CEO states that he had previous experience working in software and was involved in a company that sold a portfolio of Cyber Security products. He had heard repeatedly about companies seeking a solution that would enable them to evidence employee attestation of policies. He also emphasizes on an issue that organisations were facing large financial sanctions and risking their corporate reputation due to a lack of attestation management. In 2005, this type of product did not exist and he soon recognised, there was a real demand and opportunity in the market for a solution that would allow companies to provide the evidential weight to defend themselves and was easy to consume for the end user.

Being Socially Responsible
Robert states that Corporate Social Responsibility represents an organisation’s impact on society and how this is embedded into its everyday strategy. He believes business can pursue its self-interest while doing good work for society. Currently, CSR is no longer a measure of good will but a measure of being a good business and organizations are increasingly judged on their merits and ethics. Prioritising CSR directly impacts the type of customers, employees, and suppliers and stakeholders that a company attracts.
