Its platform trains employees to recognise and mitigate cyber threats while ensuring organisations meet complex regulatory requirements.
Over the past three years, MetaCompliance has more than doubled its size, expanding to over 200 employees and serving blue-chip enterprises and mid-market customers across Europe, the UK, and beyond.
