Creating trusted companies
The key to our success are talented people who bring passion to the table every day, take responsibility, and support each other to create a culture of integrity.
Who we are
We started with one clear goal: to simplify the way companies communicate with capital markets. As digital disclosure and investor expectations evolved, so did we – expanding into the fast-changing world of compliance, and later into the critical fields of data privacy and sustainability. Today, our integrated platform handles compliance and ESG management, investor relations solutions, data privacy compliance, and AI governance – helping organizations stay ahead of evolving European and global regulations.
