Compliance Platform
MetaCore — Compliance Management Platform
for ISO 27001, POPIA & PAIA
Build Audit-Ready Compliance. First Time.
MetaCore is a structured compliance management system designed to help organisations achieve and demonstrate compliance with ISO/IEC 27001, POPIA, PAIA, and GDPR — providing a complete, traceable system linking requirements, controls, execution, and evidence.
What MetaCore Is
MetaCore is not a document repository or checklist tool.
It is a compliance management system that provides structured workflows, governance registers, assessment engines, and audit-ready outputs — built on a strict traceability model.
- Structured workflows
- Governance registers
- Assessment engines
- Audit-ready outputs
Every component is designed to ensure accuracy, completeness, and audit defensibility.
The Problem MetaCore Solves
Most organisations struggle with compliance because:
- ✕Documentation is fragmented across multiple systems
- ✕Policies exist but are not implemented in practice
- ✕There is no link between controls and evidence
- ✕Audit preparation is manual, time-consuming, and inconsistent
- ✕Key requirements are missed, resulting in audit findings
This leads to rework, increased audit costs, and delayed certification.
The MetaCore Approach
MetaCore is built on a strict traceability model — nothing is left implicit, everything is structured.
Every requirement
is addressed
Every control
is implemented
Every activity
is evidenced
Every output
is audit-verifiable

Why This Matters for Audit
Auditors and regulators do not assess documents in isolation. They assess whether requirements are understood, controls are defined, processes are executed, evidence exists, and activities are repeatable.
This enables organisations to demonstrate compliance clearly, consistently, and defensibly.
