How MEGA Built a Security-First Culture to Scale AI-Driven O2C Solutions

MEGA was founded to transform the Order to Cash (O2C) process using AI-powered automation. To lead the market, MEGA’s CEO Peter Hauge Jensen knew cybersecurity had to be a part of the organization's DNA. 

The Challenge: Establishing Trust 

As a company handling sensitive financial data across the entire cash cycle, trust is essential for MEGA. 

“At MEGA, we are committed to security and compliance,” says Peter. “As a company building software using the latest technology and AI, it’s extremely important that our customers and data controllers find the highest level of trust in how we work with data when achieving business results."

The challenge was finding a way to implement the required Cyber Essentials controls and policies without slowing down its pace of innovation. 

The Solution: Making Compliance a Part of the Culture

Cyber Essentials is a set of security controls designed to protect organizations from common cyber threats like phishing attacks and network attacks. 

But Peter didn’t just want to tick boxes when it comes to cybersecurity, he wanted to build a culture around it. “Workstreet helped us as consultants very close to our organization, getting controls and procedures set up to have it embedded into the everyday way of working at MEGA,” he explains. 

“By working with Workstreet, we’ve made sure that controls and policies implemented are fully compliant with all latest versions of relevant standards.”

The Result: A Security-First Organization

Cyber Essentials has helped Peter to build on its culture of compliance. “For MEGA, it is only logical to be a security- and privacy-first company,” he says. “It’s extremely important that our customers and data controllers find the highest level of trust in how we work with data.”

MEGA highlights that security isn't just about passing an audit, it's about building a culture that respects and protects customer data at every level. 

Everyone Needs to be Onboard 

Peter’s biggest takeaway for other founders is that true compliance requires a full organizational commitment. 

“Workstreet has helped us, but the entire organization has worked hard to implement standards and controls. These audits and certifications only come with hard work. This way, we can assure our customers that their data is in safe hands,” explains Peter.
