While that may indicate some kind of "managed system" or computer had been used
from or within a networked other computer; associated with your wife's iMac; the
management (if that's the case) could be removed, by correct actions taken.
Intro to mobile device management - Apple Support
"Configuration profiles automate the configuration of settings, accounts,
restrictions, and credentials. These files can be created by an MDM
solution or Apple Configurator, or they can be created manually."
Details where this was found:
Bernard: corporation wiki shows 156 connected affiliations, each is secure.
If corporate or personal 'systems management' is the case, erasing the storage/drive
may not remove all files behind this. One of the cures might involve deeper erasure.
Instructions to remove an Apple management system are in the Table of Contents
link; among many other bits about this. (An internal discussion within ASC had a
few links on this, there in closed to public view; & had been read with curiosity.)
This applies to a 'user-level' and/or 'corporate-business' level. And does not affect
a user-level account; they can login, and do anything in the computer, normally.

..If the computer had been bought second hand, as new; it may
have been associated with anyone whose personal or business
might have had reason for the Apple Management system in it..
Just saying, this is one explanation; with varying implication!🤔

Hard to say why your wife's iMac may show a name of someone in Houston TX
who has any affiliation with Royal Bank of Scotland Group PLC; unless a known
connection may exist. (As a corporationwiki.com/texas/houston page shows.)
That however is not something a Volunteer helper in an Apple 'User-to-User'
community online might begin to guess. What I found: in duckduckgo search.
[Unless the computer or user associated with the iMac had been corporate
owned and later sold but not released from ADM or management protocols.]
Ha ha, I didn't see that one only google search. I have seen other inquiries on the apple forums that ask the same, but there were no answers. I have a feeling her system is corrupt. Time to wipe the drive and start fresh.
Yes, I saw Old Toad's post. The links his post go no where, and the google search for Talengy Unify software goes no where. How does one go about removing something like this? I'm not even sure where to start.
Perhaps the reply from Old Toad at the link below will shed some light.
