MetaCompliance – bite-sized cyber security training
Cyber threats are ever evolving, so it's essential that we continue to embrace best practices, and stay alert.
To help you with this, our MetaCompliance platform contains bite-sized courses to help your understanding of key cyber security topics and what you can do to reduce your risk of becoming a cyber victim.
The courses within the platform are offered to supplement the mandatory cyber security awareness training, which all staff must complete.
How to access your courses
Some courses will be released to you via an email from no-reply@metacompliance.com with a link to the course. Other courses will be released directly to your MyCompliance Library, without a related email.
Regardless of whether you receive an email, you can also access and re-visit any of your bite-sized courses directly via the course links below, or by visiting your MyCompliance Library within the MetaCompliance platform. You may need to toggle to the 'Complete' view to see training you've previously completed.
You will need to log in with your University username and password to access the platform and course(s).

The courses within our MetaCompliance platform are purposefully brief (less than 10minutes long) and aim to shine a spotlight on key cyber security topics.
