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.
Read a message from Dr Ghazwa Alwani-Starr, Chief Operating Officer, introducing the courses and the reasons behind their launch.
How to access your courses
When a course is first made available to you, you’ll receive an email from no-reply@metacompliance.com with a link to the course.
You can also access and re-visit your bite-sized courses directly by visiting your MyCompliance Library within the MetaCompliance platform.
You will need to log in with your University username and password to access the platform and course(s).
