Description

MetaCompliance Security Awareness Premium Plus helps raise awareness of cyber threats, reduce the risks associated with attacks, and embed a culture of security compliance via training courses.

MetaCompliance provides a world-class Security Awareness Training solution that helps to raise awareness of cyber security threats, reduce the risks associated with cyber-attacks, and embed a culture of security compliance in our organisation.

The ground for Direct Award is being made under option A : Are required to be compatible with an existing asset.

The software is installed on each machine, which is configured to ensure training and awareness does not interfere with the control room operators taking 999 calls, which is key to the organisation. HR also use this platform and have their training materials delivered through MetaCompliance. Cheshire Fire have been using MetaCompliance since 2023. To change providers would require IT having to support two separate systems for HR/E-Security training.

The pushing out of the software is simple, but it's how the software interacts with the Forces' machines which is key. IT are able to delay the MetaCompliance software from interfering with machines in the control room, so it does not interfere with their ability to take 999 calls which is a key requirement for the Force. Should the Force not be able to do this, then the 999 call operators could be left facing a situation where they have to read and comply with a policy that has been sent out to their machine before they are able to begin accepting 999 calls. In an urgent situation this would not be acceptable.
