Case Study: Cork County Council achieves improved cyber awareness and automated compliance with MetaCompliance

Cork County Council - Customer Case Study

Cork County Council, the second largest Local Authority in the Republic of Ireland, faced a surge in daily cyber threats and had no feedback mechanism to baseline or measure staff security awareness. To build a cyber-first culture they engaged MetaCompliance and adopted its award-winning suite — including Policy Management, bespoke eLearning, MetaPhish phishing simulations and the Campaigns module — to create tailored, continuous security awareness programmes.

MetaCompliance implemented a centralized, automated platform that manages policies, delivers engaging training and schedules simulated phishing exercises, giving Cork County Council clear visibility of policy acceptance, training completion and user vulnerability. The solution drastically reduced HR administrative time, improved auditing and reporting for regulators, and enabled a measurable, year‑round awareness programme that identifies weak points and tracks improvement across the organisation.
