Case Study: Essex Online Partnership achieves 100% policy participation and improved compliance culture with MetaCompliance Advantage

Essex Online Partnership - Customer Case Study

Essex Online Partnership (EOLP) is a collaboration of county, district, borough and unitary councils plus emergency services in Essex that needed to roll out new best-practice Information Security Policies (covering GCSx, PCI DSS, ISO27001 and the Data Protection Act 1998). Traditional engagement methods weren’t working and EOLP needed a way to disseminate policies, prove each employee had read and understood them, and raise overall user awareness — so they engaged MetaCompliance and its Advantage solution.

MetaCompliance deployed Advantage across EOLP members, integrating with each organisation’s IT infrastructure and delivering automated self‑certification, eLearning, policy distribution, risk assessments and secure audit/reporting. The result was a measurable uplift in security culture and user awareness, 100% participation in policies, surveys and eLearning, reduced risk of data leakage, demonstrable CoCo compliance and an Essex‑wide special pricing model that delivered clear ROI.
