Case Study: Mater Group achieves scalable, engaging cybersecurity awareness training and executive buy-in with Mimecast

Mater Group - Flexible cybersecurity awareness training for a diverse workforce

The Mater Group is a not-for-profit healthcare, education, fundraising and research organisation operating hospitals, health centres and a nationally accredited training institute. With about 6,500 email users and a wide range of roles and computer-literacy levels, Mater had no e‑learning for cybersecurity awareness and needed a flexible, locally relevant program to engage staff and protect mission‑critical patient systems.

Mater chose Mimecast Email Security and Mimecast Awareness Training, using a Cyber Awareness Working Party to tailor content (including a comedy angle) for its diverse workforce. Mimecast’s phishing reports and engaging modules won executive buy-in, enabled regular training at scale, improved user awareness of human-error risks and patient data protection, and supported a successful organisation‑wide rollout.
