MetaCompliance is an all-in-one suite for awareness, policy and incident management — built for enterprise organizations with compliance teams.
Webguardiola solves the core problem: verifiably training employees — research-based, free to test, without suite overhead.
Fairness first: MetaCompliance is an established UK provider with 18+ years of market experience and a genuine all-in-one platform — security awareness training, phishing simulation (MetaPhish), policy management, incident management and compliance reporting, with content in 40+ languages and role-specific personalization. According to market comparison portals, the solution is built for enterprise organizations with more than 1,000 users looking to automate these processes at scale. For exactly that audience, it's a coherent package.
Companies looking for a MetaCompliance alternative typically have one of three reasons: They're an SME and don't need a suite — policy and incident management run on existing tools in mid-sized companies, and nobody wants to pay for modules that go unused. They want to test the training fully and without limits, instead of evaluating through demo calls and time-limited trial accounts. Or they don't want phishing simulations on their own employees — for data protection reasons, because of the works council, or out of conviction.
Webguardiola addresses exactly these three points — as a focused, research-based training program rooted in doctoral research on overconfidence bias in the phishing context. And this isn't limited to SMEs: for larger organizations with their own LMS, the complete training is available as a SCORM package — compact, gamified superhero comic e-learning, already successfully deployed in companies, at a price well below typical enterprise licenses.
Both approaches have their place — the table shows where the concepts differ. As of July 2026, based on publicly available information.

You pay for what you need: verifiable training. No policy module, no incident management, no platform demanding administration. The Business program covers your records (NIS2, ISO 27001, TISAX) — everything else stays with your existing tools.
You see 100% of what your employees will get — the complete training, all games, all quizzes. Free, unlimited, no credit card, no sales call. Only once you're convinced do we talk about the Business program.
No covert test emails, no personal click data, no works council debate. Our overconfidence bias research shows: knowledge is rarely the problem — application is. That's exactly where the training starts.
NIS2 requires regular, documented training measures — not a specific product and no compliance suite. Webguardiola delivers documented training records for audits (NIS2, ISO 27001, TISAX), a NIS2 training for all employees and the 30-minute NIS2 training for management and governing bodies (Art. 20(2)).
The complete training is available to test right now. No demo call, no credit card, no fine print. Afterwards, we'll set everything up for your company if you wish.
