Cyber security awareness training for staff

Understand the risks of working and studying online and how to mitigate them

The required cyber security training is hosted on the MyCompliance e-learning platform. You must be logged in with your University identity – [CRSid]@cam.ac.uk email address and University account password (formerly called Raven).

If you have not completed the course yet, in the coming weeks weeks you will receive an email from no-reply[@]metacompliance.com on behalf of the University asking you to complete the cyber security awareness training that has been assigned to you in MyCompliance Cloud.

1. Access your course by clicking the 'MyCompliance Cloud Login' button in your email.
   
   If you have more than one Microsoft account...
   You must use your University Microsoft account to log in to MyCompliance Cloud. If you are currently logged in to Microsoft 365 with your institutional email address, for example @medschl.cam.ac.uk, you may get an error message or will not see your course listed. Log out of your institutional account and log in again with your University Microsoft account. Follow these instructions.
2. Log in using your @cam.ac.uk email address and University account password (formerly called Raven). 
   
   If you have problems logging in, please see Logging in to MyCompliance and ensure you are using your University Microsoft account, not an institutional or College account.

Logging in to MyCompliance

If you log into your University account using your [ CRSid]@cam.ac.uk email address before following the link to your MyCompliance Cloud course, you won't need to enter your University password again.

If you prefer not to follow links in emails, you can also log in to MyCompliance Cloud independently and find the course on your homepage or watch videos in the MyCompliance library.

You must sign in using your University Microsoft account

Note that it's important to log in using your University Microsoft account using your @cam.ac.uk email address, not an institutional email address such as @medschl.cam.ac.uk. If you don't, you may see an error message stating that the course doesn't exist, or you may not be able to access MyCompliance Cloud.

You must also ensure you're not already logged in to your institutional Microsoft account in another tab or window. If you are, you'll need to log out and log in again with your University Microsoft account. Alternatively, you can set up another browser profile for your University account.

How to set up another browser profile

This example uses Chrome, but you can follow similar steps for other browsers, such as Edge or Safari. 

1. Click on your profile icon in the top-right corner:
