Policy Management
MetaCompliance alternatives compared with Policy Management
MetaCompliance is a security awareness platform with a policy module attached.
If policy governance is your actual problem, you’re paying for a lot you won’t use. Policy Management Pro does one thing well: publish policies, track who has read them, and produce an audit-ready record — on your own server.
The numbers
What you actually pay.
Per-seat SaaS pricing climbs with every hire. A self-hosted licence is flat — one annual fee per site, regardless of user count.

Why teams switch
What SaaS compliance really costs you.
Per-seat pricing punishes growth
Every new hire raises the SaaS bill. A self-hosted Policy Management licence is flat — add staff and sites without adding cost.
Your acknowledgement records live on their servers
Sign-off records and audit evidence sit in someone else’s cloud, under their retention, access, and uptime rules.
Leaving means a painful migration
Limited export and complex data retrieval make renewal feel mandatory — even when the tool no longer fits your organisation.

Only need acknowledgement tracking? Start free — upgrade to Pro when you need governance cycles and bulk reporting.

Common questions, answered.
We only need the policy part — is Policy Management Pro enough?
Yes. Policy Management Pro is purpose-built for the policy governance loop: draft, publish, acknowledge, review, export. If you don’t need phishing simulation or security awareness training, you’re not missing anything.
Do you offer phishing simulation or security training?
No. Training Hub handles structured learning and competency assessments. Phishing simulation is out of scope for our plugin catalogue.
Can we export everything if we ever move platforms?
Yes. All policies, versions, and acknowledgement records are exportable as CSV and PDF at any time. Nothing is held at renewal.
What Australian data residency options do you have?
Because the plugin runs on your own server, your data lives wherever you host it. Choose an Australian-based host and your data stays in Australia.
