Role-based awareness in action

Strengthening behavioural resilience across 28,000 colleagues

Through bespoke, role-specific learning at National Grid, delivering energy safely and reliably across the UK and US demands more than generic security awareness training.

National Grid needed a human risk programme that reflected real operational pressures, high-impact roles, and the evolving threat landscape shaped by generative AI.

In partnership with MetaCompliance, National Grid implemented a structured, dual-stream learning model that combines organisation-wide consistency with highly targeted education for elevated-risk roles.

What This Means for Human Risk Management

Turning behavioural insight into measurable risk reduction

Role-based risk cannot be managed through generic awareness alone.

National Grid’s approach demonstrates how structured, scenario-driven learning can align high-risk roles, behavioural insight, and leadership visibility within one measurable framework.

As threats evolve — particularly across identity misuse and AI-enabled attack paths — organisations need a structured approach to managing human risk.
