Compliance Needs Met.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

As a smaller organization in the COBRA benefits administration field, we needed something more descriptive and more beneficial to our employees. Because we have access to certain criteria, we needed to always keep in mind how to handle this type of information. With COBRA, we handle many different items: PHI, PII, PCI, etc. We also follow HIPAA regulations in our daily work schedules. We had used different programs, but we needed something MORE! I found KnowBe4 through some research and loved what they provided. They offer different tiers you can purchase, plus a separate Compliance Plus package. We absolutely needed this. It includes many types of compliance items and training. It covers everything from Inclusion at work to password management. We have quarterly training and also annual required training. This additional package gives us more access to certain security awareness topics, so we don't have to watch the same training year after year. We highly recommend this for smaller organizations, like us, and larger organizations. You can even customize the content to fit your needs and send training to your staff! How cool is that? For the price and what you get, it's a great deal.

Pros

  • Brandable to your organization.
  • Provides updated security & compliance training content.
  • Different types of trainings (articles, video trainings, etc.)

Cons

  • Add more training content to fit many industry needs.
  • Only have access to your tier plus Compliance Plus. Have to filter to the subscription items you purchased.
  • Provide all users with access to the training ModStore so that they can learn about different subjects as well (not just admin).

Return on Investment

  • Provides system-generated reports to clients and compliance auditors to show proof of completion.
  • Training content is easy to understand and access.
  • Helps keep our employees accountable and also provides reminders to handle sensitive information professionally.

Usability

Very Happy with KnowB4 Compliance Plus.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use KnowBe4 Compliance Plus to provide content for our mandatory Anti-Bribery and Corruption and Discrimination and Harassment compliance training. The challenge for this library was finding quality content for these two important compliance areas at the right price, and we addressed both. As well as meeting the compliance requirements for the whole company, the library also offered opportunities for use to provide targeted campaigns for specific groups with the selection of short videos on focus elements. Plus, it provides development for individuals on specific areas of concern.

Pros

  • High quality production short videos.
  • The short video series have an element of humor which makes them very watchable.
  • The download manager to get the SCORM files to import into our LMS is easy to use.

Cons

  • Having compliance content that is more global less US centric.
  • The branded content tool has mis-functioned for us and the issue is taking sometime.

Return on Investment

  • With our Cybersecurity package, Compliance Plus has reduced our yearly compliance training costs by over 50%.
