What is KnowBe4 Compliance Plus?

KnowBe4's Compliance Plus training is interactive, relevant and engaging with real-life simulated scenarios to help teach users how to respond in a challenging situation. Compliance Plus includes various types of media formats and reinforcement materials to support an organization's compliance training program.

Compliance Plus is an add-on training library to the KnowBe4 platform and it can be used with the same campaign and automation features that KnowBe4 offers for security awareness training. Features like branding, certificates, auto-enrollment of users, tracking learner progress and completion rates, and advanced compliance reporting are all already in place. Compliance Plus allows you to create tailored compliance training campaigns that target the right users for the right compliance requirements.

Data Protection
The overall goal of these courses is to create informed employees that can identify personally identifiable information (PII), understand how to handle it, and make better privacy decisions that ultimately reduce risk to your organization.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
Diversity training on topics such as unconscious bias and inclusive language serves as a catalyst for behavior change by providing information that is informative, relatable and thought provoking.

Incorporating KnowBe4 Compliance Plus into the business operations significantly streamlines our compliance training and cybersecurity awareness efforts. By leveraging its extensive library of training content tailored to specific regulatory requirements, we can ensure that employees across all departments are educated on the necessary practices to protect sensitive data and our organization’s reputation.
  • phish attack simulation for employees
  • vast amount of relative training across departments
  • Compliance tracking and reporting
  • option to modify campaigns after they have started
  • option to add content and training to existing campaigns
  • option to stagger training modules assignments within a campaign
We have used the phishing simulation to see which users will fall for basic phish attempts and that gives us much insight. This saves us time and allows us to focus on those vulnerable users to create custom training campaigns. We will continue using a variety of modules, videos, quizzes, and games available to level up our staff knowledge.

We were utilizing another training solution that was not a good value or fun training solution for us. We chose to go with KnowBe4 Compliance Plus because of it allowed us to cover all of compliance training needs for HIPAA, SOC, ISO and other Federal and state required trainings. The platform was a good value and easy to use for the end user so it was an easy win for the team.
  • Engaging training Modules
  • Diverse content ingestion methods for different use cases
  • Easy reporting for export
  • Enrollment was confusing to some admins
  • Easier integration support
This is my go to recommendation for software for any and all compliance and training needs. I haven't found a place where KnowBe4 Compliance Plus doesn't have coverage but if they were missing content I guess that would be a reason to not use it. It will take some admin engagement to ensure proper setup.

Our HR Department is using the diverse library content to assign training on users on topics such as sexual harassment, diversity and inclusion, discrimination and business ethics. They are building the knowledge and awareness of the users and also to comply with regulatory laws, protect themselves from the unprofessional and unsafe work environments, and safeguard our organization’s reputation.
  • Relevant and engaging with real-life scenarios
  • Interactive
  • Fully automated
  • More country based content (Canada)
Best suited for employee onboarding training but also it will work for the existing employees to better equip them with the knowledge and awareness to comply with regulatory laws, protect themselves from the unprofessional and unsafe work environments, and safeguard your organization’s reputation.

Like many organizations, we used to have an annual 3 hour refresher on cyber security. Not only did our employees dread it, all it accomplished was ticking a box. When we chose KnowBe4, and went through our initial phishing assessment, it really demonstrated how vulnerable we were. We now offer training every other month for 15-20 minutes. The content is fresh, and interesting. Especially the storyline videos we have learned to love.
  • Allows you to launch different content to different groups
  • The annual refresh of modules and new content are what keep users engaged
  • It's interactive with testing and it's all trackable
  • Launching content in French sooner. North American languages should be prioritized
I think this training is suitable for everybody. Our organization has really embraced the change in providers to KnowBe4. The service is great, the content to choose from is overwhelming, and the platform is relatively easy to use. It take a while to get the hang of it, but when you do, you feel empowered. I can launch training or simulations with just a few clicks.

We use compliance plus for a number of required trainings throughout the District. Our main focus is on cyber security, however we have also utilized a number of HR related trainings as well. Those include Blood Borne Pathogens, Sexual Harassment, Ergonomics, Active Shooter/Intruder, among others.
  • Ability to schedule trainings out in advance
  • Ease of employees to take trainings on their own time
  • New and Engaging Trainings and Scenarios
  • Up to date and relevant trainings in todays world
  • Ease of printing of certificates for employees is cumbersome
  • Ability to run thorough reports for users when trainings are completed.
They think of everything and the trainings are so easy to search for.

KnowBe4 Compliance Plus was able to resolve the problem of getting current and information training content to be used for remediation of security controls relating to cybersecurity awareness and also ensuring effective tracking as required for documentation purpose.
  • Planning security awareness training for University staff
  • Organizing quarterly phishing exercise with ability to deploy trainings to students and staff
  • Accurately track completion progress
  • Utilisation of training content for improving awareness within the university campus
  • In all honesty I have not seen any flaws other than competitive pricing will be highly appreciated
If you want to automate your security awareness program and also blend it with HR and other data privacy training, then look no further.

We use KnowBe4 Compliance Plus for all of our compliance training in the org (harassment, CCPA, etc). We have those assigned quarterly or annually based on the compliance requirements.

We were able to replace other compliance trainings and consolidate all training, including security training into the KnowBe4 Compliance Plus platform. This resulted in a reduction in complexity for administration and also one central platform for end-users to keep the training consistent.
  • Ease of use
  • Ease of setup
  • Wide variety of training modules
  • Increased number of content
  • Lack of depth in some content
I think KnowBe4 Compliance Plus is best suited for smaller to mid-size organizations with simple regulatory or compliance requirements. The main issue is the lack of depth in some of the training which could pose an issue for larger orgs. It does a great job for general content, but some of the content is too short to make a difference.

It also does a good job of presenting the material in engaging or interesting ways, but depending on the company, might not be everyone's cup of tea.

We use KnowBe4 Compliance plus for HR related trainings like Ethics, Compliance, and Harassment training. It allows us to easily train all of our employees on these important subjects. We're able to easily track completion status and ensure that all of our employees have completed the training. The training campaigns are very easy to set up and monitor. The training modules are very well done and easy to understand and complete. Many have quizzes to verify our employees understand the material. I strongly recommend KnowBe4's Compliance Plus.
  • Visual Presentation
  • Examples
  • Quizzes
  • Ease of tracking
  • Campaign Setup
  • More training modules on topics
  • More acted examples
  • Multiple ways to help understand the topic
KnowBe4 Compliance Plus has worked very well in the scenarios that we use it for with Ethics, Compliance, and Harassment training. The Harassment training has been particularly important for us. Until we started using Compliance Plus we didn't have any training on these topics. The ability to track our employees completion has helped to ensure that everyone is completing it.

Currently Knowbe4 Compliance Plus is my main training tool in regulatory aspects of Health for Immediate. The solution allows me to comply with the requirements of the Training Regulator and at the same time allows employees to receive updated information in a systematic and recurring manner. One of the best functions that helps me with my external audits is that in addition to delegating regulatory information, it allows me to keep statistics of who carries out the training and who needs to be followed up and/or reinforced on some topics.

Compliance Plus allows us to bring our HR related training into the KnowBe4 ecosystem to simplify the process of onboarding clients with a comprehensive platform.

  • Learning Management
  • Comprehensive Module Selection
  • Customizability
  • Better separation of compliance plus from other modules
  • User role granularity
As a growing organization Compliance Plus has met our needs for required HR Training while simplifying and automating a large part of the onboarding process. The integration with other KnowBe4 modules also simplifies the user experience. The ability to upload custom modules has also proven extremely beneficial to our organization. It also allows creating company specific training in an easy-to-use platform for both administration and end-user point of views.

In order to for our company to be SOC2 compliant, we need to know and prove our employees have been trained in certain areas. KnowBe4 allows us to complete (and track) those aspects for SOC2 compliance. We are able to pick which trainings we need, initiate them, then control and track those required trainings.
  • Security training
  • SOC2 compliance
  • HR training
  • Phishing training
  • HR training
  • Simplicity of setting up campaigns
  • Database showing every possible training (ABC order?)
  • Database showing which trainings would fulfil various compliance requirememt (aka:_____ training would fulfil ____ requirement)
We needed a way to show and prove specific trainings were compleded by employees for SOC2 compliance. When we found KnowBe4, it solved that problem! We were able to select the specific trainings that were required, set them up on an annual basis, and show when those trainings were completed by employees.

As part of the process of becoming certified as GDPR compliant, LearnQuest has has to implement several end-user awareness training modules for all employees to take. Part of the audit procedure is to show a log of what was taken, when, and by whom, to show a record of awareness training completeness. The KnowBe4 interface, reporting, and content has been amazingly easy to use and excellent for our needs. The options for content type, length, language, and style made it very palatable to our user-base, as well as fairly easy for the admins to setup, track, remind, report, etc..
  • task automation
  • content variety
  • excellent usability
  • perhaps some pre-built content packages as template starters would be helpful
  • some better explanation of what features exist in which places and how they work
  • content customization of what topics I want under my eyes and which I do not - to cut down on the selections ("Do not show this again" or "Hide this" or "Save as a Favorite")
  • more functionality to save content topics into personal collections for later use
Areas where users (of various roles, including "everyone") are more or less required to process through content; like phishing and cybersecurity awareness, privacy concerns, basic employment concerns, etc. are great examples of where this tool excels.

But at higher-levels of training or responsibility requirements, it is less valuable as a compliance tool, yet still valuable as a training and reference library. One simply cannot rely on the fact that someone clicked through some "slides" and answered some questions to indicate a level of competence or understanding at a high level.

We use Compliance Plus for mostly HR and compliance training, making KnowBe4 a one stop shop for corporate training needs be it cyber awareness training, HR and compliance trainings.
  • access to compliance training that are tailored to compliance frameworks and consumer protection acts
  • although Compliance Plus has met our requirement, I believe adding more HR and compliance trainings will be beneficial to the platform
Since we implemented using Compliance Plus trainings, I personally have noticed increased interest of employees in taking HR trainings.

we use KnowBe4 as our training and phishing application. It provides our security awareness training, and also the phishing campaigns that test our user’s ability as our “human firewall.”
  • Security awareness training
  • Phishing campaigns
  • HR-related training
  • Content stability in coursework
  • Initial deployment assistance
This is a great tool for organizations that are looking to check off some boxes in the security realm. It provides an array of different methods to reach your audiences through training, games, and even phishing attacks managed by your IT/security teams.

  • Payment cards and information (pci)
  • sexual harassment training
  • More detailed metrics - separate compliance metrics from virtual risk score
  • More rigorous trainings for data/ pci related trainings

Compliance Plus gives us training modules that address non-security training needs including hostile work place, bloodborne pathogens and safe driving for our fleet drivers.
  • Automate training invitations
  • Track training progress
  • Visibility for supervisors and management
  • More variety in offerings on a topic
Compliance Plus is well suited to organizations with a changing workforce who need to ensure compliance training is offered to employees on a timely basis.

It would not likely be good for small organizations or very unstructured environments.

The platform offer tools for assessing an organization's compliance posture. It could include risk assessment functionalities to identify vulnerabilities, gaps, or areas where the organization might be at risk of non-compliance. It helps in prioritizing actions to mitigate these risks.
  • Compliance Training
  • Policy Management
  • Phishing and Security Awareness
  • Interface
While KnowBe4 Compliance Plus offers valuable tools, complete reliance on any software platform for compliance without human oversight, management commitment, and a comprehensive compliance strategy might lead to gaps in compliance efforts

We use the Compliance Plus modules in KnowBe4 for some of our annual training requirements - Code of Conduct, Privacy, Anti-Bribery, and Harassment, to name a few.

They are specific enough but general to apply to our company and policies. The biggest issue with most provided training is when they are 95% good with that 5% which goes against your policies - this does not happen with most of the Compliance Plus content we need.
  • Harassment training with enough modules to cover our global workforce
  • Variety of compliance related training that it covers
  • Works and fits right in with the other training we do - users are aware of the platform
  • Branding of the content - some very minor branding is available, but not enough
  • Ability to add links to policy or maybe a custom slide into the training - has to be done as another module in the same campaign
The training available in Compliance Plus works for most of our use cases. The ones where it does not is due to us having a more specific policy or one that is against common implementation.

It also does a decent job of covering specifics by country, which is important for a global company.

Compliance Plus provides us an easy way to deploy and track compliance related training to our large workforce. We have utilized the Anti-Bribery, Anti-Corruption, Sexual Harassment, Diversity & Inclusivity, and Operational Technology training campaigns. This is so much easier than having to source this training from several different platforms and tracking progress through several different vendors.
  • Lots of Industry-specific compliance training
  • Support for dozens of languages to make training easier for end users
  • Support for co-branding training videos and artwork
  • It would be nice if they supported Bengali and Arabic
We have used this to deploy timely Sexual Harassment training to support compliance efforts. We were required to perform Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption training to our end users by one of our biggest customers, and Compliance Plus allowed us to quickly deploy that training and we aced the audit!
