Side-by-side comparison
| Criterion | Build it in-house | Generic global course library | Compliance at Workplace |
|---|---|---|---|
| Indian law coverage | Only as current as the person who writes it; you track amendments yourself. | Often written for US or UK law. India-specific topics such as the POSH Act or DPDP Act may be missing or generic. | Built around Indian law: POSH Act 2013, DPDP Act 2023, Prevention of Corruption Act, SEBI insider trading rules, PMLA and more. |
| Proof for auditors | Attendance sheets and emails, assembled by hand before each audit. | Completion records in the vendor or your LMS. | Completions, assessment scores and certificates tracked in your LMS (SCORM) or on our Compliance Central platform, exportable for audits. |
| Languages | Whatever your team can produce. | Varies; Indian languages are less common. | English and Hindi (including POSH for blue-collar teams), with other Indian languages on request. |
| Time to launch | Weeks of drafting, legal review and scheduling. | Quick if you already hold a subscription. | Standard courses can go live on Compliance Central in as little as 1 business day; custom courses typically take 2 to 4 weeks. |
| Fit to your organisation | Fully yours, but limited by in-house design skills. | Usually fixed content; branding options vary. | Your branding, policies and industry-specific scenarios added to any course. |
| Engagement | Slide decks and classroom sessions. | Standard click-through modules. | Scenario-based modules, with optional game-based engines such as quizzes, crosswords and board games. |
Which option fits you
Build it in-house if you are a small team with in-house legal expertise and time to keep the material current. You save the licence fee but spend staff time instead, and the audit trail is your problem.
A global course library suits multinationals that need one curriculum across many countries. Add India-specific modules for the laws the library does not cover.
Compliance at Workplace suits Indian employers who need training that maps to Indian law, works on their existing LMS and produces records an auditor or Internal Committee can rely on. Browse the course catalogue or the training topics.
Questions to ask any compliance training provider
- Which Indian laws and sections does each course cite, and when was it last updated?
- Will it run on our LMS as SCORM, or do we have to use your platform?
- What completion and assessment records can we export for an audit?
- Is the course available in the languages our employees actually read, such as Hindi?
- Can we add our own policies, branding and scenarios?
- Where is learner data stored, and how does that fit the DPDP Act? (See how we handle learner data.)
Frequently asked questions
Is a global compliance course library enough for an Indian company?
It can cover general ethics, but Indian employers have obligations that generic libraries often miss: the POSH Act requires awareness programmes and an Internal Committee, the DPDP Act sets duties for anyone handling personal data, and section 9 of the Prevention of Corruption Act makes a company liable for bribes paid on its behalf. Check that each course names the Indian law it relies on.
Can we use your courses on our existing LMS?
Yes. Courses are supplied as SCORM packages that run on your LMS, so learner records stay in your system. If you do not have an LMS, we host the training on our Compliance Central platform.
Is in-house POSH training legally acceptable?
The POSH Act requires employers to run workshops and awareness programmes at regular intervals; it does not require an outside provider. What matters is that the content is accurate, reaches every employee and that you can prove it did.
