Compliance Training for US Businesses That Keeps You Audit-Ready. Every Year.

Compliance training for employees is a structured program that teaches your workforce the laws, regulations, and internal policies that apply to their role — and documents that they have completed that training. In the US, the primary regulations requiring documented employee training include HIPAA, OSHA, PCI DSS, FCPA, and California-specific laws including SB 1343, SB 553, and CCPA. For a full breakdown of what compliance training covers by regulation, read our Complete Compliance Training Guide.

It depends on your industry and the regulations that apply to your business. HIPAA requires documented security and privacy training for all healthcare workforce members. OSHA requires documented safety training for employees in industries with physical hazards. PCI DSS 4.0.1 requires ongoing security awareness for employees handling cardholder data. In California, SB 1343 requires harassment training for all employees at companies with 5+ staff, and SB 553 requires workplace violence prevention training for all California employers. Most US SMBs are simultaneously subject to three or more of these requirements.

It varies by regulation. HIPAA requires annual training for all workforce members. SB 1343 (California harassment) requires training every two years. PCI DSS 4.0.1 requires ongoing security awareness throughout the year — not just annual completion. OSHA does not specify a frequency but requires training "as often as necessary" based on the hazards employees face. Relatones builds compliance programs with annual renewal cycles included — so your team stays current without you rebuilding the program every year.

Self-paced compliance courses satisfy documentation requirements — your employees get a completion certificate and your records show training was completed. Relatones blended and live programs produce documentation AND behavior change — employees understand why the regulations exist, not just that they do. For regulations where auditors look beyond the certificate (EEOC investigations of harassment claims, HHS OCR HIPAA investigations), live instruction is consistently more defensible than self-paced completion alone. We offer both formats — and we'll tell you which one your specific situation actually requires.

A Relatones blended compliance program for a 50-person team starts from $3,500 — less than the minimum OSHA penalty for a single serious violation ($16,131). A single HIPAA penalty ranges from $100 to $1.6 million per violation. A single CCPA intentional violation costs $7,500. Ponemon Institute research shows non-compliance costs US businesses 2.71× more than the cost of staying compliant.

Yes. Relatones is a California-specialist compliance training provider. Our programs cover SB 553 (workplace violence prevention — effective July 2024), SB 1343 (harassment training for all employees at companies with 5+ staff), CCPA (data privacy training for employees handling personal information), and Cal/OSHA (stricter than federal OSHA in most categories) — with documentation formatted specifically for California regulators. We serve businesses across Los Angeles, the San Francisco Bay Area, San Diego, Sacramento, San Jose, and Irvine.

Yes — and for most US SMBs, that is exactly what we recommend. A California employer in healthcare, for example, is simultaneously subject to HIPAA, SB 1343, SB 553, CCPA, and Cal/OSHA. Building separate programs for each is expensive, inefficient, and produces documentation scattered across multiple systems. We design compliance programs that cover all applicable regulations in a single deployment — with documentation formatted separately for each regulator who may request it.
