VinciWorks by the numbers: 2018 – a year in review

2018 was another momentous year from VinciWorks. Our team continued to innovate and exceed our targets with new courses and product updates, as well as creating new guides and policy templates to help businesses stay on the right side of compliance.

Here are some of the highlights from 2018.

420,000course completions

We continued to deliver outstanding training with the number of training course completions more than doubling in 2018. GDPR is the most popular course, accounting for almost 25% of course completions, with anti-money laundering continuing to be a mainstay in most of our clients’ onboarding plan for new staff.

100,000 GDPR training completions

In the two years leading to the EU-wide General Data Protection Regulation coming into force on 25 May, VinciWorks made sure businesses were ahead of the game with their compliance tools and training. GDPR: Privacy at Work comes complete with a course builder, ensuring the most relevant training was delivered to each individual user. For users who required refresher training, or who were in lower-risk positions, GDPR: The Basics guides users through the changes being applied as a result of GDPR. Compliance is an ongoing process and VinciWorks continues to record around 5,000 GDPR course completions a month.

20,000 free resource downloads

This includes thousands of policy templates and guides in the run-up to GDPR. In addition to free webinars, VinciWorks has created close to 100 free resources, such as policy templates, guides and assessments to help businesses comply with the latest regulations. The resources can be downloaded from our compliance resource page.

140 new clients

This is a 25% increase in the number of new clients recorded this year. Businesses continue to turn to VinciWorks to comply with the latest regulations and train new staff. Our ability to customise and translate courses allows users to roll out training to staff based in almost any country. Further, our upgrades to our learning management system and Omnitrack has given customers even more to utilise from VinciWorks.

18 new courses

Once again, we have released more courses than ever before in a single year.
The scope for providing training has been expanded, with 10 new five-minute knowledge checks and the ability to create your own knowledge check.

15 new risk and business continuity products

Our risk and business continuity experts have been hard at work creating and carrying out workshops. While our risk offering covers the ten steps of Enterprise Risk Management, we introduced new business continuity products that lead customers through the five steps of business continuity.

Courses translated into13 languages

Many UK and EU regulatory laws, including the Criminal Finances Act 2017, the Money Laundering Regulations 2017 and GDPR, have an extraterritorial reach. It is therefore critical to an international business’ global compliance plan that all staff are made aware of the laws, wherever they are and whatever language they speak. VinciWorks’ customisable courses can be translated into any language for use all around the world. The course will automatically be displayed in each user’s default language and each learner can change the language of the course at the click of a button.

12 webinars

Almost 8,000 people registered for our webinars over the past 12 months, and we helped hundreds of businesses by answering several hundred compliance questions on GDPR, anti-money laundering, the SRA’s Handbook, sanctions regulation, unconscious bias and more. All webinars are available on-demand on the VinciWorks resource page.

1 major Learning Management System upgrade

On 4 November we upgraded to LMS version 6. The upgrade includes a beautiful new user interface, learning plans, and more, improving many aspects of the system.

How are you managing your GDPR compliance requirements?

GDPR added a significant compliance burden on DPOs and data processors. Data breaches must be reported to the authorities within 72 hours, each new data processing activity needs to be documented and Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIA) must be carried out for processing that is likely to result in a high risk to individuals. Penalties for breaching GDPR can reach into the tens of millions of Euros.
