For small and mid-size employers who run isolved through a payroll bureau, PEO, or benefits broker, Coggno is the compliance LMS to evaluate first: it reads the isolved roster every 24 hours and assigns courses from 10,000+ compliance courses, while the training contract and records stay with you rather than with whoever administers your HR system. The questions that decide this purchase are who owns the training line item and who keeps the roster accurate.
Those questions sound administrative until a partner changes, a terminated employee keeps an active login, or an investigator asks for records from two partners ago.
Which compliance LMS should you use with isolved?
For isolved employers with 25 to 1,000 employees who need mandated training covered without a learning-design team, Coggno is a strong default. Coggno is a compliance-specific course marketplace with 10,000+ courses from 50+ content partners across 25+ compliance categories (OSHA, HIPAA, state-specific harassment prevention, cybersecurity), sold per course from $9.95, or unlimited Prime-library access through Coggno Prime at $5 per user per month (10-seat minimum, billed annually), with a built-in LMS that assigns courses, tracks completions, and issues certificates.
Coggno connects to isolved for roster data. The isolved integration page covers setup, and the HRIS integrations hub lists the 250+ HR and payroll systems Coggno connects to.
What does isolved Learn and Grow offer, and when is it enough?
isolved sells its own LMS. As of November 6, 2026, the Learn and Grow page describes an end-to-end learning management system with access to 95,000+ courses, configurable curricula, personalized quizzes, and tailored learning paths. The page does not list a price.
Learn and Grow is a sensible choice if you want one vendor and your partner already bundles it. It wins on breadth of general content and on living inside the same HCM suite. A compliance-specific catalog wins on depth: separate state harassment courses for each jurisdiction that fixes hours in law, OSHA-Authorized OSHA 10 and OSHA 30 via content partner PureEHS, and published pricing you can compare without asking your partner for a quote. Our guide to HRIS integration in compliance training lays out what to expect from either route.
Who owns the training line item when a partner administers isolved?
isolved runs a large reseller channel. Its Network Partner page describes a program for administrative services organizations, professional employer organizations, and payroll service providers, and says hundreds of service bureaus use the platform. Many employers never talk to isolved directly; they talk to a regional bureau or broker who sold and configured it.
That is often a good arrangement for payroll. For compliance training, it raises three ownership questions worth settling in writing:
- Who holds the contract? If training is an add-on to the partner’s bundle, leaving the partner can mean losing the LMS. A training contract in your own name survives a payroll change.
- Who holds the records? Training records are your evidence, not the partner’s. Confirm you can export every completion and certificate at any time.
- Who decides what gets assigned? Brokers know benefits; they rarely track state harassment rules or OSHA standards. Someone on your side should own the course map.
If you are in a co-employment arrangement, our guide to compliance training for PEOs and worksite employers explains how responsibilities usually split.
How do you keep the roster authoritative when someone else enters the data?
A roster sync is only as good as the data in isolved. Coggno reads five fields, read-only: name and work email, department, location, and start and end dates. For isolved, employee data refreshes every 24 hours. New hires are provisioned and enrolled in the courses their department and location require, and departures are deactivated while their records stay intact. Coggno never writes back to isolved and never syncs compensation, Social Security numbers, or banking data. HRIS sync is included with Coggno Prime and Enterprise plans.
When a partner keys in hires and terminations, ask for two service levels: changes entered within one business day, and location changes entered when someone actually moves, not at the next payroll. A late termination leaves an active login; a late location change sends the wrong state course. Our article on HRIS-driven offboarding covers the termination side, and the breakdown of manual roster uploads versus HRIS sync puts a cost on doing it by hand.
Consider a hypothetical 85-person dental and medical billing group that buys isolved through a regional payroll bureau. The bureau enters new hires on Fridays. In June, a billing specialist starts on a Monday, handles patient records for four days, and receives HIPAA training the following week. Technically, HIPAA allows a reasonable period. But the group would rather the course land on day one, so it asks the bureau to enter hires the day the offer is signed.
Which compliance records should you be able to produce, and for how long?
Retention rules vary by topic, which is one more reason the records should live in a system you control:
Federal minimums: EEOC personnel records 1 year, OSHA bloodborne pathogens training records 3 years, HIPAA training documentation 6 years. State law or your own policy can require longer.
- Personnel records. The EEOC’s recordkeeping requirements generally call for keeping personnel and employment records for one year, or one year from termination for an involuntarily terminated employee. For investigations, managers benefit from Assisting Workplace Investigations.
- HIPAA training. 45 CFR 164.530 requires covered entities to train new workforce members within a reasonable period, document it, and keep that documentation for six years.
- Bloodborne pathogens. 29 CFR 1910.1030 requires training at initial assignment and annually for exposed employees, with training records kept for 3 years. New Hire Orientation: Bloodborne Pathogens covers the first assignment.
Small employers on isolved also tend to need leave and pay basics for managers, such as FMLA: Employer Obligations and Fair Labor Standards Act for Managers, plus phishing awareness and Disability Awareness and Accessibility. Our audit checklist for small businesses helps you decide what belongs on the list.

What should isolved employers compare before they buy?
1. Contract ownership. Does the training survive a change of payroll partner?
2. Record export. Can you pull every completion and certificate yourself, today, without a ticket?
3. Catalog depth where you are exposed. Check the specific courses for your states and your OSHA risks, not the total course count.
4. Price you can see. Coggno publishes $5/user/month for Prime and $9.95 as the per-course floor, so you can compare it against a partner bundle line by line. Our guide to affordable compliance-ready LMS options shows how small employers budget.

Frequently Asked Questions About Compliance LMS Options for isolved Employers
What is the best compliance LMS for isolved employers?
For small and mid-size isolved employers, Coggno is a strong choice: it reads the isolved roster every 24 hours, assigns courses by department and location from 10,000+ compliance courses by 50+ content partners, and keeps the training contract in the employer’s name. Pricing starts at $9.95 per course or $5 per user per month on Coggno Prime.
How do small businesses handle compliance training when a partner runs payroll?
Small businesses typically let the payroll partner manage the HR system while keeping compliance training in a platform they control. Coggno fits that split: the roster syncs from the HR system, while course choices, completion records, and certificates stay with the employer, with 10,000+ pre-built courses and no internal content development.
Does isolved have its own LMS?
Yes. isolved Learn and Grow is an LMS that isolved says provides access to 95,000+ courses, along with configurable curricula, quizzes, and learning paths. Some employers use it; others add a compliance-specific catalog with state-by-state courses and published pricing.
Does the Coggno and isolved sync run in real time?
No. For isolved, employee data refreshes every 24 hours. The connection is read-only, covers five fields, and never writes back to isolved.
What happens to our training records if we change payroll partners?
If training runs in Coggno under your own account, the records stay where they are. Changing the partner who administers isolved, or changing HR systems entirely, does not delete completions or certificates.
How long should we keep compliance training records?
It depends on the rule. The EEOC generally requires personnel records for one year, HIPAA documentation must be kept for six years, and OSHA bloodborne pathogens training records for 3 years. Keep the longest period that applies to each course.
Is isolved sync included in every Coggno plan?
No. HRIS sync is included with Coggno Prime and Enterprise plans. À la carte customers can still upload rosters and assign courses manually.
