Cornerstone OnDemand for Government
What’s different in government
Section 508 and WCAG 2.1 AA: the baseline
Federal and state agencies must meet Section 508. We build for 508 from the start, and content ships with a VPAT-ready posture. Courses that fail on first submission don’t ship.
Saba and SumTotal history has to survive
DoD agencies and state systems have years of records in Saba, now part of Cornerstone’s own product family. We’ve run migrations where timestamps from five years back still need to be defensible.
Everything the IG can reconstruct
When an Inspector General asks for completion data, audit trail integrity (who completed what, when, under which course version) gets maintained as a matter of course.
How we work in the public sector
The engine validates compliance assignments and monitors audit trail integrity around the clock. It flags configuration drift before it creates a gap in a learner’s record and catches integration errors with your HR system of record.
Our Certified Cornerstone Experts own every decision that touches your environment. We work inside whatever access scope your security team defines: least privilege, reviewed periodically, documented. If they need to audit our access log, we expect it.
We don’t make FedRAMP claims we can’t back. Our trust page describes how we handle data, manage access, and govern AI-assisted work.
