Compliance training and oversight platform

Prove your compliance training worked

Regulators no longer ask whether you trained your people. They ask whether it worked. VYKN delivers jurisdiction-specific AML and regulatory training, measures whether it landed, and gives compliance officers and boards the evidence they are now required to produce.

Built by practitioners with 140+ years in financial services. Trusted by regulated firms in the Cayman Islands, the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands and Hong Kong.

The problem

Completion certificates are not evidence. Your regulator already knows it.

Most compliance training still produces one number: who finished. FATF's effectiveness standard, UK and EU supervisors and your own board now ask a harder question, and a learning management system was never built to answer it.

One platform, two product lines

Train with VYKN Academy. Prove it with VYKN Assure.

Training fails for two reasons: people did not know, or people did not care. Content fixes the first. Only measurement and accountability fix the second. VYKN does both on one platform, one login and one record, so what learners understand feeds straight into what the board can see.

VYKNAcademy

Compliance training written to your jurisdiction's obligations, not a global average

  • Jurisdiction-specific AML, CFT, CPF, sanctions, whistleblowing, complaints and cybersecurity training
  • Scenario-based decisions, delivered as a series through the year rather than one annual module
  • Hosted on VYKN, or licensed as SCORM content for your own LMS
  • Professional education, led by an MSc in regulatory compliance
VYKNAssure

Global oversight. Verified effectiveness.

  • Completion and deadline-risk dashboards by team, manager, entity and jurisdiction
  • An accountability hierarchy that puts managers inside the record
  • Exception reports, audit trails and board packs that stand up to an inspection
  • Effectiveness scoring powered by TECS, our AI measurement model
Platform tour

One record, from the learner's decision to the board pack

The same data, seen four ways. Switch between the screens a learner, a manager, an MLRO and a board member use.

AI across the platform

AI in the content, in the oversight and inside TECS

VYKN uses AI for three jobs, and a practitioner stays accountable for every one of them. Nothing a learner, a manager or a board sees is generated and left unchecked.

In the content

Regulatory change, found and drafted faster

  • AI-driven horizon screening across the jurisdictions we cover, flagging changes to law, guidance and supervisory expectation
  • Course updates and new scenarios drafted against the obligation library, then validated by the content team before release
  • Recommendations for which courses a firm needs next, by role, sector and jurisdiction
In the oversight

An assistant that answers with evidence

  • Permission-aware assistance inside VYKN Assure: ask where the risk is and get the answer with the records behind it
  • At-risk and recalcitrant learners surfaced while they are still a training problem, with suggested intervention
  • Board packs assembled from live data in seconds, exportable and auditable
Inside TECS

The measurement model behind the effectiveness score

  • Calibrates each learner's baseline so speed and ability are not mistaken for attention
  • Infers comprehension and attentiveness from how learners read, decide and recall, not from completion alone
  • Produces the effectiveness index for the learner and the organisation, and shows each what to change

How VYKN uses AI, and how it is governed

Powered by TECS

The first training effectiveness score that travels beyond the platform that produced it

TECS, the Training Effectiveness and Comprehension Solution, scores whether training worked, for each learner and for the organisation. It runs inside both product lines and is licensed to other platforms and providers.

How TECS works

BaselineA fair reading and response baseline for each learner
VerifyUnderstanding tested during and immediately after training
RetestRetention measured weeks and months later
IndexAn effectiveness score for the learner and the organisation
Why now

The regulatory standard has moved from completion to effectiveness

The regulator

FATF's fifth round of evaluations weighs effectiveness over technical compliance. UK and EU supervisors expect demonstrable outcomes, individual accountability and evidence of oversight.

The buyer

The decision now sits with the compliance officer and the board. The question is no longer whether staff completed a course, but whether the firm can evidence that the training was effective.

The evidence

Completion proves attendance. Understanding and accountability protect the firm. VYKN turns training performance into a record a board can act on and a regulator can follow.

Built for compliance teams

One record. Four people who need it.

The learner answers, the manager is accountable, the MLRO sees the exceptions, and the board gets the pack. Nobody re-keys anything.

Board and senior management

Live oversight of completion, scores and overdue training across every entity and jurisdiction, with a board pack that stands up to a regulator.

MLRO and compliance officer

Jurisdiction-specific content mapped to regulator expectations, exception reports, deferrals with audit notes and inspection-ready registers.

Head of financial crime

Evidence that front-line staff can recognise and escalate risk, and the names of those who cannot yet.

Learners

Short scenario-based decisions drawn from real cases, delivered in a series across the year, on desktop, tablet and mobile.

Solutions by sector

Built for regulated firms and DNFBPs

The obligations differ by sector and jurisdiction. So does the content.

Banking and payments

Front-line recognition and escalation, correspondent and payments risk, sanctions screening decisions, and oversight by branch, desk and country.
