NINJIO Announces Strategic Partnership with Emtrain to Expand Workforce Compliance and Culture Training

NINJIO, a cybersecurity awareness training company, has announced a strategic partnership with Emtrain, a workplace compliance and culture training platform to better reduce human risk.

LOS ANGELES, March 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- NINJIO, a leading cybersecurity awareness training and human risk management solution, today announced a strategic partnership with Emtrain, a pioneer in workplace compliance and culture training. The partnership expands NINJIO's training ecosystem and drives business process consolidation by introducing Emtrain's behavioral science-driven HR compliance, ethics, and inclusion courses to organizations seeking modern and engaging workforce training solutions that reduce human risk.

Partnership at a Glance

• Companies: NINJIO cybersecurity awareness training and Emtrain
• Focus: Workforce training, compliance training, and cybersecurity awareness
• Training topics: harassment prevention, business ethics, data privacy, workplace culture, cybersecurity awareness
• Target organizations: enterprise, mid-market, and growing companies seeking engaging workforce education
• Training approach: behavior-focused learning through modern, video-driven training programs

"Today's world needs more than check-the-box training," said Matt Lindley, Chief Innovation and Information Security Officer of NINJIO. "Our mission has always been to change employee behavior through engaging education. By partnering with Emtrain, we can extend the philosophy that has always driven us beyond cybersecurity into HR compliance, business ethics, and workplace culture. This allows our customers to deliver meaningful training that actually improves how employees work together and make decisions."

Compliance training requirements are expanding globally as organizations face increasing regulatory complexity related to cybersecurity awareness, harassment prevention, workplace conduct, data privacy, and ethics programs. At the same time, many companies struggle with traditional compliance training that fails to engage employees or influence real workplace behavior.

Emtrain addresses this challenge with a modern training platform built around applied learning, behavioral science, and real-world workplace scenarios, just like NINJIO is. Its programs help organizations meet regulatory requirements while developing practical skills employees can use in everyday workplace interactions.

"Most compliance training simply delivers legal information," said Janine Yancey, Founder and CEO of Emtrain. "Our approach is different. We teach the human skills behind compliance. Employees learn how to navigate difficult workplace situations, speak up constructively, and build healthier workplace cultures. Partnering with NINJIO allows us to bring this model to organizations that already value engaging, behavior-changing training based on the science of learning and human behavior."

Through the partnership, NINJIO customers can gain access to Emtrain's library of workplace compliance and culture courses covering topics such as preventing workplace harassment, business ethics and code of conduct, anti-bribery and corruption compliance, data privacy and regulatory training, inclusion and respectful workplace practices, and conflict resolution and bystander intervention.

The Emtrain platform also provides behavioral analytics and insights that help organizations identify cultural trends, potential risk areas, and opportunities to strengthen workplace culture.
