Security in every layer

Security and privacy built into the whole platform

The same controls protect every part of 5Mins, from who can open a report to how AI uses your documents.

Control who sees what, role by role

  • Admins, Team Managers, and Subject Experts each get the access their role needs
  • Choose whether managers see all enrollments or just their own team
  • Decide which instructors and skills appear, apply your branding, and control downloads

"When a new starter joins, I add them and the right training is assigned by department and role. Monthly reports go straight to department leads, so I no longer chase people individually."

Cassidy BanksCassidy BanksRisk and Compliance Manager, Loqbox

Example settings

Every change on record, ready for any audit

  • The audit log shows who changed course settings, enrollments, and users, and when
  • Filter by time, user, and type, and check each course's Settings History
  • Learning Records keep every enrollment with full history, even for people who have left

Example audit log

One sign-in, with users always in sync

  • People sign in with your company SSO, using SAML or OIDC
  • SCIM from Google Workspace or Microsoft Entra ID, or CSV sync, keeps users up to date
  • 100+ HRIS platforms sync joiners, leavers, and deactivations every day

"We had three separate training systems, and none could answer one simple question: what training do I need for my role? We launched company-wide with single sign-on, 20,000+ bite-sized lessons, and career paths people can see."

Beatriz Helena Faraco PinhoBeatriz Helena Faraco PinhoGlobal Learning & Development Manager, dLocal
