The VIPRE Catalog Is Now in Empath: Stop Paying Extra for MSP Compliance Training

Written by Nia Rabanes | Feb 9, 2026 4:10:20 PM

For most MSPs, compliance training is usually a grudge purchase.

While you recognize that courses for harassment prevention or security awareness are important, you usually buy them because your cyber insurance carrier or state laws demand it.

So, you pay a third-party vendor and force your team to log into a separate portal they will visit once a year. You chase them to finish, and you pay a monthly fee for the privilege of checking a box.

It feels like a tax on your business. At Empath, we’re eliminating that tax.

We are proud to announce that the entire VIPRE Inspired eLearning course catalog is now in Empath.

That means you no longer need a separate vendor for the mandatory training.

But the real value isn’t just the money you save. It’s the friction you remove. Here is exactly what you get, and how it changes your entire training flow starting today.


The Case for Consolidation   

Run a quick audit of your software stack. How many per-user subscriptions are you carrying right now?

Among other things, sitting at the bottom of the list is your compliance training vendor. You are paying extra for a standalone platform that serves a critical but limited purpose. While the training is necessary, managing it as a separate line item creates financial and operational drag.

This is where the opportunity for efficiency lies. Consolidating the VIPRE library into Empath lets you eliminate that extra line item entirely.

Why spend a premium just to survive an audit when you could use that same budget to actually grow?

What You Actually Get (The Full Enterprise Library) 

We acquired the rights to the full Inspired eLearning catalog, the same award-winning content used by enterprise organizations to satisfy auditors and insurance carriers.

This library covers every major compliance vertical an MSP touches. You get immediate access to hundreds of courses across three critical pillars:

  • Security Awareness: Go beyond the basics with courses like Cyber Quest: Phishing and A Day In the Life: Security Awareness Best Practices. This includes role-based training specifically designed for IT professionals, not just end-users.
  • HR & Workplace Culture: Meet state mandates without hunting for a separate vendor. The catalog includes Sexual Harassment: Maintaining a Respectful Workplace and Code of Conduct modules, covering the essential HR topics required to maintain a compliant environment.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Whether you support healthcare, retail, or EU clients, the library has you covered with deep dives into HIPAA/HITECH Privacy for Business Associates, PCI DSS, and GDPR: Navigating the GDPR for US Organisations.

 These courses use the SCORM format, including interactive modules such as slides, quizzes, and checkpoints that require your team to click and engage to progress. It’s the rigid standard insurance carriers demand, embedded right where your team already works.

Content is Useless Without Accountability 

Access to a library doesn't solve your problem.

The real value of this integration is that the VIPRE catalog is now powered by the Empath engine.

Because these courses live natively in our platform, you can apply the same rigorous management tools to compliance that you use for technical training:

  • Equip Every Role: Compliance isn't just an IT problem. With Empath, you can build specific Learning Pathways for every role in your MSP. Assign Handling Complaints for Supervisors to your HR team, Information Security for Executives to your leadership, and PCI Essentials for Account Data Handlers and Supervisors to your finance staff. A fully equipped team where everyone knows their specific lane is your strongest defense.
  • Build the Ultimate Pathway: Compliance shouldn't live in a silo. With Empath, you can mix and match resources to build a complete curriculum. Combine a VIPRE module with a technical course from our own expert library, a vendor certification video, or a YouTube clip. Then, use our Recorder to wrap it all in your own context. What you’re able to do is build a comprehensive guide that covers the tool, the rule, and the reason.
  • Audit-Ready in Seconds: When an insurance auditor asks for proof, you shouldn't have to scramble through spreadsheets. Empath makes assignment effortless. And when you need to prove compliance, the data is already there, living alongside your daily operations. You have total management control without the administrative headache.

This integration effectively automates the compliance lifecycle. You set the rules once, who needs what training and when, and the system handles the rest. Your team stays compliant, your insurance stays valid, and you get your time back.

Upgrade Your Team 

The courses are live. The integration is seamless. The extra bill is gone.

You no longer have to choose between protecting your business with compliance and growing it with technical training. With Empath, you do both on the same dashboard.
