We are delighted to share the exciting news that Sponge Group has acquired Idox Compliance, one of Europe’s leading providers of compliance elearning solutions.

With offices in Berlin and Brussels, Sponge Group will now have an operating presence in the EU, enabling further growth and strengthening our library of market leading, ready-to-go compliance-related content.

Idox Compliance employs 50 team members serving over 100 clients which include international blue-chip companies, public and private organisations, corporations, and SMEs across broad industry sectors in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and the rest of Europe.

Their portfolio of over 150 modules, in multiple languages, is focused on the provision of current and reliable compliance training, engaging a variety of elearning formats that can be used off-the-shelf or specifically tailored. In addition, Idox Compliance supports its clients through consulting services on risk analysis, code of conduct, and compliance culture.

Michael Kayser, Managing Director of Idox Compliance said: "We are looking forward to joining an emerging leader in the elearning space and being a key part of their strategy for growth. We are excited at the prospect of being able to offer a broader range of digital learning solutions to our existing customers."
