Cornerstone OnDemand

Talent management and learning platform (Cornerstone Learning) for enterprise training, compliance learning, and skills development.

Cornerstone OnDemand, founded in 1999 and headquartered in Santa Monica, California, provides a talent management and learning suite — spanning corporate learning, compliance training, content, and AI-driven skills and career development — used by large regulated enterprises including life-sciences organizations for onboarding and ongoing training. The company has been privately held under Clearlake Capital ownership since 2021. Its own security page documents that Cornerstone is FedRAMP Authorized and holds DoD Impact Level 4 (IL4) authorization for Talent and Learning Management (2024); no SOC 2 or ISO security certification was confirmable from its public security page within the review window, so current audit reports should be requested directly.
