How it works
Five steps from assessment to compliance
Every step has a defined input, a system action, a measurable output and a piece of proof it leaves behind. Nothing is taken on trust.
Onboard
Admin · about 10 minutesThe organisation registers, receives a unique Organisation ID, and invites employees by email or bulk upload. Headcount sets the price tier.
ProofOrganisation ID and a timestamped onboarding record in the audit log
Assess
Employee · about 25 minutesEach employee completes a timed, scenario-based paper of MCQs, fill-in-the-blanks, case studies and workplace simulations. Every answer is logged as it is submitted.
ProofPer-question timestamp, scenario ID and response trace
Score and certify
System · instantThe engine scores knowledge, recall, judgment and decisions. 80% or above certifies the individual. Below 80% triggers re-training and a free re-attempt.
ProofScore breakdown, audit log reference and a digital certificate at 80%+
Become POSH Ready
95% of staff at 80%+Readiness is recomputed after every submission. When 95% of employees hold a certificate, the organisation's status changes to POSH Ready automatically, with no manual override.

21 steps from complaint to archive
The buttons each person sees are generated from this path, so nobody can skip a step or act outside their role. The Presiding Officer, committee members and external member share every committee action, because the Act treats the committee as one body.

Section 19 duty register
Ten employer duties, each with the evidence behind it
This is the register an inspection asks for. A partially evidenced duty is not a breach, but its evidence would not survive being asked for, so Sentinel shows it before an inspector does.
| Section | Duty | What counts as evidence |
|---|---|---|
| 19(a) | Provide a safe working environment | A safety policy covering contractors, clients and visitors, and interim relief under section 12 |
| 19(b) | Display the penal consequences and the committee's constitution | Notices at every office and on the intranet |
| 19(c) | Organise awareness workshops for employees | Workshops held this year and who they covered |
| 19(c) | Orientation for Internal Committee members | Sessions held, members trained and the resource person |
| 19(d) | Provide facilities to the committee | A private room, secretarial support and a way to keep the record |
| 19(e) | Help secure attendance of the respondent and witnesses | Attendance directions routed through HR, refusals recorded |
| 19(f) | Make information available to the committee | Records produced on written request |
| 19(g) | Assist the complainant with a criminal complaint | A documented referral pathway |
| 19(h) | Treat sexual harassment as misconduct under service rules | Amended standing orders |
| 19(i) | Monitor timely reports by the committee | Inquiries tracked against 90 days and reports against 10 |

Quick answers
POSH Compass: quick answers
What is POSH Compass?
POSH Compass is Jijiwisha Society's digital platform that assesses employees' real understanding of the POSH Act through MCQs, recall questions, case studies and workplace simulations, and produces audit-ready evidence for every submission.
What score certifies an employee?
An employee is certified at 80% or above. Below 80% triggers re-training and a free re-attempt. There is no rounding up and no manual override.
When does an organisation become POSH Ready?
When 95% of its employees are certified with 80% or more. Readiness is recalculated after every submission, and reaching it unlocks audit booking.
How much does POSH Compass cost?
₹48 per employee for up to 30 employees, ₹36 for 31 to 100, ₹24 for 101 to 200 and ₹12 for 201 or more, for one full cycle. The whole headcount is billed at the tier it falls in, and re-attempts after re-training are free.
Who issues the POSH Compliance Certificate?
Jijiwisha Society, after a five-stage audit that verifies the organisation's process, documentation and Internal Committee and assembles a sealed evidence pack.
