| Fact | CompassDocs | Component HR Portal |
|---|---|---|
| Integrations | The product lists a Claude connector, Microsoft 365 and Entra sync, Google Workspace directory sync, and notifications through Webex, Teams, Slack, email, or webhooks. | The portal can connect to selected payroll, identity, calendar, and messaging providers where their APIs and the agreed setup support the workflow; exact data, actions, and any provider fees depend on the integration. |
| Purpose | CompassDocs is a self-hosted team knowledge base for writing, organizing, and searching SOPs, technical documentation, policies, and internal knowledge. | The HR portal brings employee records, requests, approvals, documents, policies, lifecycle actions, and employment history into one workspace. |
| Security | The feature page states that credentials and backups are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM, session tokens are hashed, and login throttling and security headers are included. | The maker says it uses Amazon Web Services as its datacenter and Stripe to process and store payment details. |
| Support | The Community plan includes GitHub community support, while Enterprise offers optional dedicated support with a 48-hour response commitment for $3,000 per year. | Enterprise pricing includes tailored support for the organization. |
