This is how it works

There is also an admin part that only a few administrators have access to.
For the whistleblower
For the whistleblower
- Before a whistleblower makes a report, they receive information about the legal aspects. During the process, there are also help texts available explaining how everything works, what to expect, the rights they have, and what falls under the whistleblower protection law
- The whistleblower describes what has happened and can also upload images, videos, or other documents
- The whistleblower remains completely anonymous throughout the entire process and can choose whether they want only a personal code for their case or also receive emails. The code can be used to log in to their case to check the status or add more information. Even if an email is provided, the reporter remains completely anonymous/li>
For the administrator
For the administrator
- The administrator receives the case and can read the reports that have been submitted, download any files, upload their own documents, and communicate with the whistleblower
- Full anonymity is maintained throughout the entire process. An administrator can never see who the whistleblower is. Secure handling, even if the report is submitted via email
- Clear Overview. The service provides an overview of all new and ongoing cases as well as their history. All activities are logged for tracking the process
Legal Support – Third-Party Support
- If your organization cannot or does not wish to handle cases on its own, we offer the option to use third-party support
- This means that you can add a service to our whistleblower solution where an independent party, such as a law firm, assists you with complete impartiality in the handling
- These experts perform the initial assessment and can also take responsibility for continuing the investigation depending on the nature of the case
What is whistleblowing?
Whistleblowing is a process where someone reports misconduct or irregularities to an authority, the media, or internally within an organization.
The person making the report is often someone from the organization’s surroundings or an employee. Reports can cover issues such as corruption, environmental violations, money laundering, and other improper activities within an organization.
