Frequently asked questions

Whistleblowing software, also known as anonymous reporting software or ethics reporting software, is a specialised tool or platform designed to facilitate the reporting and management of whistleblowing cases within organisations.

It provides a secure and confidential channel for individuals to report instances of misconduct, fraud, or unethical behaviour.

Our SpeakUp software solution  provides the necessary tools to start listening to anonymous voices from within the organisation. That is of paramount importance for organisations to transition to a culture where people feel free to report wrongdoings.

Not having a whistleblowing tool in place can pose several risks to an organisation. Whistleblowing tools are essential mechanisms that allow employees, customers, or other stakeholders to report misconduct, unethical behaviour, or any violations within the company.

Without such a tool, the following risks may arise: undetected misconduct, lack of transparency, negative work culture, or reputational damage.

A well-implemented whistleblowing tool promotes a culture of ethics, transparency, and accountability within an organisation, reducing the risk of financial losses, legal repercussions, and reputational harm.

It encourages employees and stakeholders to come forward with their concerns, enabling early detection and resolution of potential problems.

The SpeakUp whistleblowing platform helps your organisation detect internal wrongdoings early. Be in the know. Take action. Avoid things getting out of hand.

SpeakUp is a tool to help organisations to be compliant with the requirements of the European Whistleblower Protection Directive. SpeakUp complies with the requirements of the Directive for a secure and confidential internal reporting channel.

Organisations also need to check whether their other internal reporting channels and follow-up procedures meet the minimum requirements of the Directive.

Encryption is crucial for protecting of the reporter’s identity and company data. SpeakUp uses the highest level of encryption for your data at rest and in motion.

Multi-Factor Authentication (also known as two-factor authentication, or 2FA) is an authentication method that uses, in addition to a username and password, one or more tools to validate a user's identity.
