Whistleblower Software

Whistleblower Software gives companies and law firms a configurable web channel for whistleblowing reports and a system to manage the resulting cases. It is strongest for organizations that need anonymous follow-up and structured workflows; its employee-banded subscription is less suited to teams seeking free or self-hosted software.

Overview

Organizations can accept confidential or anonymous reports through a shared link or QR code, then continue communicating with reporters after submission, including anonymously. That ability to ask follow-up questions without requiring a reporter to identify themselves is central to the product’s appeal.

Intake can include file uploads and Report By Voice. Teams can tailor the reporting page, questions, policies, and branding, and create individual links for departments or branches. This makes the system adaptable to different internal reporting routes, but organizations that need only a basic reporting inbox may not need this degree of configuration.

Key features

Case handling

Case overviews, automatic delegation, access controls, deadline reminders, statistics, and workflow automation help teams assign and track reports after they arrive. These tools make the product a better fit for organizations with an ongoing case-handling process than for those that only need a channel for receiving disclosures.

Security and compliance

The vendor says reports are end-to-end encrypted, with case data visible only to the encryption key holder. It cites ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and an ISAE 3000 Type 2 report, and says data and backups are stored with AWS in Frankfurt on ISO 27001-certified hosting servers. The system is designed to support compliance with the EU Whistleblower Protection Directive, US SOX Act Section 301, and other laws and codes. Those credentials and design goals may matter to compliance teams, but they do not replace an organization’s own assessment of its legal and security requirements.

Support and setup

The pricing page says the system supports more than 80 languages and customer support is offered in 12. Technical setup with consultants takes approximately 45 minutes, and the product page offers a 14-day trial. Paid add-ons include international entity management and a dedicated phone hotline; customers must contact the vendor for details.

Pricing

There is no free plan. Core starts at €99 a month, billed annually, for organizations with 0–49 employees. Pricing rises with employee range: €149 a month for 50–149, 199.00 EUR for 150–249, 249.00 EUR for 250–499, and 349.00 EUR for 500–999 employees, all billed annually. Core for 1,000+ employees has custom pricing.

Advanced costs €149 a month for 0–49 employees, 219.00 EUR for 50–149, 299.00 EUR for 150–249, and 379.00 EUR for 250–499, all billed annually. The Advanced price for larger ranges is custom. It adds SAML 2.0, SCIM 2.0, custom contracts and DPA, a dedicated customer success manager, and an SLA over Core. Core is the more economical fit if those additions are not needed; organizations requiring those identity-management or service terms will need Advanced.

Both plans are priced by employee range, so organizations should match their coverage to the applicable band. The 14-day trial gives prospective customers a short period to assess fit before committing to an annual billing term.

Platforms

Whistleblower Software runs on the web. Readers who require a listed Android or iOS app should consider an alternative with mobile support.

Who it's for

The product suits companies and law firms that need anonymous or confidential intake, tailored reporting routes, and managed case follow-up. Its partner program is aimed at legal advisors and compliance consultants. Smaller organizations can use the entry Core band, while larger organizations should weigh the rising employee-based price against the need for Advanced features or add-ons. It is a weaker match for buyers who need a free plan, self-hosting, or mobile apps.

Verdict

Choose Whistleblower Software if your organization needs configurable anonymous reporting, continued reporter communication, and practical tools for managing cases in one web system. Its strongest reason to buy is the combination of tailored intake and structured follow-up. Look elsewhere if a free or self-hosted system, mobile apps, or a lower employee-banded price matters more than that combination.
