About the client

Our client, a software development company specializing in digital business solutions, needed to develop a platform to help organizations comply with whistleblower protection legislation. Based on the EU Whistleblower Directive, the law requires secure channels for whistleblowers to report misconduct. The client aimed for a solution that would meet these regulatory requirements while offering user-friendly tools to manage and track whistleblower reports efficiently.

Business challenge

The client faced the challenge of developing a platform that adhered to the strict legal frameworks of whistleblower protection laws. The system needed to:

Ensure confidential and anonymous reporting by whistleblowers.
Provide administrative tools to help organizations manage, track, and respond to reports.
Be accessible as both a mobile app and a web-based platform, ensuring usability across various devices.

Additionally, the platform had to be flexible enough to cater to the specific needs of different clients and industries, with an initial rollout planned for two early adopters.

Our solution

We implemented a system based on the EU Whistleblower Protection Directive, ensuring that both mobile and web platforms were compliant with the regulations. The project involved customizing an existing codebase to create a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) and implementing essential features for whistleblower management.

Secure Whistleblower Reporting:
The platform facilitated secure and anonymous submission of reports, ensuring compliance with GDPR and whistleblower protection laws.
Administrative Tools:
The system provided organizations with tools to manage, track, and respond to whistleblower reports, including customizable workflows to suit different organizational needs.
Mobile App Development:
The platform was extended to mobile users, offering the same level of security and functionality as the web version, ensuring whistleblowers could report from any device.
Backend Development:
The backend infrastructure was optimized to handle sensitive whistleblower data securely and efficiently, ensuring compliance with GDPR and legal standards for data protection.
