How it works

What is whistleblowing software?

Whistleblowing software, sometimes called a whistleblowing system or whistleblower software, gives workers a secure, always-available channel to report wrongdoing such as fraud, safety risks, harassment, bribery or data misuse. It gives the organisation a structured way to receive, investigate and resolve those reports while protecting the person who raised them.

Reporting rarely fails at the report. It fails afterwards.

Most organisations have some way to raise a concern: an email address, a form, a manager’s door. The trouble starts once a report arrives.

  1. 01

    Nobody can ask a follow-up question

    An anonymous email or form is one-way. If the concern is vague, there is no safe way to ask what happened, when, or who else saw it.

  2. 02

    Nobody clearly owns it

    Reports land in a shared inbox or with whoever was copied in. Days pass before anyone acknowledges the person who spoke up.

  3. 03

    The record has to be rebuilt

    When the board, an auditor or a tribunal asks what was done, the answer is scattered across emails, spreadsheets and memory.

1Report

A reporting channel people will actually use

People only speak up through a channel they trust and can find. Disclosurely gives you a branded reporting portal that works on any phone or computer, with nothing to install and no account for the reporter to create.

Anonymous by default
No name, email or account is requested. Reporters can include contact details in their report if they choose to.
Finish later
Reporters can save a draft and come back to it before they submit.
Your portal, your name
Add your branding and use a custom domain such as yourcompany.com/report.
Easy to share
Put the link or a QR code on posters, noticeboards, the intranet and staff handbooks.

2Follow up

Ask questions without asking who they are

Most concerns arrive incomplete. Every report has a secure two-way conversation: your team asks for detail, and the reporter returns with their tracking ID and access secret to read messages and reply. Every message stays on the case, not in someone’s personal inbox.

Good to know: Reporters do not receive email alerts, because the portal does not ask for an email address. Encourage them to check back using their tracking ID.

3Investigate

Every report becomes a case with an owner

Reports arrive in one dashboard, not a shared inbox. From there, your team can see what needs attention, decide who handles it and keep everything about the case together.

4Record

A record you can stand behind

Disclosurely logs case activity, including reports submitted, messages sent, status changes and assignments, with what changed and when. Your team can filter and export the log, but cannot edit or delete entries. When someone asks what happened and when, you export the history instead of reconstructing it.

  • Before-and-after change history
  • Filterable activity log
  • Export as CSV or JSON

A clear view of the whole programme. Analytics show report volume, categories, open workload and response times, so leaders can see whether the channel is working and where cases are getting stuck.

That’s the whole journey, from first report to final record.

Security and confidentiality

Confidentiality built into how it works

Whistleblowing reports are some of the most sensitive information an organisation holds. These are the controls in place today, explained in plain English.

  • Team-only access

    Only the admins and case handlers you add to your team can open reports. Case handlers can see every report in your organisation, so keep that group small.

  • Encrypted data

    Data is protected in transit with TLS and encrypted at rest.

  • EU hosting

    Core case data is stored in the European Union.

  • Sign-in protection

    Team members can protect their accounts with multi-factor authentication using an authenticator app.

  • Export and deletion

    Handle data export and deletion requests from your organisation settings.

  • AI with clear limits

    AI runs only when a case handler starts it, for the AI Assistant or translation. It is processed by Amazon Web Services (Amazon Bedrock) in London, and personal details in report text are not removed. AI does not decide outcomes.

Our Security Centre sets out what is in place and what is still on the way, including single sign-on and certifications in progress.

Law and obligations

What the law expects, and where software fits

Software supports a whistleblowing process. It does not replace your policy, your people or legal advice. Here is a short summary of the rules most UK and European organisations work within.

United Kingdom

  • Workers are protected from detriment, and employees from unfair dismissal, for making a protected disclosure under the Employment Rights Act 1996, as amended by the Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998.
  • A protected disclosure is information the worker reasonably believes shows wrongdoing, such as a crime, a breach of a legal obligation or a danger to health and safety, and that sharing it is in the public interest.
  • Since 6 April 2026, this can include sexual harassment. The public interest test still applies.
  • Employers are not legally required to have a whistleblowing policy, but government guidance recommends one. Some regulated firms, such as those covered by the FCA’s SYSC 18 rules, have specific requirements.
Protected disclosures explained

Official sources

European Union

  • Under the EU Whistleblowing Directive, as implemented by each member state, private organisations with 50 or more workers must have internal reporting channels. Some countries extend this to smaller organisations.
  • Reports must be acknowledged within seven days, with feedback within a reasonable timeframe of no more than three months.
  • Reporting must be possible in writing, orally or both, and reporters can ask for a meeting in person.
  • The reporter’s identity must stay with authorised staff unless they give explicit consent or the law requires disclosure.
  • The Directive covers breaches of EU law in specific areas. National laws often go further, and each country decides whether anonymous reports must be followed up.

FAQ

Whistleblowing software FAQs

What is whistleblowing software?

Whistleblowing software gives workers a secure channel to report wrongdoing without having to give their name, and gives the organisation one place to acknowledge, investigate and resolve those reports. Unlike an email address or a basic form, it supports two-way follow-up with anonymous reporters, assigns each case to an owner and keeps a record of what was done.

Is whistleblowing software a legal requirement in the UK?

Not as a general rule. Government guidance says employers are not legally required to have a whistleblowing policy, although it recommends one. Workers who make protected disclosures are protected by law whether or not you have a policy, and some regulated firms, such as those covered by the FCA’s SYSC 18 rules, have specific requirements. If your group has entities in EU countries, local laws implementing the EU Whistleblowing Directive may apply to them, so take advice on each country.

GOV.UK guidance for employers (opens in a new tab)
Is every complaint a whistleblowing disclosure?

No. Under UK law, a protected disclosure must be information the worker reasonably believes shows a specified type of wrongdoing, made in the public interest. Personal grievances, such as a dispute about your own pay or treatment, are usually handled under grievance or harassment policies unless the case is in the public interest. Since 6 April 2026, disclosures about sexual harassment can also qualify, but the public interest test still applies. Many organisations let people raise any concern through one confidential channel and have trained handlers decide which procedure applies.

GOV.UK: whistleblowing for employees (opens in a new tab)
Can anonymous reporters be identified?

Disclosurely does not ask reporters for a name, email address or account. Some technical information, such as browser details, may be recorded in activity logs, and anonymity can also be affected by what a report says, for example by describing an event only one person witnessed, so reporters should think about the details they include.

How does Disclosurely help with the EU Whistleblowing Directive?

Where the Directive applies, it expects secure internal channels, acknowledgement within seven days, feedback within three months, an impartial person to follow up and confidentiality for the reporter. Disclosurely supports these with a secure portal, two-way messaging, case assignment, status tracking, role-based access and an audit log. Other requirements, such as offering oral reporting or a meeting on request, depend on your own arrangements and national law, so software alone does not make an organisation compliant.

How much does Disclosurely cost?

Pro costs £39.99 per month or £399.90 per year, and the reporting channel is available to your whole workforce with no per-employee pricing. You can try it first with a 14-day free trial, and no credit card is required.

View pricing
Is there a free trial?

Yes. Pro includes a 14-day free trial and you don’t need a credit card to start. Set up your reporting portal, submit a test report and work through a case before you decide.

What does setting up involve?

There is nothing to install. You create an account, add your branding and report categories, invite the people who will handle cases, then share your portal link or QR code with employees. You can also connect a custom domain if you want the portal on your own web address.

Who should handle reports internally?

Reports are usually handled by a small group in compliance, HR, legal or senior management who are trained, impartial and not involved in the matters reported. Only the people you add to your Disclosurely team can see reports, so keep that team to those people, and assignment makes it clear who is responsible for each case.

How is this different from a hotline or an anonymous form?

A hotline or form captures the first message. Whistleblowing software also lets you reply to an anonymous reporter, assigns the case to an owner, keeps evidence and decisions in one case file and records the activity for later review. Without those steps, follow-up tends to drift into email and spreadsheets.
