EU Directive 2019/1937

The ethics hotline the EU requires

Legally required since Dec 2023 for every EU organization >50 employees. Secure internal channel, anonymous, with automatic deadlines + anti-retaliation — aligned with Sapin II + Waserman + Directive 2019/1937.

Why a real reporting channel

EU Directive 2019/1937 demands more than an email address: anonymity, deadlines and whistleblower protection.

A legal duty since 2023

Every EU organization above 50 employees must run a secure internal channel — failing to exposes you to sanctions and voids any retaliation.

A generic mailbox won't do

A plain email guarantees neither the anonymity, the 7-day acknowledgement, nor the anti-retaliation protection the directive requires.

Deadlines can't be tracked by hand

7 days to acknowledge, 3 months to respond: without automation, a forgotten report becomes a legal risk.

Dedicated tools are expensive

OneTrust Convercent, NAVEX EthicsPoint charge €30-80K/year for what the directive makes mandatory.

6 compliance pillars

Anonymous by default

One-time token for anonymous follow-up. No IP logging. No identifying metadata. Compliant with CNIL delivered guidance.

Auto deadline tracking (Art. 9)

7-day acknowledgement + 3-month feedback deadlines automatically enforced. Overdue alerts on the BCM dashboard.

Two-way anonymous chat

The reporter can add info, the investigator can ask questions — all through the token, keeping identity protected.

Case management + investigation workflow
