Global Whistleblower Regulatory Standards
OpenSay delivers statutory compliance across US, EU, and international whistleblower frameworks without clunky third-party web portals.
EU Directive 2019/1937
Mandates secure internal reporting channels with guaranteed confidentiality for all companies with 50+ employees in EU member states (HinSchG, Loi Waserman).
US SOX Section 301
Requires publicly traded companies to maintain confidential, anonymous reporting systems for auditing, accounting, and internal control irregularities.
ISO 37002 Standard
Aligns with global international guidelines for establishing, implementing, and maintaining effective whistleblowing management systems.
GDPR & Data Minimization
One-way cryptographic hashing and zero database log retention ensure employee identities are never stored on external databases, fully preserving data privacy.
For Whistleblowers & Employees
100% Confidential Reporting Without Retaliation Risk
Observed financial fraud, sexual harassment, safety hazards, or ethical misconduct? You no longer have to navigate intimidating external websites or worry about corporate IT tracking your web session.
- Type /whisper: Open the confidential reporting dialog anywhere in Slack.
- Identity Privacy Toggle: Choose whether to remain 100% anonymous or reveal your identity to designated compliance officers.
- Two-Way Threaded Dialogue: Reviewers can ask clarifying questions and request evidence without ever seeing your identity.
For Compliance & Legal Officers
Audit-Ready Case Triage Directly in Slack
Traditional hotline software (Navex, Whispli) costs tens of thousands of dollars per year and suffers from near-zero adoption. OpenSay enables compliant reporting right where employees communicate every day.
- Dedicated Reviewer Channels: Route confidential reports directly into restricted, private Slack channels for legal and HR review.
- Audit-Proof Timestamps: Track report receipt, acknowledgment timelines, and case resolution milestones.
- Zero External Retention: OpenSay never stores decrypted report bodies on external databases.
