Trusty Whistleblowing Solution

The WordPress plugin is free to install and use. It connects your site to Trusty, a paid whistleblowing service hosted in Germany. Every Trusty plan starts with a free 7-day trial, so you can try the solution before subscribing. After the trial, you choose a paid plan to keep your reporting channel active. See https://trusty.report/plans/ for current plans and pricing.

The EU Whistleblower Protection Directive requires many organizations to provide secure internal reporting channels, with specific obligations depending on company size, sector and national implementation. But a whistleblowing channel is not only a legal requirement. It gives employees and stakeholders a safe way to raise concerns before issues escalate. Protecting reporters, documenting follow-up, promoting a speak-up culture and resolving problems internally can help reduce the cost, disruption and reputational damage of misconduct or compliance failures.

When you sign up to Trusty, you will have your internal reporting channel set up in a matter of minutes, easier and faster than setting up an email account or telephone line. Trusty helps you receive reports, protect reporter confidentiality, document handling steps, manage follow-up and control access to sensitive information.

Trusty has two parts: a reporting channel for whistleblowers and a case management tool for your team. The reporting channel is a secure web page where employees and stakeholders can submit reports anonymously or identified, depending on their choice and your configuration. Reporters can access a private inbox for secure follow-up communication with your designated responders. The case management tool lets you categorize reports, track status and follow-up, set retention periods, write notes, attach files and communicate securely with reporters.
