Guided questions on the online reporting form

The online reporting form now has five optional questions: the reporter’s relationship to the organisation, how they know about the issue, when it happened, whether they reported it before, and whether they fear or face retaliation. Handlers get the facts they need to assess the case at the start.

The online reporting form with the five optional guided questions opened

The questions are collapsed by default and every one can be skipped, so a reporter who wants to stay anonymous never has to give identifying details. Handlers see the answers on the case page and in the case PDF, and the reporter sees their own answers in the secure inbox.

Read-only access for auditors and legal counsel

You can now invite people with the viewer role. A viewer can read every case and the audit trail, but cannot change a case, the channel settings, billing or team members. Use it for internal auditors, external reviewers or legal counsel.

Viewers can also download the compliance documents, including the compliance report and the compliance certificate. Read how access control works in EthicsPortal.

Export all of your organisation's data

Administrators can now export all of the organisation’s data themselves, at any time. The ZIP file contains JSON files for the organisation, its members, the channel settings and every report with its messages and notes, plus all attachments. You can move your data to another system or archive it without asking us. This supports the right to data portability in Article 20 of the GDPR.

The export is generated in the background. Downloading it requires a fresh identity confirmation and is recorded in the audit trail, and the file is deleted after 7 days. Read about export and deletion.
