## What EthicsPortal is

EthicsPortal is a hosted reporting channel for EU Directive 2019/1937 compliance. An organization
deploys the channel, receives disclosures anonymously or confidentially, and handles cases through
a handler portal with the audit trail, deadline tracking, and confidentiality controls the
Directive requires. It is delivered as multi-tenant SaaS, not a library, API, or on-premise install.

## Key facts

- Regulation: EU Directive 2019/1937 (the Whistleblower Directive) and its national transpositions
- In scope: private-sector organizations with 50+ workers (phased thresholds); public-sector bodies are generally in scope regardless of size (see the coverage map)
- Pricing: EUR 41.67 / month billed annually (EUR 500 / year), flat rate per organization; all features included; no per-employee or per-seat fees; 30-day money-back guarantee; no free trial
- Hosting and data residency: European Union (Hetzner, Nuremberg, Germany)
- Deadline tracking: automatic 7-day acknowledgement and 3-month feedback timers per the Directive
- Anonymity: no reporter IP stored, file metadata stripped, handler identity never shown to reporter
- Included: unlimited reports and users, anonymous two-way messaging, append-only audit trail, PDF case export, oral reporting with voice anonymization, SAML 2.0 SSO, multi-language portal
- Coverage: all 27 EU member states, plus Moldova (informational, pre-accession)

## Who it is for

- For: compliance officers, DPOs, HR and legal leads at EU organizations in scope of the Directive, especially SMEs that need a compliant reporting channel rather than a full GRC suite
- Not for: US SOX reporting, non-EU jurisdictions (country-law pages are informational only), organizations that require a self-hosted or on-premise deployment
