WHISTLEBLOWER SERVICE: GENERAL QUESTIONSAbout Whistlelink

What is Whistlelink?

Whistlelink is a secure online whistleblowing system that enables organisations to provide a safe and confidential way for employees and other stakeholders to report wrongdoing.

Why choose Whistlelink ?

Whistlelink is an all-in-one whistleblowing system for managing internal reports securely and efficiently. It is quick to set up, easy to use and includes structured case management for seamless handling of reports.

Built with security at its core, Whistlelink helps organisations provide confidential reporting channels, anonymous two-way communication and clear documentation. It supports organisations working with the EU Whistleblowing Directive, UK whistleblowing law and national whistleblower protection laws.

Who is Whistlelink for?

Whistlelink is designed for organisations that need a secure and trusted internal reporting process. This includes public and private organisations working with EU whistleblowing requirements, UK whistleblowing law, national whistleblower protection laws or multi-country reporting setups.

It is used by compliance teams, HR, legal departments, leadership teams and external advisors who need a confidential reporting channel and a structured way to manage whistleblowing cases.

HOW WHISTLELINK WORKSProduct

How do we install Whistlelink?

Whistlelink requires no installation—just create an account and gain instant access to your whistleblowing platform. Try it risk-free with 30 days of free access to explore its features and see how it works for your organisation.

Is Whistlelink compliant with the EU Whistleblowing Directive?

Yes, when an organisation implements Whistlelink and aligns it with its whistleblowing policy, it will meet the requirements of the EU Whistleblowing Directive.

Additionally, Whistlelink is designed to support compliance with national whistleblower protection laws across EU member states, ensuring a secure and structured approach to handling whistleblower reports.

Does the EU Whistleblowing Directive apply in the UK?

No. The UK is not subject to the EU Whistleblowing Directive. UK whistleblowing protection is based on the UK legal framework, including PIDA and rules on protected disclosures. Organisations operating in both the UK and the EU should make sure their whistleblowing process reflects both frameworks.

What changed in UK whistleblowing law in 2026?

Since 6 April 2026, sexual harassment has been expressly included as a qualifying disclosure under UK whistleblowing law. This makes it important for UK employers to review their whistleblowing policies, internal reporting channels and case handling processes.

Can Whistlelink be customised to our needs?

Yes! With a Flex or Premium plan, you can customise your whistleblowing site to match your organisation’s needs. Add your own logo and branding, tailor questionnaires, and adjust texts for a fully branded and seamless reporting experience.

PRICING & PLAN QUESTIONSPricing

What is the difference between the plans?

All plans provide the same high level of security and the essential features for an effective whistleblower system. More advanced plans include more customisation options, more languages, additional admin users, and monthly monitoring reports to better fit your organisation’s needs.

What payment methods does Whistlelink offer?

Whistlelink offers annual invoicing. You’ll receive your invoice at the start of your subscription period.

HOW INFORMATION STAYS SECURESecurity & Privacy

How does Whistlelink protect our data?

Whistlelink ensures the highest level of security by implementing advanced protection and encryption technologies, safeguarding your information and maintaining whistleblower confidentiality.

Where does Whistlelink host its service?

Whistlelink operates on secure servers hosted in Sweden, ensuring that no personal data is processed or stored outside the EU.

Can you guarantee the anonymity of the whistleblower?

Whistlelink does not ask for any personal data when a whistleblower submits a report. Upon submission, the whistleblower receives a unique case code, which allows them to securely access and follow up on their report while maintaining anonymity.
