Everything You Need

vWhistle provides a complete solution for legally compliant whistleblowing systems – without compromise on security or usability.

End-to-End Encryption

All report data, messages and attachments are stored with AES-256 encryption. No plaintext in the database.

Anonymous Submission

Whistleblowers can submit reports completely anonymously. Identification is optional – the decision rests with the reporter.

Two-Factor Authentication

All staff accounts are secured by TOTP-based 2FA (Microsoft/Google Authenticator). Mandatory from first login.

Complete Case Management

Status tracking (New → Under Review → Closed), case assignment, internal notes and deadline monitoring per HinSchG.

Anonymous Mailbox

Encrypted two-way communication between the processing team and the whistleblower. The reporter's anonymity is preserved throughout.

Audit-Proof Audit Log

All actions in the system are recorded without gaps – immutable and traceable at any time for audits.

Multilingual

Public pages in German, English, Italian, Spanish and Czech. Languages individually activatable in the admin area.

Encrypted Attachments

Whistleblowers can upload evidence documents (PDF, Word, images). All files are stored encrypted in the database.

Email & SMS Notifications

Automatic email notification on new reports, configurable per user. SMS-based password recovery integrated.

How vWhistle Works

From anonymous tip to audit-proof processing – in four steps.

1
Submit Report

The whistleblower opens the portal and fills in the report form. Category, description and optional attachments. Anonymity is selectable.

2
Receive Access Code

After submitting, the whistleblower receives a unique case code and access code. This allows them to access their anonymous mailbox at any time.

3
Track Communication

Through the mailbox, the whistleblower can view the status of their report, answer team queries and receive feedback.

A
Notification & Review

WB officers receive an email notification about new reports. The case immediately appears in the portal with status "New".

B
Assignment & Processing

The case is assigned to a Compliance Officer or Investigator. Status is updated. Internal notes remain invisible to the whistleblower.

C
Feedback & Closure

The team provides feedback via the mailbox. After closure, the case is archived. The audit log secures all actions in an audit-proof manner.

Fully Law-Compliant

vWhistle was built from the ground up for the requirements of the German Whistleblower Protection Act and the EU Whistleblower Directive.
