Whistleblower and Protected Disclosure Management Software

Securely manage confidential reports and protected disclosures

Whistleblower reports and protected disclosures require careful handling from the first moment they are received. They may involve anonymity, confidentiality, legal obligations, board reporting, audit committee involvement, retaliation monitoring, evidence, investigations and sensitive outcomes. Dazychain HR helps HR, Legal, Risk and Compliance teams manage protected disclosures, whistleblower reports, ethics complaints, fraud concerns, corruption concerns and serious misconduct matters in one secure platform.

The problem: confidential disclosures need stronger controls

Protected disclosures are not ordinary HR matters. They may involve:

  • Anonymous reporters
  • Senior employees
  • Legal risk
  • Retaliation concerns
  • Regulatory obligations
  • Board notification
  • Audit committee oversight
  • Fraud or corruption allegations
  • Sensitive evidence
  • Investigation requirements
  • Strict access controls

If these matters are handled informally, organisations can create
serious risk.
