FaceUp Vs NAVEX:
Pick Your Best Fit

FaceUp V.S NAVEX FAQs:

How long does it take to onboard FaceUp?

2 hours maximum. FaceUp connects to your existing HRIS, configures intake channels, and trains your admin team in a single session. No professional services engagement. No IT project.

Does FaceUp work for a compliance team of one or two people?

Yes. FaceUp was built for compliance teams of one to five. The case management workflow does not require a dedicated admin or a training program. Most customers are managing active cases within their first week.

What happens if employees do not trust the reporting channel?

FaceUp provides technical anonymity guarantees, not just a policy statement. No IP address is stored. No device ID is collected on any submission. A 16-digit anonymous follow-up key means reporters can continue the conversation without ever identifying themselves. These controls are documented and auditable.

Can FaceUp handle a multi-country or multi-entity structure?

Yes. Multi-entity support is included on all plans. Separate workflows, siloed access controls, and auto-routing by country, entity, or department are all standard. No add-on required.

What does it look like if I want to switch from NAVEX to FaceUp?

Migration typically takes 30 days with both systems running in parallel. Case history can be exported from NAVEX and held as reference records. The new FaceUp channel goes live in 48 hours. Most teams switch without any gap in their reporting program.

Can FaceUp match NAVEX's language coverage?

FaceUp does not include policy management or ethics training. If those modules are currently used in your NAVEX contract, moving to FaceUp means keeping your existing LMS and policy tool in place or finding separate vendors for those functions. 

FaceUp covers speak-up intake, case management, and analytics. If your primary need is a defensible speak-up program, the transition is straightforward.

How does FaceUp's security compare to NAVEX?

Both platforms hold ISO 27001 and SOC 2 certifications. FaceUp also provides explicit technical anonymity guarantees: no IP address is stored, no device ID is collected. Local data storage options are available where required. NAVEX does not publicly document equivalent technical anonymity controls.

What integrations does FaceUp have?

FaceUp natively integrates with Rippling, Paylocity, BambooHR, Deel, and UKG Pro for HRIS. Microsoft Teams and Power BI connect natively. Zapier and Make add 8,000+ additional applications, including Slack, Jira, Asana, and WhatsApp. Custom webhooks are available for real-time event triggers.

How does FaceUp compare against NAVEX in terms of GRC features?

FaceUp does not cover policy management, ethics training, COI disclosures, or vendor risk. NAVEX does, across five separately licensed modules. If your organization needs all of those functions from a single vendor today, NAVEX is worth evaluating, and we would say so directly.

What that framing omits is that most organizations in the 500–3,000 employee range already have an LMS, a policy tool, and a vendor risk process in place.

Adding NAVEX means paying for duplication of what you already have. FaceUp covers the full speak-up lifecycle from intake through case management, investigation, and resolution, without the overhead of modules your team will not use. The question is not what is bundled. It is what you will actually deploy.
