FaceUp Vs. SpeakUp

FaceUp V.S SpeakUp FAQs

What are the practical differences between FaceUp and SpeakUp?

Integration depth and language access. FaceUp connects natively to six HRIS platforms; SpeakUp is webhooks only, configured and maintained by the customer. FaceUp's case management interface is fully multilingual; SpeakUp's admin UI is English only. For US and Middle East teams, FaceUp is also the stronger geographic fit: SpeakUp has one office in New York and no documented Middle East presence.

Does FaceUp have a disclosures module to match SpeakUp Paths?

Not today. FaceUp's disclosures module is in development, with general availability planned for the end of 2026. If conflicts of interest, gifts, and governance workflows are your primary requirement right now, SpeakUp Paths is the more complete product. If whistleblowing intake and case management are the priority, FaceUp is the stronger platform today.

How quickly can we start receiving reports with FaceUp?

2 hours on average, depending on your setup. Once the agreement is signed, FaceUp is configured and live without IT involvement or professional services. Most teams receive their first report within two business days.

Does FaceUp support multiple legal entities with separate workflows?

Yes. FaceUp supports multi-entity structures out of the box, with separate intake channels, routing rules, and case visibility per entity. Compliance, HR, and Legal each operate independently with no cross-visibility between teams.

What languages does FaceUp support for reporters and administrators?

113 languages, for both reporters and administrators. The case management interface is fully multilingual, so compliance teams outside English-speaking markets can work in their own language throughout.

Which HRIS systems connect natively to FaceUp?

Rippling, BambooHR, Paylocity, Deel, UKG Pro, and Microsoft Teams connect natively without custom development necessary. For other systems, Zapier and Make provide 8,000+ app integrations without developer time.

Can our compliance team work with FaceUp if it doesn't speak English?

Yes. FaceUp's admin interface and case management dashboard are fully multilingual. Every compliance officer on your team can work in their own language, not just on the reporter-facing channels.

How do FaceUp and SpeakUp compare on security certifications?

FaceUp is ISO 27001- and SOC 2-certified, GDPR-compliant, end-to-end encrypted, and penetration-tested. SpeakUp also holds TISAX and ISAE 3000, which are relevant to automotive and EU financial services procurement. If TISAX is a contractual requirement, flag it early, and FaceUp can walk through the relevant control mapping with your security team.

Do FaceUp and SpeakUp both support AI-Powered Hotlines?

FaceUp's AI-powered hotline went live for all customers in April 2026 and is available as an add-on in any of the three pricing plans. SpeakUp's advanced Sienna features, including AI triage and AI anonymization, are sold as an add-on in their enterprise tier. Both platforms have AI voice intake today. 

Does FaceUp have well-known customers like SpeakUp?

Yes. FaceUp serves 3,600+ organizations, including Mercedes, Heineken, Sephora, PwC, Zendesk, Renault, Emirates, and Vercel. The Zendesk deployment specifically covers centralized global investigation processes across a distributed workforce. For mid-market teams in the US and Middle East, FaceUp has more directly relevant reference customers than SpeakUp's EU enterprise base.
