Build your whistleblowing program

FAQ

What is whistleblowing software?

Whistleblowing software gives employees and other stakeholders a secure way to report misconduct. It also gives your compliance team one place to receive, investigate and resolve each report. FaceUp covers whistleblowing as part of an Ethics & Compliance platform: anonymous reporting, case management, investigations, disclosures, policy management, and analytics. Run by your own team.

Who is FaceUp for?

Compliance and legal teams at regulated organizations, often a small team running the whole program. 3,600+ organizations in 70+ countries use FaceUp. See our Case Studies.

What does a whistleblowing program need to comply?

Most laws ask for the same core things: a secure channel that protects the reporter's identity, timely acknowledgment and follow-up, protection from retaliation, and a record of how each report was handled. Rules and deadlines differ by country. See the details in our Compliance Hub.

What types of issues can be reported through FaceUp?

Harassment, discrimination, fraud, corruption, safety violations, conflicts of interest, and other breaches of law or internal policy. You set the categories yourself.

Is FaceUp compliant with international regulations?

Yes. FaceUp is designed to support compliance with major local and international whistleblowing regulations across the US, EU, UK, UAE, and beyond. To learn more about the different laws and frameworks FaceUp can help you comply with, visit our Compliance Hub.

The platform aligns high standards for data protection, confidentiality, and procedural transparency, enabling organizations to meet their legal obligations across multiple jurisdictions.

How does FaceUp protect whistleblower identity?

Protecting whistleblower identity is a fundamental principle of the FaceUp platform. All reports are secured using advanced encryption and strict access controls.

When anonymity is chosen, FaceUp enables ongoing two-way communication without revealing the reporter’s identity, ensuring confidentiality throughout the entire case lifecycle.

How long does it take to set up FaceUp?

Most teams go live in hours, not days. Your compliance team sets up categories, organizational units, languages and permissions itself, without IT. Our customer success team can help if you want it.

Can we add a whistleblower hotline?

Yes. Choose an AI-powered, automated or live hotline as an add-on. Calls become cases in the same place as your online reports.

Can FaceUp do more than whistleblowing?

Yes. Many teams start with whistleblowing. Then they add investigations (in Early Access) and, soon, disclosures such as conflicts of interest and gifts, without changing systems.

Can FaceUp integrate with other tools?

Yes. Get case notifications in Slack or Microsoft Teams, sync employees from HR systems like BambooHR or Rippling, and connect 8,000+ other apps through Zapier and Make. See our Integrations Hub.
