Whistler Features

Account setup

We take care of the initial account setup for you. We just need some basic details about your organisation.

Once your account is ready, you'll add Authorised Persons — the people in your organisation who will have access to whistleblower reports. For example, your Head of Security and Head of Compliance. We recommend at least two people.

That's it. You'll be up and running in minutes.

Share your reporting URL

Your organisation will have a dedicated reporting URL. Share it in your compliance training, by email, or on awareness posters around your workplace — anywhere your employees can find it.

Receiving a report

When a whistleblower submits a report, all Authorised Persons receive an email notification containing a passkey. This passkey is the only way to decrypt and read the report.

Reading a report

To read a report, an Authorised Person signs in to Whistler and enters the passkey. The report is decrypted and displayed, along with any attached files.

Managing cases

Whistler includes integrated case management, enabling you to create cases, link them to reports, and add internal notes as your investigation progresses. A full audit trail records who created, edited, or archived each case.

Inexpensive

Whistler is available for a low subscription fee with plans starting from $19 per month. There are no per-report charges, no matter how many reports are submitted.

As a fully online service, Whistler avoids the high infrastructure and staffing costs associated with hotlines — and eliminates abuse risks like prank calls that drive up phone charges.

Easy to implement

We can set up your account and have you running within 24 hours. There's no software to install, no integration with your existing systems, and no technical expertise required.

As soon as your account is ready, you'll have a dedicated reporting URL to share with your employees.

No training required

Your employees don't need any training to use Whistler. They just need the reporting URL — the form is intuitive and takes only minutes to complete.

This means Whistler can be implemented quickly and at minimal cost, with no disruption to your workforce.

Designed for privacy

Whistler does not collect any identifying data about people who submit reports. The reporting page contains no trackers, no analytics, and no embedded third-party content.

This minimises privacy compliance obligations for your organisation. Read our Privacy Policy for full details.

Dashboard and audit trail

Your organisation's dashboard provides a clear overview of report and case activity. A guided setup helps you get started quickly, and summary statistics keep you informed at a glance.

Every action — from report creation to case archival — is recorded in an audit trail, supporting accountability and regulatory compliance.

No sign-in required

Whistleblowers never need to sign in or create an account. This preserves anonymity and makes reporting fast and frictionless.

For organisations, this also means no user administration, credential management, or additional privacy obligations for reporters.

No identifying data collected

Whistler does not collect identifying data about the people who submit reports. The reporting page contains no trackers, no analytics, and no embedded third-party content.

Whistleblowers can optionally provide a nickname, contact number, or email address if they choose to — but none of these are required.

Extremely easy to use

Submitting a report takes minutes. Whistleblowers visit the reporting URL, complete a short form, and click submit. No training or technical knowledge is needed.

For organisations, this means rapid rollout with zero onboarding costs for reporters.

No voice recordings

Whistler uses written reports rather than recorded calls. Whistleblowers cannot be identified by their voice, and reports are always clear and legible.

For organisations, this eliminates the cost and risk associated with hotline misuse.

Available anywhere

Whistleblowers can access Whistler from any computer, tablet, or smartphone — at work or at home. There's nothing to download, and no connection to company IT systems is required.

For organisations, this eliminates the need to roll out or maintain additional software.

Accessible

Whistler's reporting form is designed with accessibility in mind and supports screen readers, making it usable by as many people as possible.

Multi-language reporting

The reporting form is available in 12 languages, making it easier for whistleblowers to report in a language they're comfortable with.

Supported languages: English, Chinese (中文), French (Français), German (Deutsch), Spanish (Español), Japanese (日本語), Korean (한국어), Indonesian (Bahasa Indonesia), Dutch (Nederlands), Portuguese (Português), Vietnamese (Tiếng Việt), and Turkish (Türkçe).

Attachments

Whistleblowers can securely attach documents, images, or audio files to support their report. Accepted formats include PDF, Word documents, images (JPG, PNG), and audio files (MP3, WAV, M4A).

Attachments are encrypted alongside the report and can only be accessed by Authorised Persons with the correct passkey.

Hotlines can be more expensive

Setting up a dedicated phone line can be costly, and expenses grow quickly when expanding a whistleblowing programme globally. Prank calls can also drive up charges.

Whistler is available for a low subscription fee with no per-report charges, no matter how many reports are submitted.

Better quality reports

A whistleblower calling a hotline is likely to be nervous. Sentences may not be well structured, key facts may be left out, and poor call quality or strong accents can make an accurate transcript difficult.

When writing a report in Whistler, a whistleblower has time to compose their thoughts, structure the information clearly, and include as many relevant details as they can recall.

More likely to receive reports

Employees are far less likely to record their voice on a hotline for fear that their identity may be discovered. An anonymous online form removes that barrier.

Whistler's ease of use and strong privacy protections give employees the confidence to speak up when it matters.

Ability to include evidence

Evidence is a critical part of any whistleblower investigation. Whistler allows whistleblowers to attach documents, images, and audio recordings alongside their report.

This is not possible with traditional hotline services, where whistleblowers are often forced to take considerable risks to pass on supporting evidence.
