Verkta ยท Protected Disclosures (Amendment) Act 2022

A compliant whistleblower channel, without law-firm prices

With 50+ employees, an internal whistleblower channel is required by EU law. Law firms charge thousands a year for a form and an inbox. Verkta does the same (compliant, secure and in 25 languages) at a fraction of the price.

No credit card required. Set up in 5 minutes.

Policy and awareness included

A ready-made whistleblower policy generated with your name and legal references, plus texts for your intranet.

Every feature, in detail

Full transparency about what the channel does and how it protects the reporter. Every line here corresponds to something the system actually does, not something we plan to do.

For the reporter

  • 100% anonymous reporting

    Name and contact details are optional. The portal requires no login, no email and no app.

  • Case number + personal access key

    The reporter receives a case number and a random access key and can follow the case and reply, without ever revealing who they are.

  • Secure two-way dialogue

    Officers can ask clarifying questions and the reporter can answer, still anonymously.

  • Encrypted file attachments

    Images and documents can be attached and are stored in private EU object storage with no public URLs.

  • 25 EU languages

    The reporter picks their own language on the portal, independent of the company's language.

  • No IP logging

    Neither IP address nor browser data is stored on the report. The spam guard's ephemeral counter uses hashed IPs only.

  • No traces in the browser

    The portal is served with no-store cache headers, no-referrer, and is excluded from search engines, safe even from a shared computer.

  • Receipt with deadlines

    The reporter immediately sees when the acknowledgement (7 days) and feedback (3 months) are due.

For whistleblowing officers

  • Strict access separation

    Only designated officers can see cases. Administrators, colleagues and external advisors never can, regardless of their permissions elsewhere in the system.

  • Automatic deadline monitoring

    The 7-day acknowledgement and 3-month feedback deadlines are monitored automatically with reminders before they are breached.

  • Case management with statuses

    Received, in progress, closed, with a full history of every step.

  • Complete audit log

    All case handling is logged with timestamp and responsible person, the documentation that proves the scheme is run correctly.

  • Notifications without case content

    Officers are notified of new reports by email, but the email never contains the case content.

  • Anonymised annual report

    Print-ready annual report with case statistics and no personally identifiable information, ready for the board or an inspection.

  • Optional portal access code

    The portal can be locked with a shared access code, e.g. if the link should only circulate internally.

  • Your name on the portal

    The portal runs on your own address (verkta.com/w/your-name) with your company name, and the address can be changed at any time.

Legal & compliance

  • Built for EU Directive 2019/1937

    The deadlines, anonymity and access control follow the Whistleblowing Directive's requirements, and the national laws implementing it.

  • Law overview for all 28 countries

    The law pages cover the national whistleblowing act, thresholds and external authorities across the EU + Norway.

  • Whistleblowing policy included

    A ready-made policy template for the staff handbook, ready for your adjustments.

  • GDPR as data processor

    A data processing agreement under art. 28 is part of the terms. All data is hosted in the EU (Frankfurt), and you can export everything yourself.

  • Inspection-ready documentation

    Audit log, annual report and deadline history together form the evidence that the scheme is followed in practice.

Security & operations

  • Encryption throughout

    All traffic is TLS-encrypted, and data at rest is encrypted in EU data centres in Frankfurt.

  • Hashed keys and tokens

    Access keys are stored only as SHA-256 hashes, unreadable even with database access.

  • Private file storage

    Attachments live in private object storage with no public URLs. Access requires an authorised lookup.

  • Spam protection without surveillance

    Rate limiting and honeypots protect the form, with hashed IPs and no permanent logging.

  • Organisational separation

    Every query in the system is bound to your organisation, data cannot cross between customers.

  • Certified infrastructure

    Verkta runs on ISO 27001 and SOC 2 certified infrastructure (Vercel, Neon). Verkta itself is not yet certified, we say so honestly until that changes.
