At SICODA,<\/strong>we don’t just carry<\/strong> IT security, compliance and data protection in our name; we also burn for their implementation.<\/strong> Recently, compliance management was expanded by the EU to include the protection of whistleblowers. As a result, we have upgraded our offer to include an absolutely secure and legally compliant whistleblowing system. As your provider with 18 years of legal experience, we are happy to support you with the introduction of an appropriate whistleblower platform within your company.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Whistleblowers, whether they are employees, suppliers or customers, reveal wrongdoings in companies.<\/strong> Through their courageous and valuable tips, they contribute to increasing transparency in companies and thus to uncovering white-collar crime. With their courageous comments, they also denounce ethically questionable practices, such as inhumane working conditions or child labor.<\/p>\n A whistleblowing system protects whistleblowers from reprisals.<\/strong> It allows whistleblowers to submit tips confidentially and anonymously if they wish, without fear of punishment or reprisals. For a long time, this was not the case.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Meanwhile, the EU has acknowledged the importance of whistleblowers<\/strong>. For their safety, the EU Directive “on the protection of people who report violations of Union law”, in short the Whistleblower Directive<\/u>, entered into force on December 16, 2019.<\/p>\n On December 21, 2021, the deadline for transferring the European directive into German law expired. However, the Grand Coalition was unable to agree on a text for the Whistleblower Protection Act (HinSchG)<\/u> during its period of office.<\/p>\n However, even if currently there is no corresponding law in Germany, the EU directive is already valid in this country. According to the coalition agreement of the current governing coalition, the EU Whistleblower Directive will soon be adopted into national law.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n The Whistleblower Protection Act obliges legal bodies in Germany<\/strong> to introduce a whistleblowing system by law. For the time being, this only affects organizations, such as companies and unincorporated associations with 250 or more employees. From December 1, 2023, onwards, the introduction of a whistleblower platform will also be mandatory for companies with 50 or more employees or annual sales of more than 10 million euros.<\/p>\n There is no employee or sales limit for financial service providers<\/strong>. For them, a whistleblower system is mandatory based on their service alone.<\/p>\n Municipalities with a population of 10,000 or more and public institutions<\/strong> must also provide an anonymous reporting system as of the end of 2023. Experts also advise municipalities with up to 10,000 inhabitants to introduce an appropriate whistleblowing system.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Our compliance whistleblowing system meets all whistleblower data protection, data and legal security requirements<\/strong> as well as your demand for a customized solution.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,1_3,1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The protection of whistleblowers can only be guaranteed if the whistleblowing system behind it is 100% secure and therefore absolutely confidential.<\/strong> Neither the reading nor the tracing of hints can be permitted. As lawyers for IT security, compliance and data protection, the security of your data is part of our DNA.<\/p>\n Correspondingly, our whistleblowing system meets<\/strong> the highest standards in terms of security<\/strong>.

As lawyers and providers of our own whistleblowing system, we guarantee the legal security of our electronic reporting system.<\/strong><\/p>\n For example, our whistleblower platform also enables anonymous reports<\/strong>, which are essential in Germany. Of course, our documentation of hints also complies with the current legislation.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n In Germany, data protection, too, is regulated meticulously. To ensure that you fully comply with the GDPR even when dealing with the already sensitive topic of whistleblowing, our whistleblowing system meets all the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation<\/strong>with regard to the collection and further processing of data.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,1_3,1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Our online portal is available 24 hours a day.<\/strong> A whistleblower is therefore not bound to the telephone hours of a hotline. In addition to that, no message can be lost, for example in the mail. Reporting a tip using our software is quick and easy. As a result, the willingness to provide clues increases.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n We take care of both, the installation and operation of your whistleblowing system.
