By letting konfidal take over your whistleblowing operation for you, you no longer need to worry about compliance with the obligations arising from the EU Whistleblower Directive or a nationally applicable Whistleblower Protection Act. We provide you with an all-round carefree package: We set up the so-called internal reporting channel for you and, together with our trained compliance experts, take over the receipt and classification of your cases according to small-scale verification schemes. We will only approach you if you need to take action yourself. Otherwise, you will not hear anything about whistleblowing. At regular intervals (usually once a year), we will inform you about everything you need to know about whistleblower protection. Whether it's overviews of the frequency and subject areas of your reports or the latest legal developments. We keep you up to date and take the burden off you so that you can focus on your core business.

We offer whistleblower protection from a single source: whether it's implementation consulting, training for whistleblowers, software for companies and service providers, or taking over most of the obligations under the Whistleblower Protection Act for you: we are your one-stop shop on the topic! konfidal - your whistleblowing success partner

konfidal supports companies of all sizes as well as social organisations and churches in implementing the requirements of whistleblower protection. In doing so, we can demonstrate special know-how, especially for SMEs as well as for religious communities and general charitable employers.

Our trained compliance experts examine each case very closely for validity and advise you on how to deal with allegations or named grievances. At the end of the process there is the legally required action report to the whistleblower. During the entire processing time, we maintain contact with the whistleblower and, if necessary, with you.

As a rule, we report to you once per calendar year. Should it be necessary, of course also at shorter intervals.

There is no blanket answer to this question because each case is as unique as the people who report it. However, in our experience, most cases can be brought to an end within a few weeks. However, if extensive internal investigations and legal proceedings become necessary, a case can drag on for many months. In order to provide you with maximum relief in such cases, we are happy to supply you with the appropriate legal experts for investigation and litigation from our broad network, if you wish.

First we check the conditions in your company. Does a works council exist and does a company agreement have to be concluded? Who is suitable internally to take over the operation of the hotline? Are the people already trained for it? For whom and for which topics should the reporting channel be opened (keyword: LkSG, company suggestion scheme, etc.)? Should reports only be possible by name or also anonymously? We clarify these and many other questions during the introductory consultation. At the end of the process, you will receive a customised checklist with the things you need to implement in order to comply with the HinSchG as quickly as possible. And should you prefer to outsource afterwards, we will take over the topic for you without further ado.

At the end, you will have a customised checklist with the tasks and processes you need to implement in order to comply with the HinSchG as quickly as possible. Should you prefer to outsource the work afterwards, we will take over the topic for you without further ado.

Should you find during or after our joint consultation that the issue is taking up too many resources for you, hand over your hotline operation to us without further ado. Thanks to our self-developed and German-hosted software, we are optimally prepared for this in conjunction with our compliance specialists. If you want to implement it yourself, we will train your employees for the reporting office operation and help you implement the processes that are still necessary.

Of course. In an initial discussion, we will clarify with you how you can best implement the topic for yourself. Should we find out in the course of this that you need further advice, we will be happy to offer you our introductory advice, software or all-round carefree solution.

We take on the task of sifting through reports and checking their validity. Unfortunately, we cannot carry out internal investigations for you. However, we will support you in this and, together with you, we will also derive the measures that will help to ensure that certain issues do not arise again. We also communicate these to the whistleblower on your behalf. Everything is done in close consultation. In the end, however, we cannot release you from the final duties of responsibility towards the whistleblower. However, we will work with you to ensure that you no longer have to worry about impending penalties or damage to your image as a result of whistleblowing. Thanks to our broad network of lawyers, we can also support you if a whistleblower case should turn into a legal case.

Yes, you can integrate the colours, fonts, logos and other elements used in order to come as close as possible to the appearance of your site or that of your client. In the future, this will become even easier by simply giving our application the URL of the website whose style you want to see adopted. konfidal will do the rest for you.

No, you only pay when you have acquired a customer or client for your ombudsman/ombudsperson/full service/notification service. This way you are consistently revenue positive and never take a risk at any time.

In a few minutes you are ready to go: All you have to do is create your customer/client as this with name, logo and address, design the reporting portal for this still the common wish and send your customer/client the immediately generated link to his individual whistleblower reporting portal. Your customer/client shares this link with his staff and your customer is already legally compliant and you take over his whistleblower operation. If you have any detailed questions, our sales team will be happy to advise you. This aspect is also dealt with in great detail in our structured onboarding.

We are of course there for you! If your customers/clients have general questions about using the software, we will be happy to answer them without restriction via our hotline or via in-app chat as well as e-mail. If it is a case-related issue, we will solve the problem together with you so that you can help your customer further.

This constellation is rather unusual, but does occur in practice. We can also provide you with workflows on how you can optimally relieve your clients and exculpate them without creating any friction regarding responsibilities. Please feel free to contact us on this topic.
