WhistleB

What WhistleB does

WhistleB is a Stockholm, Sweden-based cloud-native whistleblowing and incident management SaaS product, operating as a brand within NAVEX Global, Inc.'s NAVEX One GRC platform. The product enables organizations to receive, manage, and resolve reports of workplace misconduct, compliance violations, and ethical concerns through anonymous and confidential reporting channels accessible to both employees and external third parties. Its core technology stack comprises encrypted communication channels, a centralized case management system with automated workflows and deadline reminders, two-factor authentication and layered user authorization, secure live chat between reporters and case managers, and SOC 2 Type II-compliant infrastructure with all data stored within the European Union. Reporting and case management interfaces are localized across up to 150 languages, with translations handled via service rather than AI to preserve confidentiality.

WhistleB serves a dual customer base: small organizations under 500 employees requiring fast, cost-effective compliance tools, and multi-entity mid-market and enterprise organizations requiring centralized compliance management across legal entities and jurisdictions. Key verticals evidenced include legal services, financial services, and human resources, with named enterprise customers such as Bech-Bruun, SKW Schwarz, and Resurs Holding.

WhistleB operates a three-tier subscription model: a Core plan sold via self-serve e-commerce to SMBs, a Pro plan with multi-entity support and SSO sold via inside sales, and a Premium enterprise tier requiring direct sales engagement and multi-year contracts. The go-to-market combines product-led growth for SMB adoption with consultative enterprise field sales for larger accounts. The product is positioned primarily for compliance with the EU Whistleblower Protection Directive and related global regulations, and operates within NAVEX Global's broader GRC distribution ecosystem serving over 13,000 organizations across at least 9 localized markets.
