Resguarda

What Resguarda does

Resguarda is a private ethics and compliance technology company founded in 2001 and headquartered in Buenos Aires, Argentina, with regional commercial offices in Mexico City, São Paulo, and Bogotá. The company provides an integrated platform for anonymous whistleblowing, case management, compliance policy automation, and specialized investigation services, serving over 600 enterprise clients across 34 countries with coverage extending to more than 10 million end users. The platform processes 240,000+ reports and supports 5,000 investigations annually, with typical case resolution within two weeks.

The technology stack is cloud-based and organized around three product lines: Ethics Line (an anonymous, multi-channel whistleblowing intake and case management system with web, email, and phone reception), Compliance Connect (an automation platform for internal compliance policies including conflicts of interest and codes of ethics), and Investigations (a confidential internal probe service). In 2025 the company introduced Resguarda AI, comprising Ana (a chatbot that structures and captures reports across text, audio, and attachments) and Cassie (a chatbot that supports compliance teams with case navigation and FAQs). The platform integrates with Microsoft Active Directory and Microsoft credentials for identity management, exposes a proprietary API for system interoperability, and supports four languages (Spanish, Portuguese, English, plus an additional language per source).

The business model is subscription-based across three tiers (Basic, Enterprise, and Customized) with annual or multi-year billing. Distribution is enterprise sales-led via direct engagement through the website and the regional offices, targeting compliance, HR, and audit teams in organizations that require whistleblowing infrastructure compliant with LatAm, US (Sarbanes-Oxley, CCPA), and EU (GDPR) regulations. The company is aligned with ISO/IEC 27001:2022 information security standards, and the platform is operated as a service powered by Solva. No external funding rounds, parent company, or institutional investment is disclosed.

• NAVEX Global: The largest pure-play ethics and compliance hotline/whistleblowing platform globally, with NAVEX One, NAVEX WhistleB, and EthicsPoint. Direct competitor to Resguarda's Ethics Line offering, serving enterprise compliance/HR/audit teams with anonymous reporting channels and case management.
• WhistleB (NAVEX): Nordic-origin whistleblower hotline service now part of NAVEX, with strong presence among European multinationals. Competes with Resguarda in the EU compliance market segment.
• Convercent (by Diligent): Ethics and compliance cloud platform acquired by Diligent, offering a hotline, case management, and policy distribution. Targets the same enterprise compliance buyer and overlaps significantly with Resguarda's product scope.
• EQS Group (EQS Integrity Line): German-listed compliance and corporate governance SaaS provider whose Integrity Line product competes head-to-head with Resguarda. Both serve multinationals needing EU-compliant whistleblowing channels with multilingual case management and integrations.
