Whistleblower Partners

What Whistleblower Partners does

Whistleblower Partners, a brand under the Compliance Partners holding, operates a cloud-based whistleblower reporting and case-management platform headquartered in Copenhagen, with a subsidiary in Berlin. Founded in 2019, the company sells to organizations required to comply with the EU Whistleblower Directive, primarily SMEs and mid-market buyers across Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Germany, the Netherlands, France, and the UK. The platform provides a confidential intake channel, structured case workflow, and audit-ready reporting, supported by ISO 27001 certification and GDPR-native architecture.

The core product is the Whistleblower System, a multi-tenant SaaS offering available in local languages across seven jurisdictions. It is complemented by three adjacent services: a Screening Service that handles incoming reports in local languages, a Response Service that connects customers with investigation experts, and Speak Up! Universe, a content hub with templates and guides. Distribution is anchored through law-firm referral partners (including Wolf Theiss for Central and Eastern Europe) and a direct sales motion to compliance officers.

The business model is a tiered per-customer subscription with pricing denominated in local currency (DKK, SEK, EUR) and scaling by employee headcount, with a per-employee variant kicking in above 500 employees. Adjacent revenues come from Screening and Response services. The company has accumulated 500+ customers and was bootstrapped through 2022, when it took an undisclosed round from two Danish investors to fund European expansion.

Direct peers

• WhistleB (NAVEX): WhistleB is a Stockholm-based whistleblower reporting SaaS platform serving European customers, now part of NAVEX. It is the closest direct competitor to WBP in the Nordic/EU SME compliance market with a similar product offering.
• People Intouch: People Intouch is a Dutch-based whistleblower hotline and case management provider serving primarily Northern European SMEs and enterprises. Its Benelux and Nordic focus overlaps directly with WBP's geographic and customer base.
• EQS Group: EQS Group is a Munich-listed compliance and investor relations SaaS provider offering whistleblowing, code of conduct, and integrity line solutions across Europe. It directly competes with WBP in the DACH region and several other EU markets.
• Vault Platform: Vault Platform is a speak-up and case management SaaS for enterprises, with a strong focus on EU and global compliance. It offers a similar anonymous reporting and investigations workflow, targeting both mid-market and large enterprises.
• SpeakUp (People Intouch): SpeakUp is a dedicated Speak-Up/whistleblower reporting service for European organizations, offered by People Intouch. It overlaps with WBP in target customer (compliance officers at 50+ employee organizations) and product category (anonymous reporting channels).

Broad incumbents

• Convercent (Informa Compliance): Convercent, now part of Informa, is an ethics and compliance cloud platform offering helpline reporting, case management, and policy distribution. It is a broader incumbent with overlapping ethics/compliance capabilities vs. WBP's whistleblower focus.

Emerging players

• Hintsa Ethics & Compliance: SpeakUp by People Intouch (and similar Nordic-origin speak-up apps) are smaller, mobile-first whistleblower apps targeting SMEs in Europe. They overlap with WBP in the SME/mobile segment of the EU speak-up market.
