Here is the honest situation. The Whistleblower Directive requires organizations over the worker threshold and in certain sectors to establish secure internal reporting channels, acknowledge reports within seven days, follow up diligently and give feedback within three months, signpost external channels, protect reporters against every form of retaliation with a reversed burden of proof, and keep the reporter's identity confidential. Building that system and evidencing it is real work, and an organization with no impartial handler, no timeframes met, or that lets a reporter suffer detriment is exactly where organizations fall short.
This Kit removes the guesswork. It is every Directive obligation written as an adopt-ready control you personalize in a weekend, with the evidence a competent authority examines.
What you get, the moment you buy
Grounded in the Whistleblower Directive (Directive (EU) 2019/1937) as transposed, with the internal reporting channels, the acknowledgement and feedback timeframes, external reporting and public disclosure, the protection against retaliation and the reversed burden of proof, and the confidentiality and record-keeping duties called out. Editable Word and Excel files.
What one control looks like
This is confirming the obligation and the scope of reports and reporters, where compliance begins. All 18 are built to this depth.
Why this is not another template pack
- The evidence is the point. A duty you cannot evidence, especially a timeframe or a non-retaliatory decision, is exposure. This tells you what is examined and where organizations fall short, for every obligation.
- Channels, timeframes and protection built in. The secure internal channels, the seven-day and three-month timeframes and the anti-retaliation protection are written into the controls, the substance the Directive requires.
- Built on a mapped compliance corpus, not one person's opinion, from a graph of thousands of controls across standards.
- It compounds. Whistleblowing connects to your governance, HR and data protection, so this work feeds your wider compliance program.
Who buys this
Organizations over the worker threshold or in covered sectors, and the legal, compliance, HR and governance leads who own whistleblowing. Whether it is a first system or a review, you save weeks and walk in with the channels, timeframes and protections structured.
Common questions
Is it really editable? Yes. Word and Excel files you own and adapt. No portal, no subscription.
Is this legal advice? No. It is an implementation toolkit grounded in the Directive as transposed. For a specific matter consult counsel; this gets your controls and records in order fast.
What are the key timeframes? Acknowledge a report within seven days and give feedback within three months. Both are built as controls.
Does it cover retaliation? Yes. The prohibition on retaliation, the reversed burden of proof and support and remedies are built as controls.
