What EQS Integrity Line is
EQS Integrity Line is whistleblowing software that lets employees and third parties report wrongdoing within an organisation. Reports can be anonymous, and a secure mailbox allows follow-up dialogue without identifying the reporter. Case management includes configurable user authorisations, access controls and revision logs. The reporting system is available in over 80 languages and can automatically translate cases and dialogue. Dashboards, interactive charts, real-time analysis, search and filters support compliance reporting; cases can be downloaded in Excel format. Organisations can combine information from letters, emails, phone calls and meetings, while a telephone channel is possible for Enterprise. EQS says the service is hosted in Germany, uses ISO 27001-certified data centres and end-to-end encryption, and has two-factor authentication and regular external security audits. The vendor says it supports GDPR and EU Whistleblowing Directive compliance, and that its reporting channel complies with WCAG 2.1. Essential costs £85 a month. A seven-day free trial of Essential provides portal and case management features after the demo system is set up.
