Version du barème
v2

La France est l’un des rares marches de l’UE ou le bonus pays change vraiment le classement. Un simple discours “conforme a la directive europeenne” ne suffit pas : les acheteurs veulent savoir si l’editeur comprend la Loi Waserman, si Sapin II reste dans le perimetre pour les grandes organisations, et si le produit tient la route dans un cycle d’achat francais.

Cette edition combine donc deux couches :

  • le barème de base sur 50 points, agnostique au pays, qui mesure la qualite produit, la posture securite, la transparence tarifaire et la profondeur workflow ;
  • le modificateur France sur 8 points, qui recompense le cadrage explicite Waserman / Sapin II, l’UI en francais et, quand elle est publiee clairement, une option de residence des donnees en France.

Le resultat penalise deux echecs frequents du marche francais : les produits locaux anciens, bien cadres juridiquement mais faibles en profondeur produit, et les produits globaux solides techniquement mais presque muets sur le droit francais.

5/6

Forces

  • Best article-level legal framing of any tool reviewed: /compliance/ enumerates Art 4, 6, 8, 9, 16, 18, 19–21
  • Deadline tracking is real, not marketing: code has eu_acknowledgment_deadline + feedback_due_at + overdue/due_soon scopes
  • Retention is configurable AND auto-purged: RETENTION_MONTHS_OPTIONS [12,24,36,60] + RetentionCleanupJob
  • Two-factor reporter access: Case ID + reporter-chosen 6-digit passcode (bcrypt digest), session-gated inbox; identifier is separated from secret
  • Modern stack with no EOL liabilities: Rails 8 + Turbo + Tailwind 4; no CKEditor or jQuery
  • Transparent monthly pricing (€49/mo) with EN/FR/PL UI
  • Multi-handler case assignment: per-report assigned_to FK on Membership, Pundit scope enforces admin-sees-all / member-sees-only-assigned, assignment changes are audit-logged and the assignee is notified automatically

Faiblesses

  • No structured intake questions: schema is Subject + Description + Files; does not ask relationship-to-org, source-of-info, prior reporting, or retaliation concerns
  • Audit log is append-only (DB trigger blocks UPDATE on semantic fields + TRUNCATE) but not hash-chained
  • Only 3 portal-facing languages (EN/FR/PL) against 24 EU official languages
  • No ISO 27001 certification of EthicsPortal itself (only Hetzner infrastructure is certified)
  • Pay-first with 30-day money-back rather than upfront self-serve free trial

Point distinctif

Article-level Directive framing backed by code that actually runs the deadline, retention, and two-factor passcode flows.

2/6

Forces

  • Perfect C-category score (10/10) — handler experience is the strongest of any tool reviewed so far
  • Unmatched RBAC granularity: 4 modules (Cases, Analytics, Settings, Surveys) × multiple permissions per module × per-case scoping ('All / Specific categories / Only assigned')
  • Three-phase Investigation workflow (Start → In progress → End) with structured fields: Date of start, Reported by, Raised against, Witnesses, Investigator
  • Configurable data retention with auto-delete (12/24/36/60 months) AND 30-day default auto-due-date
  • Explicit EU data residency: AWS eu-west-1 (Ireland), country-disclosed in org settings
  • End-to-end encryption offered as a toggle with honest trade-off disclosure (Recovery Key requirement stated)
  • Self-serve 7-day trial with no credit card required
  • 113 reporting languages covers every EU official language, including FR and EL

Faiblesses

  • No article-level Directive citations — the product knows about the Directive but does not map features to Articles 4, 6, 8, 9, 16, 18 the way EthicsPortal does
  • Default category taxonomy (Bullying / OHS / Theft-corruption / Other) overlaps Art 2(1) partially but is not Directive-aligned
  • Pricing is quote-only: three tiers visible (Starter / Professional / Enterprise), no euro amounts published; drops E-category to 2/6
  • No monthly-cancellable contract option visible on the pricing page
  • Loi Waserman and Law 4990/2022 not mentioned on public pages — depresses FR and GR country bonuses
  • Sub-processor list not surfaced during this review (may exist in Trust Center, not verified)
  • Reporter access mechanism (single UUID vs Case ID + passcode) not verified in this session

Point distinctif

Handler-side product maturity is the strongest in the review. Case-management, investigation workflow, RBAC, and activity logging are all enterprise-grade. The gaps are in country-specific legal framing and commercial transparency, not in the product itself.

#3

Forces

  • Strong France-specific legal framing: dedicated Loi Waserman page plus separate Sapin II positioning
  • Enterprise-grade intake breadth: web, mobile app, and Voice AI hotline in one product
  • Customer-managed encryption keys and selectable hosting jurisdiction are rare at public tier

Faiblesses

  • Pricing is fully sales-gated; public materials point to a 3-year contract and annual payment
  • Directive Article 2(1) breach taxonomy is not documented publicly
  • Reporter return-access mechanism is not documented publicly
  • Most handler-depth evidence stays at marketing level because no self-serve trial exists

Point distinctif

Among the France-market tools reviewed, Whispli is the strongest combination of Waserman/Sapin II positioning and enterprise-grade security architecture at public tier.

3/6

Forces

  • One of the clearest public pricing pages in the France market
  • Strong France-specific copy: Sapin II and Loi Waserman are both explicit on public pages
  • France-hosted platform, mediator-led exchange, and a structured multi-step reporter form are all publicly observable

Faiblesses

  • Public product detail is thin: no documented reporter access mechanism, no structured intake, no public handler demo
  • No public security certifications or sub-processor documentation found
  • Annual contract model with referent caps is less flexible than monthly self-serve tools

Point distinctif

Alertcys is a France-native commercial offer first: public annual pricing, France-law framing, and optional outsourced handling make it easy for a buyer to understand the package before any sales call.

#5

Forces

  • Transparent pricing with public monthly billing, self-serve trial, and no cancellation fees
  • French-language marketing path is live, alongside 25-language product coverage claims
  • Custom forms, encrypted two-way communication, and task / action workflows are all surfaced publicly

Faiblesses

  • France-law positioning is thin; no public Waserman or Sapin II framing was found
  • Hosting and security posture remain under-documented publicly
  • Reporter return-access mechanism is not documented publicly

Point distinctif

WeMoral has one of the strongest commercial surfaces in the set: public monthly pricing, a self-serve trial, and a clear feature page without forcing a sales cycle.

Forces

  • French-sovereign infrastructure: ISO 27001 + HDS, hosted in France
  • Two-way anonymous messaging (chat box confidentielle) for reporter–handler threads
  • Published starting price (€100 HT/month) — unusual for FR compliance tools

Faiblesses

  • No Directive 2019/1937 reference anywhere on the site; Loi Waserman mentioned only in one FAQ line, no article citation
  • 36-month contract is still the default commercial model; monthly billing only exists as a surcharge option
  • No public reporter demo; most product proof remains marketing-page level
  • Ad-hoc breach taxonomy; not aligned to Directive 2019/1937 Article 2(1)
  • Two-factor reporter access not documented

Point distinctif

French-sovereign stack (ISO 27001 + HDS, France-hosted) — a real differentiator for healthcare, public sector, and mutuals who rule out most pan-EU vendors

#7

Forces

  • Customer holds the encryption key: PGP with 2048-bit RSA — vendor states case content is inaccessible to EQS staff. Unique in this review.
  • 80+ reporter languages including 19 EU languages (both FR and EL covered)
  • ISO 27001 certified + WACA Bronze (WCAG 2.1) on reporter form — accessibility claim backed by third-party audit
  • Part of publicly-traded EQS Group AG (Frankfurt Stock Exchange), with strong consolidation track record (Got Ethics 2020, Business Keeper 2021, Convercent 2024)
  • Essential tier offers a free trial and days-to-deploy timeline

Faiblesses

  • No article-level Directive citations on public pages reviewed
  • Neither Loi Waserman nor Law 4990/2022 cited despite supporting FR and international markets
  • Pricing entirely quote-only for all three tiers (Essential / Professional / Enterprise)
  • Telephone reporting channel only on Professional / Enterprise tiers — gated behind upgrade
  • Professional / Enterprise rollout 4–8 weeks (vendor-stated) — slow for self-serve expectations
  • Most Directive-compliance criteria unverifiable at public tier

Point distinctif

Customer-held encryption key (PGP 2048-bit RSA) is the strongest confidentiality claim reviewed. For buyers whose DPO reviews key custody, EQS has an answer no other incumbent matches.

Forces

  • Public product detail is unusually concrete for a quote-led tool: statuses, reminders, permissions, and communication are all surfaced
  • French-language product surface plus ISO 27001 positioning make it easier to shortlist than many local incumbents
  • French-language product surface plus ISO 27001 positioning make it easier to shortlist than many local incumbents

Faiblesses

  • No explicit public Waserman or Sapin II framing found
  • Pricing is not published publicly
  • Reporter return-access mechanism and append-only audit guarantees are not documented publicly

Point distinctif

IntegrityLog is the strongest 'quiet' entrant in the France set: less legal-marketing theatre than local incumbents, but more public product detail and a real free-trial path.

  • Strongest third-party credentials reviewed: ISO 27001 + ISAE 3000 Type 2, G2 4.9/5 across 157 reviews, 500+ consultancy partner network (PwC, Baker McKenzie, DLA Piper)
  • 80+ reporter languages and 23 EU languages — broadest multilingual coverage in the category
  • Self-serve 14-day trial with no credit card — lowest friction among market leaders
  • Transparent tiered pricing published (€70 / €80 / €135 / €215 / €285 per month by headcount band)

Faiblesses

  • No article-level Directive citations on public pages — the dedicated /eu-whistleblowing-directive-summary covers themes but not Articles 4, 6, 8, 9, 16, 18, 19–21 by number
  • Loi Waserman and Law 4990/2022 not explicitly referenced on the public site despite supporting FR and GR markets
  • Annual billing only — no monthly option, 30-day renewal notice required
  • Most Directive-compliance criteria (deadline tracking, retention config, register, audit trail specifics) not verifiable at public tier

Point distinctif

Broadest language coverage in the category (80+ reporter / 23 EU) combined with the strongest cross-market credential stack (ISO 27001 + ISAE 3000 Type 2 + G2 Top Rated + enterprise consultancy network).

Forces

  • Dedicated country-law resource pages (France / Germany / Spain / Sweden / Belgium) under /solutions/regulations/ — useful procurement artefact
  • Sapin II dedicated page under /solutions/regulations/sapin-ii-compliance/
  • ISO 27001 certified (December 2025) + EU Data Privacy Framework
  • 24/7 multilingual phone hotline in 150+ languages
  • 13,000+ customers / 10M+ reports processed (vendor-stated scale)

Faiblesses

  • No article-level EU Directive citations anywhere on public pages (despite having country-law resource hubs)
  • Pricing is entirely demo-gated: 'Get Pricing' CTA routes to a sales form
  • No self-serve trial on either EthicsPoint Essentials or Professional
  • Neither Loi Waserman nor Law 4990/2022 cited on public pages (country pages use generic 'French/German Whistleblower Protection Law' framing)
  • Most Directive-compliance criteria (deadline tracking, retention, register, audit trail) unverifiable at public tier

Point distinctif

The compliance resource centre with country-specific landing pages is the most extensive reviewed. Useful for NAVEX's content marketing; not a product-quality signal.

#11

1/10
Security
2/8
Commercial
0/6

Forces

  • France-hosted and France-native in positioning
  • Sapin II framing is more concrete than many local competitors because public pages cite the law and decree
  • Anonymous reporting plus instant messaging are both public claims

Faiblesses

  • Very thin public product surface: deadlines, roles, retention, and audit semantics are mostly undocumented
  • No published pricing or self-serve trial
  • No public Waserman update / positioning found on the vendor surface reviewed

Point distinctif

Signalement.net is narrow and domestic: it wins on France-hosting simplicity and Sapin II grounding, not on product depth or commercial transparency.

Méthodologie

Barème de notation

25 critères répartis en 5 catégories, pondérés par le nombre de critères. Chaque critère vaut 0, 1 ou 2 — affiché sous la forme ○ / ◐ / ●. Le score de base maximal est de 50. Les bonus spécifiques à France ajoutent jusqu’à 8 points par-dessus (modificateur, hors base).

Niveaux d’accès

Chaque outil porte un niveau d’accès qui reflète ce qui a réellement pu être testé :

  • P — pages publiques uniquement (marketing, prix, sécurité, URL signaleur).
  • P + R — idem, plus un test de dépôt de signalement.
  • P + R + H — idem, plus l’accès au tableau de bord handler / admin (via essai gratuit ou démo).

Les critères non vérifiables au niveau d’accès courant reçoivent 0 avec une ligne de preuve du type « Requires handler tier » ou « Not documented publicly ». Quand le score est déprimé par le niveau d’accès et non par la qualité produit, cela est signalé explicitement sur la fiche de l’outil.

Garanties d’intégrité

  1. Le barème a été figé avant le scoring. Aucun critère n’a été ajouté en cours de test pour favoriser ou pénaliser un outil précis.
  2. Chaque score porte une preuve — URL, citation ou chemin de fichier — visible sur la fiche de l’outil.
  3. Les outils opérés par l’éditeur du site sont notés avec le même barème. Le classement suit le score, pas l’inverse.
  4. Chaque outil affiche une date de dernière revue et fait l’objet d’un re-test au moins annuel.
  5. Les éditeurs peuvent contester un score ou soumettre la preuve d’un correctif livré via l’adresse de contact du site. Les contestations et mises à jour apparaissent comme des addenda datés sur la fiche concernée.

Droit appliqué

Loi n° 2022-401 du 21 mars 2022 (Loi Waserman) + Loi Sapin II pour les organisations de 500+ salaries (France, c’est-à-dire la transposition France de la directive UE 2019/1937). Les outils sont notés d’abord contre la directive, puis contre les spécificités du droit local.
