Notable
- Ethicorp is a French legaltech founded in 2016 by William Feugere, a Paris Bar lawyer specialising in ethics and compliance; the whistleblowing product is marketed alongside a related lawyer practice.
- The whistleblowing channel is EthiAlert, one of three products in the Ethicorp suite alongside EthiCase (internal investigation management) and EthiMap (compliance risk mapping).
- EthiAlert is offered in two tiers: Pro, where the organisation’s internal referents receive and supervise alerts, and Premium, where ethics lawyers receive and process alerts, screen conflicts of interest, and provide attorney-client privilege protection.
- The Premium tier is a managed service; the lawyers acting as the confidential intermediary are positioned as the distinctive feature, making legal professional privilege an ally of whistleblower confidentiality.
- Positioning references Loi Sapin II and French Anti-Corruption Agency recommendations; Loi Waserman transposes EU Directive 2019/1937 into French law. Article-level mapping was not found on public pages reviewed.
- The platform states anonymous reporting support (aligned to ISO 37002), customisable reporting home pages with logo, welcome message, ethics documents and FAQs, and integrated messaging designed to avoid standard email exchanges.
- Reporter submission (“Deposer une alerte”) is web-based and the interface offers 28+ languages including French, English, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, and Japanese.
- The vendor states it is a 100% French company with SaaS hosted in France, in-country data replication by a French operator, and an optional on-premise hosting arrangement.
- Certifications listed are ISO 37002 (whistleblowing management systems) and ISO 37008 (internal investigations), audited by Bureau Veritas. No ISO 27001 certification was found on public pages reviewed.
- Named public client logos include RATP, CNR, Eau de Paris, AG2R, Manutan, 360Learning, and roughly 40 others; no detailed case studies were published.
