### Is Hintbox suitable for SMEs under 250 employees?

Likely yes — Hintbox's entry-tier pricing sits in the €50–100/month band, workable for most 50–249-employee organisations. EUR 99/month (1-49 employees), EUR 129/month (50-99), EUR 149/month (100-249), from EUR 249/month (250+). Billed annually: EUR 1,188 / 1,548 / 1,788 / from 2,988, excluding 19% VAT. DACH-region companies subject to HinSchG with ISO 27001 procurement requirements.

### Which national whistleblower laws does Hintbox explicitly reference?

Hintbox explicitly cites the following national transpositions of Directive 2019/1937 in its public materials: Germany (HinSchG), Austria. Absence from this list does not mean the platform can't be used in other EU jurisdictions — all 27 member states have transposed the Directive. Verify jurisdictional fit with the vendor directly.

### Does Hintbox process whistleblower report content with AI?

Yes — Hintbox processes report content with AI (typically for translation, summarisation, or classification). If your compliance posture requires keeping disclosures out of third-party LLMs or machine-translation services, confirm data-processing terms and vendor subprocessors before procurement.
