Last updated: 2026-10-24

## Notable

- NAVEX positions whistleblowing inside NAVEX One, with EthicsPoint Essentials for fast setup, EthicsPoint Professional for enterprise workflows, and WhistleB as a whistleblowing system page.
- Current EthicsPoint product copy supports web and phone reporting, straightforward case tracking, configurable intake, AI-powered compliance tools, multilingual reporting, and anonymous reporting.
- The current UK WhistleB page advertises flexible pricing without a public amount. It states web and mobile reporting in 60+ languages and IVR in 40, with machine or human translation for case teams. The previously observed £75/month starting price is historical.
- The UK WhistleB page says reports get an automatic acknowledgement, reminders keep seven-day acknowledgement and three-month feedback in view, IVR and live telephony are add-ons, and most customers are live in 4-6 weeks.
- The WhistleB privacy/security page states data is stored in the EU with customer-controlled encryption and that NAVEX and suppliers are unable to access sensitive customer data.
- WhistleB pages also list MFA, encrypted transmission/storage, activity logs, redundancy, Microsoft Azure hosting, Microsoft Translator localization, ISO 27001 adherence, and SOC 2 Type II on the UK page.
- The EthicsPoint service-hosting provider page publicly lists hosting, translation, interpretation, analytics, and platform service providers, including EU services hosted at data centres in Frankfurt, Germany and Rozenburg, Netherlands, with AWS processing limited to Europe.
- Public pages reviewed did not disclose a free trial, API access, a DPA download, or article-level EU Directive mapping.

## Non-EU headquarters — data sovereignty risk

This vendor is headquartered in the United States. US-incorporated providers are subject to the CLOUD Act, which can compel disclosure of EU customer data regardless of where it is hosted. Transfers require the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or Standard Contractual Clauses — both are subject to legal challenge (see Schrems I and II). For institutional buyers prioritising European data sovereignty, prefer an EU-headquartered provider.

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

NAVEX does not publish entry-tier pricing, so SME buyers need to request a quote to assess fit. Buying path: Sales contact required. Organizations wanting NAVEX whistleblowing products with web and phone intake, managed services, WhistleB EU storage disclosures, and public service-provider information.

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

NAVEX explicitly cites the following national transpositions of Directive 2019/1937 in its public materials: EU Directive 2019/1937, France (Sapin II), United States (Sarbanes-Oxley, Dodd-Frank). 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 NAVEX process whistleblower report content with AI?

Yes — NAVEX 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.
