Today’s compliance environment is relentless.

Most programs weren’t built for today’s pace of regulation. They rely on fragmented tools, manual processes, and reactive thinking – leaving CCOs when it matters most.

Manual chaos

Disjointed email chains and lost evidence

Weeks of manual data mining for board decks

‘Set and forget’ PDFs with zero proof of reading

Inconsistent, slow manual background checks

Scrambling to prove process during an investigation

AI EDGE

Compliance-ready AI. Across every module.

EQS AI doesn't replace your compliance officers – it simply gets rid of the low-value tasks that drain expert time. Every AI feature is built with human oversight at its core: suggestions are shown inline, humans accept, edit, or override every output, and every AI interaction is logged in the audit trail alongside every human decision. This isn't AI bolted on. It's AI built to the standard European regulators are beginning to require.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to typically implement the Cockpit?

Most customers are live within their module in a matter of a few weeks. A full platform rollout typically takes 4-6 months for a global enterprise. Our dedicated implementation team handles the technical set-up and regulatory configuration – you focus on change management.

How does EQS ensure reporter anonymity in Integrity Line?

Integrity Line uses end-to-end encryption and a purpose-built anonymous dialogue channel. We never store IP addresses or device identifiers linked to reports. Additionally, we have AI-powered case classification and anonymization. The system is independently audited and certified for compliance with the EU Whistleblower Directive's anonymity requirements.

Which regulations does the Cockpit cover out of the box?

Compliance Cockpit ships with pre-built templates and workflows for all major European compliance frameworks, including:

EU Whistleblowing Directive (all member states)

German Whistleblower Protection Act (HinSchG)

German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (LkSG)

French Anti-Corruption Law (Sapin II)

EU CSDD Directive

UK Bribery Act, GDPR, and 25+ additional frameworks

What does 'Made in Europe' mean for our data?

All EQS platform data is hosted exclusively on EU-based servers. We do not transfer data to third countries. Our infrastructure is ISO 27001-certified and GDPR-compliant by design. A Data Processing Agreement is included with every contract at no extra cost.

How does the EQS Compliance Cockpit differ from US-based platforms like Navex or OneTrust?

The primary differentiator is Data Sovereignty. US-based "Power Players" are subject to the US Cloud Act, which can compel them to provide data to US authorities regardless of where the servers are located. EQS is Made in Europe. We host all platform data on ISO 27001-certified, EU-based servers with zero data transfer to third countries. Furthermore, while US platforms often feel like "Frankenstein" products built through aggressive M&A, the Cockpit is a unified, "German-engineered" ecosystem with a consistent UI and integrated data logic.

How does EQS compare to point solutions like Whispli or CaseIQ?

Point solutions solve for a single function but create compliance silos — and silos are exactly what regulators, boards, and audit committees are increasingly unwilling to accept.

  • Vs. Whispli: Whispli is a well-designed intake tool. For organizations that need a simple reporting channel and nothing else, it does that job. What it doesn't give you is the program infrastructure around the report: the policy that should have prevented the incident, the third-party relationship that created the exposure, the analytics that surface whether this is a pattern or a one-off. For enterprise organizations with multi-jurisdictional obligations and CSDDD supply chain requirements coming into scope, an intake-only tool is the beginning of a compliance program, not the whole thing.
  • Vs. CaseIQ: CaseIQ specializes in investigation workflow — and does it well. What it doesn't give you is the compliance context around the investigation: the policy that should have prevented the incident, the third-party relationship that created the exposure, the analytics that show whether this is a pattern or an outlier. Compliance Cockpit connects the speak-up moment to the full program response. That connection is what regulators and boards expect to see documented.

The question to ask any point solution vendor: "When a case closes, how does that information flow into your policy management, your third-party risk register, and your board reporting — automatically?" If the answer requires an integration, a spreadsheet, or a human, you have a compliance silo.

Can the platform handle the "Expert Talent Shortage" in Compliance?

Compliance Cockpit increases the capacity of lean compliance teams by automating time-consuming operational work across case management, policy engagement, and approvals. Our AI-assisted features—such as Policy Buddy and case intelligence summaries, surface relevant information instantly and streamline intake, categorization, and documentation. We don't replace compliance experts. We remove administrative drag so they can focus on investigations, oversight, and building ethical culture at scale.
