The trust problem
Harassment. Financial fraud. A manager who crossed a line. If your employees have any doubt the hotline is anonymous, they stay quiet. When that happens, you lose your early warning system.
EQS INTEGRITY LINE · WHISTLEBLOWER SOFTWARE
Give your people a safe way to speak up.
EQS Integrity Line is whistleblower software for anonymous reporting, hotline intake, and AI-assisted case management across US compliance programs.
Trusted by 14,000+ organizations worldwide
The Stakes
Traditional whistleblower hotlines
are not enough
Most whistleblowing programs break in one of two places. Employees do not trust the channel enough to use it, or the case record sits in too many tools to hold up when someone reviews it.
The documentation problem
Sensitive cases spread across email, shared drives, and a spreadsheet leave no single place the case lives. When the DOJ or a board member asks for the audit trail, a two-minute pull turns into a week of stressful reconstruction.
Whistleblowing software that handles the report and the investigation after it
EQS Integrity Line whistleblowing software gives employees a reporting experience that asks for no account and collects no identifying data, across web, phone, or app, in their own language. It gives your compliance team AI-assisted case management: reports are classified, scored for severity, and routed to the right investigator, then run through workflows your team configures. Dashboards turn the case record into board reporting. The action log sits underneath it.
Book a demo →Core Capabilities
One system, built from both sides of the case
Whistleblower hotline, web portal, and mobile app intake
Reporters file without an account, and the platform keeps only the report itself, not the IP address, device fingerprint, or metadata that could trace it back to a person.
Anonymous two-way communication with whistleblowers
Reporters can answer follow-up questions, share documents, or check case status without revealing who they are, even to the person investigating.
Multilingual whistleblowing software for global workforces
A report submitted in Mandarin or Spanish gets AI translation trained on compliance context, so the legal meaning survives the translation.
AI-assisted whistleblower case triage and routing
Reports are categorized and routed, using rules you configure. Set the rule once. The next harassment claim lands with the investigator you named, and the policy question behind it goes somewhere else.
Secure whistleblower case management
Run the full investigation, planning, evidence, interviews, and findings, inside one permission-controlled workflow. Actions are timestamped as they happen, so the record shows what was done and when.
Board-ready dashboards, with the DOJ ECCP evidence underneath
Build the dashboard your board asks for, then change it yourself when the questions change. The same case data answers an auditor or regulator on request, so program-effectiveness evidence is a byproduct of the reporting you are running.
Investigation workflows you configure yourself
Your compliance team owns the stages, required fields, and approvals for each issue type. Change them today and the next case follows the new path.

Case study
After acquiring Majorel (~80,000 employees), Teleperformance needed one unified speak-up program instead of two, without losing the DOJ ECCP audit trail their compliance function depends on. They now run 490,000 employees across nearly 100 countries on Integrity Line, with native-language phone reporting in 90+ languages.

Why EQS
Why compliance teams choose EQS whistleblower software
You configure the platform, not IT.
Investigation workflows, routing logic, and issue types are owned by your compliance team and adjustable without an IT ticket. Build it around how your program already runs.
Board reporting stops eating your month.
Configurable dashboards with AI-assisted chart creation cover both the recurring board pack and ad-hoc pattern spotting. The time that used to go into assembling the data goes into reading it instead.
Your US program and your EU obligations run on one system.
DOJ ECCP, US state laws, and the EU Whistleblower Protection Directive are handled in the same platform, with the deadlines each one sets tracked per case. EQS pairs European data privacy heritage with more than 15 years of US compliance work for Fortune 500 enterprises.
The people supporting you have run investigations themselves.
They have sat through enforcement actions and prepared CCOs for board review. When you implement, they start from how your program already runs. Coverage is US-based in Denver and New York City, alongside a global team in Munich, London, Paris, Zurich, Hong Kong, and 10 other cities.
AI handles the first cut, your team makes the call.
Q classifies severity, recognizes patterns, reviews documents, and routes risk. Final decisions stay with a named human, and the audit trail records both the AI recommendation and the compliance officer’s action.

FAQ
Whistleblowing software FAQ
What is whistleblowing software?
Whistleblowing software is a secure system for collecting, managing, and documenting misconduct reports. It combines anonymous reporting channels with case management and a full audit trail, so compliance teams can investigate each report and show how it was handled.
Does Integrity Line satisfy DOJ ECCP requirements?
DOJ ECCP is a standard prosecutors use to judge whether a compliance program is well-designed, resourced, and effective in practice. EQS Integrity Line whistleblowing software provides the underlying evidence for that evaluation: a timestamped record of every report, routing decision, and investigation step, so your program has documentation ready when it’s reviewed.
How does EQS whistleblowing software protect anonymous reporters?
Integrity Line uses zero-tracking architecture: no IP logging, no device fingerprinting, no metadata collection tied to a reporter’s identity. Reporters can communicate throughout an investigation without that protection changing.
How does this interact with the SEC’s whistleblower program?
Employees keep the right to report to the SEC directly at any time, whatever internal channel you run. Integrity Line’s workflows are built to give employees a trustworthy first option while preserving that right in full.
Can EQS Integrity Line support a multilingual whistleblower hotline?
Yes. Reports and case communication are supported in 90+ languages, with AI translation trained on compliance-specific context rather than general text, so regulatory meaning isn’t lost in translation.
How long does implementation take?
A standard implementation goes live in under a week. Multinational programs with custom workflows and localization typically take 8–12 weeks.
