Hinweisgebersystem
The EU Whistleblower Directive and the German HinSchG require organisations of a certain size to run an internal reporting channel and to protect the people who use it. turingsecure provides that channel: anonymous or named intake, structured case handling, and the statutory deadlines built in. This is the reporting channel for wrongdoing, not the response to a security incident.
A Lawful Reporting Channel
Meet the Reporting Duty Without a Legal Project
The HinSchG obliges you to acknowledge a report within seven days and to give the reporting person feedback within three months, while keeping their identity confidential. A shared inbox cannot prove you did any of that, and it cannot protect an anonymous reporter.
turingsecure gives reporting persons a channel to submit a report anonymously or by name, and gives the case handler a structured workflow with the statutory clocks running from the moment a report arrives. Every step is logged, so the organisation can show a regulator that the duty was met.
What the Module Does
Intake, Handling, Deadlines, Confidentiality
- Anonymous or Named Intake
Reporters submit through a channel that supports both anonymous and named reports, with a secure two-way message thread that preserves anonymity.
- Structured Case Handling
Each report becomes a case with status, assigned handler and a full action log, so nothing is missed and every decision is recorded.
- Statutory Deadlines
The seven-day acknowledgement and three-month feedback clocks start automatically, so the deadlines the HinSchG sets are never quietly missed.
- Strict Confidentiality
Access to a case is limited to the assigned handlers, keeping the reporter's identity confidential as the law requires.

Staff need to know the channel exists. Trainings records the awareness training that tells them how to report.
- Policies
The reporting procedure itself is a policy. Policies keeps it approved, versioned and published to staff.
- Evidence
A regulator may ask for proof the channel operates. Evidence is where that documentation is kept current.
