EQS Integrity Line

EQS Integrity Line is whistleblowing software that lets employees and third parties report wrongdoing within an organisation. Reports can be anonymous, and a secure mailbox allows continued dialogue without disclosing the reporter’s identity. Case handling includes configurable user authorisations, access controls, and revision logs. The system supports over 80 languages and can translate cases and dialogue automatically. Compliance teams can use dashboards, charts, real-time analysis, search, and filters, and download cases in Excel format. Organisations can combine reports from letters, emails, telephone calls, or meetings; a telephone channel is available for Enterprise. EQS says the system is hosted in Germany, uses ISO 27001-certified data centres, end-to-end encryption, and two-factor authentication, and undergoes regular external security audits. The vendor says the product supports GDPR and EU Whistleblowing Directive compliance, while its reporting channel complies with WCAG 2.1. Essential costs £85.00 per month, and Professional costs £170.00 per month. A seven-day free trial of Essential begins after demo setup.

EQS Integrity Line combines anonymous reporting with case controls, multilingual support, and reporting tools. Consider the paid plan levels and the trial setup requirement when assessing fit.

EQS Integrity Line suits small and medium-sized companies considering the Essential package, as well as large companies and public-sector organisations addressed by its solution pages. It may fit teams needing anonymous reporting, case management, and compliance reporting.

EQS Integrity Line is a paid whistleblowing platform for organisations that need employees and third parties to report concerns internally. It is particularly suitable for compliance teams handling anonymous, multilingual cases across several countries, while smaller organisations can begin with a defined entry tier.

Overview

Integrity Line connects confidential intake with structured casework. Reporters can remain anonymous while exchanging messages through a secure mailbox, giving investigators a way to ask follow-up questions without exposing identities. Configurable user authorisations, case access controls and revision logs make the system better suited to sensitive investigations than a simple inbox.

Organisations can combine reports from letters, email, telephone calls and meetings with reports submitted through the system. A telephone channel is possible on Enterprise, which matters for programmes that need non-digital intake. Support for more than 80 languages and automatic translation of cases and dialogue is a practical advantage for multinational workforces, although translation should still be reviewed where legal nuance matters.

Key features

Case control and reporting

Dashboards, interactive charts, real-time analysis, search and filters help compliance staff track trends and active work. Excel downloads make it easier to move case data into established reporting processes. Workflow automation, custom intake forms and single sign-on are included capabilities, giving larger programmes room to align intake and access with internal procedures.

Security and compliance

EQS says the service is hosted in Germany in ISO 27001-certified data centres and uses end-to-end encryption, two-factor authentication and regular external security audits. The vendor also says it supports GDPR and the EU Whistleblowing Directive, while its reporting channel complies with WCAG 2.1. Those claims will appeal to organisations with formal European privacy and accessibility requirements, but buyers should confirm how their own policy and retention rules map to the chosen configuration.

Pricing

Essential is the sensible starting point for smaller and medium-sized companies that can work with standard case handling. Professional costs twice as much but adds the authorisation structure and real-time reporting that become more relevant when responsibilities and reporting demands grow. Enterprise is for organisations needing the broadest case controls, advanced reporting or a telephone channel; its price must be obtained from EQS, so budget certainty is lower.

There is no free plan. A free trial of Integrity Line Essential runs for seven days after the demo system has been set up, so the trial is time-limited and requires that setup step before access begins. Packages include email and online service-portal support, while project managers provide implementation help and best-practice consulting.

Platforms

Integrity Line is available on Android, iOS and the web, allowing reporting and case work across mobile and browser environments.

Who it's for

Choose it for a company, corporation or public-sector organisation that needs anonymous reporting, controlled investigations and multilingual operation in one programme. Essential fits smaller teams seeking a ready-to-use service; Professional suits organisations that need more configurable permissions and live reporting; Enterprise is the better match for complex, large-scale or multi-channel compliance operations. It is less suitable for buyers seeking a permanently free tool or a fully transparent Enterprise price.
