Responding to a growing need for secure, well designed, adaptable whistleblowing solutions, Veremark’s new product simplifies confidential reporting and amplifies case resolution.

Responding to the growing need for secure and contemporary whistleblowing solutions, Veremark has unveiled its latest innovation: a globally compliant platform designed to simplify confidential reporting and help organisations effectively resolve workplace issues.

Veremark, one of the world's leading providers of trust-enabling solutions, has developed a secure and anonymous (if they wish) reporting system that facilitates whistleblowing while ensuring full compliance with international regulations. With legal frameworks around whistleblowing and other integrity regulations continuously evolving, businesses often struggle to maintain compliance. Veremark’s new solution provides a reliable, scalable solution that helps firms outsource risk, safeguard reputations, boost trust, and improve company culture.

Safe, Anonymous (if they wish) and Highly Effective

The whistleblowing solution features a well designed and fully anonymous (if they wish) reporting interface, designed to obtain good quality information while protecting whistleblowers’ identities. The system guides users with relevant questions, enabling them to submit detailed reports and upload supporting documents or media files with ease.

The incident portal’s clutter-free dashboard offers a streamlined view of all open, in progress and resolved complaints, enabling case handlers to efficiently manage reports. Organisations can:

  • Download detailed case reports
  • View complaints by category
  • Add supporting information
  • Monitor cases until resolution

Veremark’s Chairman, Guy Underwood, said: "Having been involved in the whistleblowing industry for over 25 years, I’ve often been frustrated by the negative connotations associated with whistleblowers, who are, in most cases, simply motivated by a desire to help their organisations and society at large. In my experience, whistleblowing is rarely the first port of call—whistleblowers typically attempt to resolve issues through peers, management, or business owners first, only to be met with silence or limited support from those seeking to avoid confrontation."

David Morgan, Managing Director, Whistleblower Technology Solutions at Veremark, highlights the importance of secure whistleblowing mechanisms: “Compliant and well designed whistleblowing solutions protect not only the employee but also the employer. Our new solution provides a reassuring, confidential space for people to share concerns, improving company culture and helping leadership teams tackle issues before they escalate.”

Built for Global Compliance

As a multinational company, Veremark is committed to the highest standards of security and compliance. The firm is ISO 27001, SOC 1 and 2 certified and adheres to all local laws and industry regulations, including GDPR and the EU Whistleblowing Directive. Like its pre-employment screening solution, Veremark’s whistleblowing platform ensures end-to-end data security with:

  • Military-grade encryption for complete confidentiality
  • Anonymous two-way communication between reporters and handlers
  • Multi-language support for global accessibility
  • A flexible and well designed case resolution system
  • Full compliance with GDPR and other key integrity regulations

Employees submitting reports receive a one-time secret code for future reference, while behind the scenes, vault-like security protocols and customisable access parameters ensure sensitive information remains protected.

Scalable for Businesses of All Sizes

Designed to grow alongside businesses, Veremark’s whistleblowing solution offers flexible service tiers to meet varying organisational needs. Whether for small enterprises or global corporations, firms can tailor the offering to match their size and reporting requirements.

FAQs

What background check do I need?

This depends on the industry and type of role you are recruiting for. To determine whether you need reference checks, identity checks, bankruptcy checks, civil background checks, credit checks for employment or any of the other background checks we offer, chat to our team of dedicated account managers.

Why should employers check the background of potential employees?

Many industries have compliance-related employment check requirements. And even if your industry doesn’t, remember that your staff have access to assets and data that must be protected. When you employ a new staff member you need to be certain that they have the best interests of your business at heart. Carrying out comprehensive background checking helps mitigate risk and ensures a safer hiring decision.

How long do background checks take?

Again, this depends on the type of checks you need. Simple identity checks can be carried out in as little as a few hours but a worldwide criminal background check for instance might take several weeks. A simple pre-employment check package takes around a week. Our account managers are specialists and can provide detailed information into which checks you need and how long they will take.

Can you do a background check online?

All Veremark checks are carried out online and digitally. This eliminates the need to collect, store and manage paper documents and information making the process faster, more efficient and ensures complete safety of candidate data and documents.

What are the benefits of a background check?

In a competitive marketplace, making the right hiring decisions is key to the success of your company. Employment background checks enables you to understand more about your candidates before making crucial decisions which can have either beneficial or catastrophic effects on your business.

What does a background check show?

Background checks not only provide useful insights into a candidate’s work history, skills and education, but they can also offer richer detail into someone’s personality and character traits. This gives you a huge advantage when considering who to hire. Background checking also ensures that candidates are legally allowed to carry out certain roles, failed criminal and credit checks could prevent them from working with vulnerable people or in a financial function.
