OASIS Notify:
the secure reporting platform

When employees don’t trust in-house reporting systems, they’ll be wary of repercussions and won’t disclose issues – meaning everyone loses out. What’s more, the UK government’s whistleblowing guidance states that ‘it is best practice to keep disclosures confidential and handle them anonymously if requested by the worker’. Using a generic inbox or telephone hotline doesn’t guarantee confidentiality and anonymity. OASIS Notify is an ISO 27001 certified, fully encrypted whistleblowing platform which offers employees the option to submit information either confidentially, or completely anonymously.

Two-way communication – which maintains the employee’s anonymity – is fast becoming standard in organisations’ whistleblowing or ‘speak-up’ programmes. OASIS Notify uses a unique access code system, so employees can check on the status of their complaint and receive messages without giving up their anonymity. Organisations which don’t provide a follow-up mechanism risk employees losing faith in their complaints being addressed internally, and subsequently leaving the business or making their concerns public.

Organisations of any size that fail to take whistleblowing seriously risk fines and reputational damage. In the UK, changes that came into effect in April 2026, as part of the Employment Rights Act 2025, mean that anyone reporting sexual harassment must now receive whistleblowing protections against unfair treatment or dismissal. The UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) also updated its whistleblowing guidance in early 2026. European organisations are subject to the EU Whistleblower Directive, which requires any company with more than 50 employees to establish a suitable internal reporting channel. OASIS Notify is a cost-effective way to meet compliance requirements, role-model best practice and get ahead of likely guidance changes in your region, as governments around the world tighten up legislation in the wake of high-profile scandals.

Use a system which is purpose-built for whistleblowing. Trying to adopt existing digital systems or email inboxes for confidential reporting makes it much harder for your teams to follow protocol and hit regulatory deadlines. Features within OASIS Notify help your case handlers gather the necessary information, and go through the required steps, in line with internal policies and escalation procedures. The ability to categorise complaints means you can adhere to a wider set of regulations than whistleblowing legislation, such as workplace health and safety guidelines.

While the disclosure route itself should be fully confidential, with the option of complete anonymity, your whistleblowing and reporting processes should be integrated across your organisation. Using one specialist platform for all types of confidential reports makes it easier to track trends and analyse problem areas. It reduces duplication of effort and bottlenecks as the load can be spread across relevant case handlers or complaints managers. Keeping systems separate means responsibility is siloed within HR, compliance, legal, safeguarding, internal audit and information governance teams, risking unclear accountability and inconsistent investigation standards.

Confusion about where and how to make a report can prevent employees from speaking up. If your organisation has separate channels for whistleblowing, HR grievances, safeguarding, or bullying, you’re adding unnecessary friction into the process. By offering one simple, easy-to-use route, which is well-publicised in your organisation, you can encourage employees to report wrongdoing or misconduct. The usability of the system is also a consideration. OASIS Notify can be used on both PCs and mobile devices and is available in more than 50 languages. The final consideration for user adoption is privacy and security. OASIS Notify is an end-to-end encrypted platform that guarantees anonymity: reassuring employees their identity will be protected throughout the process of making reports and receiving messages and updates.
