A truly global Ethics Whistle-blowing service requires the highest levels of reliability and flexibility. The Ethics Helpdesk service platform has been designed to allow high scalability and flexibility, offering a futureproof service to our customers. Ethics Helpdesk has chosen Microsoft Azure, which offers the most comprehensive set of compliance offerings, as its hosting and development platform. Platform services are delivered to customers through data centres, each designed to run 24/7/365, and each employing various measures to protect operations from power failure, physical intrusion and network outages. | Microsoft Azure has a multitude of certifications and is committed to their annual renewal. These include ISO 27001 (international standard for information security management), ISO 27018 (international standard for protecting personal data in the cloud) and Cloud Security Alliance. Management security and compliance statements for Microsoft Azure are available at Microsoft’s Trust Centre. |
Compliance with the Law | How we comply with key GDPR requirements | |

The Ethics Helpdesk system adheres to
current data protection regulations. This
includes adhering to the EU GDPR, the
world's strictest such law, and its
requirements for the handling of personal
data as well as protection by default and
design. Our customers can also use the
system to comply with the EU whistle-blower
protection directive. National guidelines are updated on an annual basis to ensure that your service is compliant wherever it is offered. |
The data is kept in the EU. Because the customer controls the encryption, neither Ethics Helpdesk nor its suppliers have access to sensitive customer data. |
