Secure whistleblowing channel for businesses
Roll out the internal whistleblowing channel required by Law 2/2023 and protect whistleblowers with real anonymity, confidentiality and end-to-end traceability.
A whistleblowing channel your team dares to use
With Horalia, anyone can file a report in two minutes from their phone or computer, without giving their name if they prefer. Anonymity is real: no identifying data is stored, and the conversation with the people in charge of the ethics channel stays open through a tracking code.
- Guided form by category: workplace or sexual harassment, fraud, corruption, discrimination, conflicts of interest or environmental breaches.
- Anonymous or identified reports, as the whistleblower prefers, with the option to leave a verbal message.
- Attach evidence — documents, images or audio — from the report form itself.
- A tracking code to follow the case and answer the investigator's questions without revealing any identity.
Comply with Law 2/2023 without paperwork or extra tools
Spanish Law 2/2023, of 20 February, which transposes the EU whistleblowing directive, requires every company with 50 or more employees to run an internal whistleblowing channel.
An ethics channel open to everyone
The whistleblowing channel must be available to employees, but also to former employees, candidates, interns, freelancers, suppliers and shareholders, and must accept written, verbal and anonymous reports.
Designated System officers and an approved policy
The governing body appoints who answers for the internal reporting system — a single person or a collegiate body, and in Horalia you assign as many as you need — and approves the channel policy, after consulting the workers' legal representatives.
Legal deadlines you cannot miss
Acknowledgement of receipt within 7 calendar days and an investigation closed within 3 months, extendable by 3 more in particularly complex cases.
Case register, confidentiality and no retaliation
Every report received must be logged, the identity of the whistleblower and of the person concerned must be protected, and any retaliation is expressly forbidden.
Handle every report with full traceability
Each report opens a case with its own workflow. Horalia logs who did what and when, warns you about the deadlines set by Law 2/2023 and builds the case register you can hand over to the competent authority.
- A single inbox with the status of every report: received, under investigation, resolved or closed.
- Assign several officers and investigators by report type, with restricted access to each case.
- Automatic reminders for the 7-day acknowledgement and the 3-month investigation deadline.
- Tamper-proof audit trail and an exportable case register for inspections and compliance audits.
Confidentiality and privacy by design
An ethics channel only works if people trust it. That is why Horalia protects every report with the safeguards required by Law 2/2023 and the GDPR.
Real anonymity
This is no suggestion box: reports can be filed without recording the whistleblower's identity or IP address.
End-to-end encryption
Reports and attachments are encrypted in transit and at rest on servers hosted in the European Union.
GDPR compliance
Legal basis, privacy notices and data processing aligned with the GDPR and Spanish data protection law.
Automatic retention and deletion
Data is deleted once it is no longer needed and never kept for more than 10 years, exactly as the law requires.
Strict roles and permissions
Only the designated System officers and investigators can open the content of a case.
Audit log
Every access and every change is recorded, so you can prove that the whistleblowing channel works as it should.
What you risk without a whistleblowing channel
Having no ethics channel, or failing to run it properly, is a very serious infringement under Law 2/2023.
€0
Maximum fine for individuals in cases of very serious infringements.
€0
Maximum penalty for legal entities, on top of the sanction being made public.
