Whistleblowing · Italian Legislative Decree 24/2023

Your reporting office - fully operated, not merely provided.

The German Whistleblower Protection Act requires companies with 50 or more employees to establish an internal reporting office. We deliver both elements from a single source: the secure reporting system and ongoing operations, including case management - at a predictable monthly fixed price.

The obligation

Who the law applies to

Italian Legislative Decree 24/2023 transposes the EU Whistleblower Directive (EU) 2019/1937 into Italian law. Companies with at least 50 employees must establish an internal reporting channel through which violations can be reported securely and confidentially.

  • Confidential reporting channel for reports submitted orally or in writing.
  • Acknowledgment of receipt to the reporting person within 7 days.
  • Feedback on measures taken within 3 months.
  • Protection against retaliation Dismissal, warnings or other disadvantages are prohibited.
  • Complete documentation of every report, audit-ready and compliant with data protection requirements.
Risk of fines

up to €50,000

Anyone who fails to establish a reporting channel, obstructs it or retaliates risks substantial fines, as well as reputational damage and consequences under employment law.

An outsourced reporting office reliably fulfills the obligation - without requiring you to maintain internal IT, software, or trained personnel.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about the reporting office

Under Italian Legislative Decree 24/2023, the obligation to establish an internal reporting channel applies to companies and public bodies with at least 50 employees. Irrespective of size, certain sectors (such as the financial sector) are subject to separate obligations.
Anonymous reports must be accepted and processed. A secure channel for anonymous two-way communication is not mandatory, but is highly recommended in practice - it increases trust and the number of substantiated reports. We can set it up upon request.
Yes. The law expressly permits the tasks of the internal reporting office to be assigned to an external third party. Responsibility for following up on breaches remains with the company - we handle the operational case management.
The technical reporting system can be provided at short notice. After a brief onboarding process - defining the reporting channels, responsibilities, and communication - we launch it together. We agree the precise timeline with you in our proposal.
You pay a predictable monthly fixed price instead of being billed by the hour. The price depends on the size of your company and the required scope of services. We prepare an individual proposal after a brief initial consultation.
