PT Law 93/2021 sets clear standards for both internal and external reporting channels, ensuring that all reports are handled securely, fairly, and in compliance with the law.
Internal channels allow organizations to manage concerns in a controlled environment, while external channels, managed by competent authorities, serve as an alternative when internal systems are unavailable, ineffective, or pose risks to the whistleblower.
Confidentiality and restricted access are paramount. The identity of the whistleblower, as well as any information that could reveal third parties’ identities, must be protected at all times.
Organizations are also required to handle personal data in accordance with GDPR, ensuring that only relevant information is processed and unnecessary data is deleted.
Reports must be systematically documented and retained for at least five years, or longer if judicial or administrative proceedings are ongoing. Each report, whether internal or external, should be evaluated, investigated, and addressed following transparent procedures that demonstrate compliance and accountability.
iBlow’s platform ensures adherence to these provisions through encrypted communication, structured case management, and guided workflows. Organizations can maintain consistent handling of all reports, streamline documentation, and protect whistleblowers’ identities. With iBlow, managing internal and external reports becomes seamless, legally compliant, and fully secure.
