Reimagine Your Investigations Workflow with GAN Integrity IRM

The sense of urgency associated with whistleblowing, case management, and investigations workflow has reached new heights over the last few years. The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has continuously incentivized whistleblowers, while the new EU Whistleblower Protection Directive, to enter force at the end of 2021, is putting pressure on companies to establish adequate tools for employees to speak up and for businesses to handle whistleblowers reports with timeliness.

Due to the complexity and sensitivity of investigations processes, technology solutions need to cater for a seamless reporting experience and an intuitive investigation process that renders impactful results and above all fosters a healthy speak-up culture.

With these objectives in mind, we are proud to announce our reimagined investigations platform designed to transform the experience of every stakeholder in the investigations workflow. Watch the video below to see the new solution in action:

With the new Investigations platform you can:

• Access independent case milestones
• Conduct multiple investigations simultaneously into one report when needed
• Plan and delegate remedial actions to anyone in the organization
• Leverage state-of-the-art reporting and analytics dashboards
• Scale your investigations workflow to meet business needs

Safe Haven for Reporters

Ensuring that reporters feel safe and confident to speak up is the first step towards a successful and impactful investigation solution. That is why, our new Investigations solution comes with a highly configurable and intuitive reporting portal that enables whistleblowers to submit concerns, follow progress of reports and communicate with investigators in full anonymity at all times.

We are also proud to launch our new platform in partnership with two industry leaders in hotline (telephony) services, Whistleblower Security and Safecall to cater for the different needs and preferences of our clients.

Bringing Users to Center Stage

Our new Investigations platform gives every stakeholder the right tools to track reports, oversee the investigations progress, and measure results and metrics, while maintaining high levels of security and confidentiality. Whether you’re a case manager handling a backlog of cases, an investigator dealing with complex incident analysis, or a CCO who would like to present meaningful insights to senior leadership, the Investigations platform provides a seamless and intuitive experience for every user .

The platform comes with enterprise-ready user governance allowing every user to benefit from a unique overview of the cases, investigations or other tasks related to their function. Unique dashboards based user attributes, will display the data and information on progress of tasks coupled to the unique access level of users, enabling individual users to only see the data relevant to them. Access equally applies to tasks, overview and reports.

Conduct Multiple Investigations

Regardless of whether the scope of report is limited or complex, the new Investigations platform enables you to get to the bottom of every case in collaboration with multiple investigators. Case managers can start one or multiple investigations under each case from inside the platform from the moment the case is opened or off the back of unanticipated case developments.

Remediate Within Your Case Closure Process

Dedicated to our vision of integrated compliance management (ICM), remedial actions are built into the new Investigations platform as part of your case management process. This inclusion ensures that, whenever valid, case managers can recommend remedial actions, assign to the relevant parties, and follow up from within the platform.

Pioneering Architecture

Cases, interviews, investigations, evidence, case notes, remedial actions, and root cause analysis are all created as separate yet connected objects. Each object can be connected to multiple other objects. For instance, evidence can serve to resolve multiple investigations, allowing different stakeholders to work on one part of a case at the same time without affecting another.

Objects also have independent life cycles, allowíng users to review interviews, edit case notes, or validate evidence all in a separate workflow process independent of the case progress workflow. Separate objects can be accessed independently, meaning that you can grant outside counselors, lawyers, or even external investigators access to review evidence or conduct an interview without accessing any other parts of a case.

“Our goal was to design a solution that empowers all stakeholders in the investigations process to efficiently and intuitively complete tasks and have access to all the information relevant to their role so they can make informed, data-driven decisions, at every stage.”

 - Hans Op Kelder, Director of Product, GAN Integrity
