Why Teams Choose This Product

Why Echo: Whistleblowing Platform fits compliance and operations teams

Echo is a whistleblowing and case management platform with two editions. Echo Lite is a zero storage email relay for anonymous reports, and Echo Plus is a full case management suite with anonymous and employee reporting handled in one place.

Echo Lite receives anonymous reports and forwards them securely to a designated officer inbox, without storing report content in the platform.

Officers take those incoming reports and log or manage them in a separate report management system that fits existing processes.

Echo Plus adds secure intake for both anonymous and employee reports, with structured categories, roles and ethical walls.

Cases in Echo Plus are managed end to end with timelines, evidence, internal notes, chat-style updates and notifications for relevant users.

Insights in Echo Plus help you track hotspots, time to close, themes and repeat issues across entities or departments.

Editions

Two ways to use Echo

Choose Echo Lite for simple intake without storage, or Echo Plus when you want full case management with chat, updates and reporting in one place.

Echo Lite

Zero storage, email relay

Anonymous by default

Use Echo Lite when you want a safe, branded reporting channel but prefer to log and manage cases in your existing report management platform.

  • Reporters stay anonymous and do not need user accounts.
  • Reports are received via secure email at officer inboxes only.
  • No report content is stored in Echo Lite itself.
  • Ideal for organizations that already have a case tracking tool.

Echo Plus

Full case management

Anonymous and employee reports

Echo Plus brings reporting, triage, investigation and follow up into one platform, with rich timelines and communication tools.

  • Supports both anonymous and logged-in employee reports.
  • Role-based access, ethical walls and structured workflows.
  • Chat-style updates, report timelines, evidence and notes in one view.
  • Notifications and insights such as hotspots and time to close.
