Case Study: USB Bochum GmbH digitizes whistleblowing and improves security with otris software AG

USB Bochum GmbH - Customer Case Study

USB Bochum GmbH, a municipal waste disposal company, operated an existing but analogue internal whistleblowing system. Their challenge was to modernize this system to improve its user-friendliness, data security, and processing efficiency in light of the new EU Whistleblower Directive. They partnered with otris software AG to digitize the process using the otris whistleblowing system.

The solution from otris software AG involved moving from local storage to an externally hosted, high-security server in Germany, ensuring end-to-end encryption and anonymous reporting. This provided the legally required confidentiality and data protection. The implementation resulted in a more secure, efficient process with streamlined workflows and automated deadline management for handling cases, ensuring compliance with new legal timeframes.
