DIN EN ISO 37002 — Whistleblowing management
ISO 37002 provides guidance for effective whistleblowing management systems. It supports the practical implementation of the German Whistleblower Protection Act (HinSchG).
What does the standard cover?
The guidance explains how to design reporting channels, confidentiality and case handling so whistleblowers are protected and reports are investigated consistently. As guidance, ISO 37002 is not certifiable; it provides a professional basis for advising on and implementing whistleblowing systems.
Who is the standard relevant to?
- Companies required to establish internal reporting channels under HinSchG
- Organisations seeking to professionalise their existing whistleblowing system
- Compliance managers who need clear records of confidentiality and case handling
