Whistleblower Compliance Skill

Overview

Production-ready whistleblower compliance toolkit for auditing existing reporting systems and drafting compliant policies. Covers EU Directive 2019/1937, US SOX Section 806, US Dodd-Frank, and UK Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998. Operates in two modes: Mode A (Assessment) runs an 8-phase, 56-checkpoint audit of existing systems; Mode B (Drafting) generates jurisdiction-specific reporting policies.

Table of Contents

Tools

1. Compliance Checker (scripts/whistleblower_compliance_checker.py)

Assess an existing whistleblower system against regulatory requirements. Takes organizational parameters and outputs a compliance score with priority-classified gaps.

python scripts/whistleblower_compliance_checker.py \
  --jurisdiction EU --headcount 300 --sector financial \
  --channels internal,external --has-designated-person \
  --has-confidentiality --has-gdpr-measures --has-dissemination

python scripts/whistleblower_compliance_checker.py \
  --jurisdiction US --headcount 5000 --sector healthcare \
  --channels internal --json

python scripts/whistleblower_compliance_checker.py \
  --jurisdiction UK --headcount 50 --sector technology \
  --channels none

2. Policy Scaffolder (scripts/whistleblower_policy_scaffolder.py)

Generate a whistleblower policy skeleton pre-populated with required sections per regulatory framework.

python scripts/whistleblower_policy_scaffolder.py \
  --jurisdiction EU --org-type private --headcount 500 \
  --org-name "Acme Corp"

python scripts/whistleblower_policy_scaffolder.py \
  --jurisdiction US --org-type public --headcount 10000 \
  --org-name "MegaCorp Inc" --json

python scripts/whistleblower_policy_scaffolder.py \
  --jurisdiction UK --org-type nonprofit --headcount 100 \
  --org-name "CharityOrg" --output policy-draft.md

Workflows

Mode A: Assessment Workflow

1. Gather Parameters -- Collect jurisdiction, headcount, sector, and system description 2. Run Compliance Checker -- Execute whistleblower_compliance_checker.py with parameters 3. Review Gaps -- Prioritize CRITICAL gaps first, then IMPORTANT, then IMPROVEMENT 4. Cross-Reference Checklist -- Walk through assessment_checklist.md for manual verification 5. Generate Remediation Plan -- Address gaps by priority, set deadlines per regulatory timelines

Mode B: Drafting Workflow

1. Determine Jurisdiction -- Identify applicable regulations based on headquarters and operations 2. Generate Scaffold -- Run whistleblower_policy_scaffolder.py with organization details 3. Customize Sections -- Replace placeholders with organization-specific information 4. Legal Review -- Route draft through legal counsel for jurisdiction-specific validation 5. Approval & Publication -- Obtain board/management approval and disseminate to all personnel

Three Reporting Channels

ChannelWhen UsedKey Requirements
InternalFirst preference; report to organizationAcknowledge within 7 days; feedback within 3 months
External (Regulatory)When internal fails or is inappropriateReport to competent authority; same protections apply
Public DisclosureLast resort; imminent danger or retaliationProtected only if internal/external channels exhausted

Whistleblower Protections

ProtectionDescription
Civil immunityNo liability for breach of confidentiality obligations
Criminal immunityNo criminal liability for acquiring reported information
Prohibited retaliationDismissal, demotion, harassment, blacklisting, discrimination
Burden of proof reversalEmployer must prove action was not retaliatory
Interim reliefProvisional protection during investigation
Legal aid accessAccess to legal counsel and support

Priority Classification

PriorityDefinitionExample
CRITICALLegal non-compliance; immediate regulatory riskNo reporting channel exists; no confidentiality measures
IMPORTANTSignificant gap reducing system effectivenessAcknowledgment timeline exceeds 7 days; no designated person
IMPROVEMENTEnhancement opportunity; not currently non-compliantTraining frequency below best practice; limited channel types

Troubleshooting

ProblemCauseSolution
Checker reports all CRITICALNo system parameters providedProvide accurate --channels, --has-designated-person, and other flags
Wrong jurisdiction requirementsMulti-jurisdiction entity using single jurisdictionRun checker separately per jurisdiction; use strictest requirements
Policy scaffold missing sectionsJurisdiction flag incorrectVerify --jurisdiction matches EU, US, or UK
Headcount threshold confusionEU directive has different thresholds by entity typePrivate sector: 50+ employees; public sector: all municipalities
Sector-specific gaps not flaggedGeneric sector value usedUse specific sector: financial, healthcare, defense, nuclear
GDPR checks fail for US entityUS entities may still need GDPR complianceIf processing EU citizen data, add --has-gdpr-measures
Timeline requirements unclearDifferent jurisdictions have different timelinesEU: 7-day ack, 3-month feedback; SOX: 180-day filing deadline
Policy output too genericMinimal parameters providedAdd --org-name, --org-type, and --headcount for specificity

Success Criteria

  • Compliance Coverage: Assessment covers 100% of applicable regulatory requirements for specified jurisdiction
  • Gap Identification: All CRITICAL and IMPORTANT gaps identified with clear remediation guidance
  • Policy Completeness: Generated policies include all mandatory sections per applicable regulation
  • Timeline Compliance: Policies reflect correct acknowledgment (7 days) and feedback (3 months) timelines
  • Audit Readiness: Assessment output sufficient for regulatory audit preparation and evidence gathering

Scope & Limitations

This skill covers:

  • Compliance assessment against EU Directive 2019/1937, US SOX/Dodd-Frank, UK PIDA
  • Policy scaffolding with jurisdiction-specific mandatory sections
  • Gap analysis with priority classification and remediation guidance
  • Multi-sector considerations (financial, healthcare, defense, nuclear, transport)

This skill does NOT cover:

  • Actual whistleblower case management or investigation procedures
  • Legal advice or attorney-client privileged analysis
  • Real-time regulatory monitoring or automatic updates when laws change
  • Whistleblower hotline software implementation or vendor selection
  • Cross-border reporting coordination between multiple regulators

Anti-Patterns

Anti-PatternWhy It FailsBetter Approach
Copy-pasting policy from another jurisdictionRegulations differ materially; EU requires 7-day ack, SOX has 180-day filingRun scaffolder with correct jurisdiction; customize per local requirements
Treating all gaps as equal priorityWastes resources on improvements while CRITICAL gaps remainAddress CRITICAL first, IMPORTANT second, IMPROVEMENT last
Single assessment for multi-jurisdiction orgEach jurisdiction has unique requirements and thresholdsRun separate assessments per jurisdiction; merge into unified policy
Skipping sector-specific phaseRegulated sectors (financial, healthcare) have additional requirementsAlways complete Phase 8 for regulated industries
No periodic reassessmentRegulations evolve; transposition deadlines passSchedule annual reassessment; monitor legislative changes
