Security & Trust
Becoming a whistleblower is risky. We want to earn your trust.
Becoming a whistleblower is risky. We want to earn your trust.
If you are considering becoming a whistleblower, you must be extremely cautious. Consider the risks:
Talk to a lawyer before you do anything else. Many whistleblowers regret waiting to speak to an attorney.
You should only discuss your case with a lawyer that you trust, over a secure channel. Never use email, web forms, regular phone calls or text messages. In-person meetings should be conducted away from all electronic devices.
Whistleblower Aid has invested significant time, energy, and money in building systems that protect our clients and prospective clients. Every member of the Whistleblower Aid team is required to read, understand, sign, and strictly follow our security policies. Our systems have been independently audited by security experts, and they are regularly improved and updated.
But we believe in our systems, and we feel comfortable recommending them even for clients with the most sensitive secrets. We hope to cultivate a cycle of increasing mutual trust between Whistleblower Aid and prospective clients.
