The report, produced as part of the VoiceGuard project, assesses the capacity of 150 organizations in six EU countries to manage reports of irregularities and protect whistleblowers, in compliance with European Directive 2019/1937.

The results reveal widespread shortcomings: limited or sporadic training for employees, insufficient human resources, poor management of anonymous reports, and a lack of functional independence among those responsible for the system. Sixty-five percent of organizations acknowledge needing external support to properly implement their internal procedures.

The main conclusion is that organizations react to problems but do not prevent them, and that the sector urgently needs greater professionalization in the area of whistleblower protection.
