Compare compliance tools with the facts in view.

There is no single best. Fifteen platforms are scored against the same 25 questions, so the top of the list reflects documented intake, case handling, deadlines, security and pricing. Decide which requirements you cannot move on first, then compare the platforms that survive them.

The EU hosting shortlist separates platforms that name an EU country for report storage from those that offer an EU region without naming a country, and from those that host outside the EU. A named country is the fact procurement teams can check against a sub-processor list.

The published pricing shortlist lists every platform in this category with a starting price on its own site. Most ethics platforms quote per deal, so a published figure is the quickest sign that a product can be compared before a sales call.

Published starting points in this category run from about 29 € to 99 € per month for a reporting channel, with audit logs and single sign-on often reserved for higher plans. A full ethics programme with conflicts and gifts registers is usually quoted rather than priced.

It sets confidential intake, an acknowledgment within seven days and feedback within three months, plus protection against retaliation. National laws add requirements, and several member states go further on anonymity and external reporting.

A channel answers the reporting duty. Ethics software adds the records an ethics programme needs, such as conflicts declarations, gifts registers, policy attestation and training. Many platforms sell only the channel, which is why the directory scores the two separately.

The AI governance category scores eight platforms on 25 questions, including AI Act mapping, risk classification, human oversight and post-deployment monitoring. Each profile shows which criteria were documented and which were not found in the reviewed pages.

The supply-chain due diligence category scores nine platforms against 25 questions that include supplier and site records, risk assessment, grievances, evidence and reporting, and mapping to CSDDD, CSRD/ESRS, EUDR and forced-labour obligations. Each profile lists the vendor pages reviewed.

Yes. No vendor pays for a listing, a position or a score, there is no affiliate revenue, and outbound links only carry a utm_source parameter for traffic attribution. Any vendor can challenge a fact or a score, and every accepted change is dated on the entry.
