ISO 37002:2021 provides guidelines for a whistleblowing management system based on trust, impartiality and protection: receiving reports, assessing them, addressing them and concluding cases, while protecting whistleblowers from detriment. We design speak-up channels, triage processes and investigator training.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can ISO 37002 be certified?

It is a guidance standard, so it is not certifiable on its own, but it integrates with certifiable ISO 37001 and ISO 37301 systems.
