SAI360, a Chicago-based company specializing in integrated risk and compliance software solutions, has recently announced its acquisition of Lawcode GmbH, the Germany-based creator of Hintbox. Hintbox is a whistleblower hotline and case management platform widely used across the DACH region.
With this acquisition, SAI360 aims to bring a new mobile-first platform to its users, offering an improved user experience. Hintbox is known for its rapid deployment, multi-language support, anonymous two-way communication, and AI-enhanced workflows, all within a GDPR-compliant and ISO 27001-certified security framework.
Peter Granat, CEO of SAI360, emphasized the importance of integrating ethics, governance, risk, and compliance into a single platform to help companies manage risk comprehensively. On the other hand, Lawcode GmbH, led by Ubbo Aßmus, focuses on providing Hintbox as a platform that adheres to the privacy standards set by EU whistleblower laws, including GDPR, EU Whistleblower Directive, and Germany’s HinSchG.
Following the acquisition, Lawcode GmbH will continue to operate independently in Europe under the Hintbox and Lawcode brands, ensuring continuity in its services and commitment to compliance.
This strategic move by SAI360 not only expands its product offerings but also strengthens its position in the market for risk and compliance software solutions. As companies strive to navigate the complex landscape of regulations and ethical standards, having a comprehensive platform like Hintbox becomes increasingly valuable.
