The BKMS® System is a whistleblowing system, technically designed as a web based service that is offered by Business Keeper AG to their customers. Whistleblowers (e.g., employees of a customer) may reveal their identity or act anonymously or pseudonymously when reporting a grievance (e.g., criminal activities such as fraud or embezzlement). The BKMS® System facilitates a dialogue between whistleblowers and examiners. Whistleblowers are enabled to set up a post box in order to exchange messages with examiners.

Business Keeper AG was awarded the European Privacy Seal for the first time in 2013 and demonstrated during the recent recertification that BKMS® still meets all applicable requirements of EU data protection law.

”This award is an important signal of trust for the whistleblowers and for our customers who use the system as a stand-alone application in their compliance management“, Kenan Tur, Founder and Director of Business Keeper AG, explains. ”With the entire measures taken within the BKMS® System we want to set the security standard for electronic whistleblowing systems, with respect to the latest technological possibilities.“

Sebastian Meissner, Head of the EuroPriSe Certification Authority: “We have been convinced once again that the BKMS® System ensures the safety and confidentiality of personal data by means of an extraordinarily high level of data security and highly differentiated access rights.”
