SAI360, a leader in integrated risk and compliance software, has acquired Lawcode GmbH, the German creators of Hintbox. Hintbox is a next-generation whistleblower hotline and case management platform, widely trusted in the DACH region. This deal aims to significantly modernize the U.S. hotline case management and reporting landscape.
The move introduces a secure, feature-rich alternative to older U.S. hotline systems. Hintbox’s no-code platform offers rapid deployment, multi-language support, anonymous two-way communication, and AI-enhanced workflows, all within a GDPR-compliant and ISO 27001-certified security framework. Hintbox was specifically developed to meet stringent EU whistleblower laws, including the EU Whistleblower Directive and Germany’s HinSchG.
This acquisition also addresses the global increase in whistleblower legislation. While formal reporting channels are now mandated across the EU, U.S. regulators like the SEC and DOJ are heightening expectations for accessible, anonymous reporting systems in sectors such as finance, healthcare, and technology.
Lawcode GmbH will continue to operate independently in Europe under the Hintbox and Lawcode brands. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
KEY QUOTES:
“Most U.S. companies are still relying on hotline case management software tools that haven’t evolved in decades. This acquisition allows us to introduce a proven, modern mobile-first platform that delivers a vastly better user experience and at a much lower cost.”
Peter Granat, CEO of SAI360
“Security and compliance are in the platform’s DNA. We’re bringing a European standard of data privacy and protection to a market that needs it.”
Ubbo Aßmus, cofounder and CEO of Lawcode GmbH
“This is an exciting opportunity that supports long-term growth for both SAI360 and Lawcode. SAI360 will bring Lawcode’s modern compliance software and no-code rapid deployment approach to the U.S. market and provide added value to Hintbox’s successful expansion across the EU.”
Edouard Didier, Managing Director at STG, which owns SAI360
