SpeakUp, the ethics and compliance platform trusted by some of the world’s largest brands, has officially announced an expansion of its core offering by launching AI-powered disclosure and approval management solutions, named as SpeakUp Paths, and its AI Voice Agent, respectively.
According to certain reports, the stated development builds upon SpeakUp’s already comprehensive ethics and compliance suite, designed as a one-stop shop for compliance teams and employees, considering it assists them right from intake to insight.
Talk about the whole value proposition on a slightly deeper level, we begin from how the all-new AI Voice Agent delivers a guided, conversational experience, capable of capturing key details and generating structured, actionable reports for compliance teams.
More on that would reveal how, unlike traditional hotlines where callers may face long wait times or language barriers, SpeakUp’s AI Voice Agent really goes the distance to ensure instant response, consistent documentation, and privacy, doing it all without relying on third-party operators at any point whatsoever.
All in all, such a mechanism should come in handy to transform phone reporting and make it more accessible, reliable, and effective than ever before. Markedly enough, this AI voice agent will be unveiled as a part of SpeakUp Report, the company’s whistleblower solution.
Turning our attention towards SpeakUp Paths, it allows for employees to securely disclose a wide assortment of potential risks, ranging from gifts, bribery, and entertainment to personal relationships, and more. It also gives compliance teams the neccesary infrastructure to monitor issues in real time.
The platform further offers a centralized workflow which allows the same compliance teams to capture submissions, including gifting or conflict of interest in one system. Complementing that would be a secure dashboard, geared towards giving employees, on the other, an instant clear input, packaged with an ability to track the status of their submissions, reinforcing transparency and accountability at every level.
Not just that, Sienna AI, SpeakUp’s proprietary AI intelligence layer, underpins the company’s entire suite of offerings, including SpeakUp Report, SpeakUp Paths, and SpeakUp’s AI Voice Agent. By doing so, it bestows compliance teams with speed, clarity, and actionable insight at scale, while simultaneously enhancing the way information is captured, processed, and surfaced across every part of the compliance journey.
Another detail worth a mention is rooted in a facility to actually tailor things as per organizational processes. This customization stretches across intuitive access, customizable workflows, and seamless operational alignment.
Rounding up highlights would be the prospect of scalable and multidisciplinary intake, something which is especially conceived to support complex organizations. At the moment, SpeakUp operates in more than 80 languages.
To understand the significance of such a development, we must take into account how, as of late, several state Attorneys General across the country have been applying consumer protection, privacy, and anti-discrimination laws to examine how businesses use AI, including in internal decision-making. The stated mandate, like you can guess, makes it pretty much mandatory to ensure that AI-driven processes, such as employee disclosures, conflict-of-interest approvals, and policy adherence are transparent, auditable, and defensible.
As for why SpeakUp can be an ideal candidate to fill this need, the answer resides in its ability to simplify the way organizations manage risk and foster transparent workplace cultures. The company’s platform is presently focused on helping employees easily understand, report, and disclose ethics and compliance matters. On top of that, it also offers compliance officers a centralized system to manage daily workflows and act on critical issues efficiently.
SpeakUp’s excellence in what it does can be further understood once you consider it is trusted by well over 600 companies, including heavyweights like BMW, Nestle, and Randstad, along with over 10 million individuals worldwide.
“This launch reflects what compliance teams have been asking for – tools that go beyond intake to deliver clarity, speed, and real impact,” said Tim Morss, CEO of SpeakUp. “With strong momentum globally and a strategic acceleration of our operations in the US, including the appointment of Tom McNamara to our Board, we’re entering a transformative new phase for SpeakUp and our customers.”
