Abstract
To ensure their security, organizations reach for more and more new solutions. They
implement new co-management models based on the ideology of governance and
Compliance Management System. One of the most important elements of the latter
is the Whistleblowing Management System (hereinafter WMS), which can serve
as an effective preventive barrier for an organization and a tool for collecting information
from whistleblowers, verifying received information about violations of law
and issuing recommendations on actions to be taken. Legal regulations being introduced
in this area, both international and national, will not only allow greater access
to whistleblowing channels for the majority of society but will also contribute to build
a positive image of the whistleblower and increasing public awareness in this regard.
Organizations are often exposed to activities that threaten their security in all dimensions.
Starting with financial losses, through the most severe – image losses, or safety
of the production line, safety of employees, physical and technical security of facilities.
Therefore, it is important to conduct research that will indicate the possibilities
of maximizing the use of whistleblowers to ensure the security of organizations and
to propose improvements in this process, which should noticeably contribute to increasing
the level of security, which in these times is a priority issue.
