# Elker

> Elker is a speak-up and case management platform for organisations handling sensitive matters. Workers raise concerns through secure multi-channel intake (whistleblowing, speak-up, incidents, complaints, surveys), with optional anonymity throughout. Every case moves through a comprehensive investigation, response, and reporting workflow built specifically for sensitive matters. Cybersecurity, information security, and granular access controls are designed into every layer of the platform following secure-by-design and privacy-by-design principles. Elker is ISO 27001 certified and SOC 2 attested. Australian owned and operated, built to help organisations protect, support, and listen to their people, and to resolve issues quickly and fairly. Elker serves clients globally across languages and cultures.

## How Elker works

The platform pairs secure multi-channel intake with comprehensive case management that takes a disclosure all the way from anonymous intake through triage, investigation, decision, communication, and board-level reporting.

Workers raise concerns through whichever channel suits the moment: a confidential whistleblowing disclosure, a speak-up survey, an incident report, a workplace complaint, or an ad-hoc message. Anonymity is an option at every step, preserved through two-way messaging that lets the organisation follow up without forcing identification.

What makes customers come to Elker is speak-up. What makes them stay is the case management. The investigation workflow, the evidence handling, the role-based access, the audit trail, the configurable response process, and the analytics for executives and the board are comprehensive enough to handle the most complex and sensitive matters end-to-end.

What makes customers trust Elker with their most sensitive data is the security architecture. Encryption at rest and in transit, role-based access with full audit trails, and configurable data residency are foundational.
