PLATFORM OVERVIEW

Introducing EthosLine: From Speak-Up to Resolution

EthosLine is Cresen Solutions’ AI-enabled ethics hotline and case management platform, purpose-built for whistleblowing, internal investigations, and ethics reporting across global organizations.

From anonymous reporting and intelligent triage through investigation, remediation, and closure, EthosLine brings the entire case lifecycle into one secure platform. Configurable workflows, risk-based routing, SLA management, evidence tracking, and automated escalations help compliance teams manage cases consistently and ensure high-risk matters receive timely attention.

AI-assisted (human-in-the-loop) capabilities help classify reports, identify potentially related cases, summarize investigation information, surface recurring issues, and uncover emerging risk patterns-while keeping compliance professionals and investigators in control of decisions.

Designed for highly regulated industries including life sciences, financial services, and manufacturing, EthosLine helps organizations strengthen their speak-up culture while creating a more transparent, consistent, and defensible investigations process.

COMPLETE CASE MANAGEMENT

Key Capabilities

Intelligent intake, governed investigations, secure collaboration, and accountable remediation in one configurable platform.

01

Smart & Multilingual Intake

Enable employees and third parties to report concerns anonymously or openly through intuitive, multilingual reporting channels.

AI-assisted intake helps classify allegations, capture relevant information, identify risk indicators, and securely organize supporting documentation from the moment a report is received.

02

AI-Assisted Triage & Risk Prioritization

Move beyond first-in, first-out case management.

EthosLine helps assess incoming reports using configurable criteria such as allegation type, severity, geography, individuals involved, and other organizational risk factors-helping teams quickly identify matters requiring immediate attention.

03

Risk-Based Routing & Dynamic Workflows

Automatically route cases to the appropriate investigator or team based on risk, allegation type, geography, business unit, or user role.

Configurable workflows can trigger tasks, reviews, approvals, notifications, and escalations while supporting appropriate segregation of duties and access controls.

04

SLA & Investigation Aging Management

Keep Every Investigation Moving

Define configurable SLAs by case type, severity, geography, investigation stage, or other organizational criteria.
 
Automated reminders, aging alerts, and escalation workflows help teams identify cases approaching deadlines, overdue actions, and stalled investigations before they become larger compliance risks.

Track: Case Age • SLA Status • Investigation Milestones • Overdue Tasks • Escalations • Time to Closure

05

Investigation & Evidence Management

Manage investigation plans, interviews, documents, communications, findings, and supporting evidence within a centralized case record.
 
Secure access controls, timestamps, activity histories, and comprehensive audit trails help maintain a consistent and defensible record throughout the investigation lifecycle.

06

Secure Reporter Communication

Maintain confidential, two-way communication with anonymous and identified reporters throughout the case lifecycle.

Investigators can request additional information and provide appropriate status updates while protecting reporter confidentiality.

07

AI-Guided Investigations

Give Investigators Intelligence, Not Just More Data

EthosLine uses AI to assist investigators with identifying potentially related cases, summarizing case information, surfacing recurring allegations and patterns, supporting root-cause classification, and highlighting risk indicators.

AI supports the investigation process while investigators remain responsible for review, judgment, findings, and final decisions.

08

Risk-Based Escalation

Ensure critical matters reach the right people at the right time.

Configurable escalation rules can identify and route matters based on severity, allegation category, seniority involved, repeat allegations, geography, SLA status, or other organizational risk criteria.

09

Corrective & Remedial Action Tracking

Investigation Closure Shouldn't End the Compliance Process

Track corrective and preventive actions resulting from investigations, including policy changes, employee training, disciplinary actions, process improvements, and control enhancements.

Assign owners and due dates, monitor completion, and maintain a clear connection between investigation findings and remediation.

THE ETHOSLINE DIFFERENCE

Smart Investigations Ecosystem

Connect the Dots Across Your Compliance Data

An investigation rarely begins and ends with a hotline report. The signals that reveal the full story may exist across employee data, expenses, communications, monitoring alerts, training records, third-party activity, and prior cases.
 
EthosLine brings these signals together around the investigation, helping compliance teams connect people, events, transactions, allegations, and historical risk within a single investigative context.

01

Multiple Intake Channels

Capture concerns and investigation triggers from across the organization, not just the hotline.

Hotline & Ethics Line • Web Reporting • Manager/Open-Door Referrals • HR & Employee Relations • Compliance & Legal • Internal Audit • Monitoring Alerts

02

Connected Data

Enrich investigations with relevant information from enterprise and compliance systems.

HR & Employee Data • Expenses & Transactions • Third-Party Data • Communications • Training Records • Prior Cases • Risk Assessments • Compliance Monitoring Data

03

EthosLine

Intelligent Investigation & Case Management

Bring information together to create a more complete investigative picture. EthosLine helps teams link related cases, identify repeat allegations, surface relevant relationships, assess risk indicators, track investigation activity, manage evidence, monitor SLAs, and identify potential patterns across multiple data sources.

04

Intelligence & Analytics

Move beyond reviewing cases individually to understanding risk across the organization.

Trend & Pattern Analysis • Repeat Allegations • Employee & Entity Relationships • Geographic & Business-Unit Patterns • Root-Cause Analysis • Case Aging & SLA Trends • Emerging Risk Indicators

05

Action & Learning

Turn investigation findings into measurable compliance action.

Remediation & Discipline • Policy & Process Changes • Targeted Training • Monitoring Enhancements • Risk Assessment Updates • Control Improvements

CONNECTED COMPLIANCE INTELLIGENCE

From Disconnected Signals to Connected Compliance Intelligence

Multiple Signals → Connected Data → Investigation → Intelligence → Action

By connecting investigation data with broader compliance signals, EthosLine helps teams move beyond asking:

"What happened in this case?"

to understanding:

Have we seen this before?

Who or what else is connected?

Is there a broader pattern?

Where else could this risk exist?

What should we change or monitor next?

This transforms individual investigations into intelligence that can strengthen the broader compliance program.

PRIORITIZED ATTENTION

AI-Powered Case Health & Risk Indicators

Know Which Cases Need Attention Now

EthosLine brings multiple risk signals together to help compliance teams prioritize their open case portfolio.
 
Case health indicators can surface matters involving:
High-Risk Allegations • Approaching or Missed SLAs • Stalled Investigations • Overdue Actions • Repeat or Related Allegations • Escalation Triggers
Instead of relying solely on manual review, teams gain a prioritized view of where attention may be needed most.

LEADERSHIP VISIBILITY

CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT

Closed-Loop Compliance

Turn Investigation Outcomes Into Better Compliance Decisions

EthosLine doesn’t stop when a case is closed.
 
Investigation findings, root causes, trends, and remediation data can provide valuable signals for broader compliance activities including risk assessment, compliance monitoring, policies, controls, and training.
Report → Investigate → Remediate → Analyze → Monitor → Improve
This continuous feedback loop helps organizations move from reactive case management toward proactive compliance risk management.
