Digital & Mobile Intake

Digital and mobile ethics reporting that meets employees where they are

Not everyone wants to make a phone call. Ethico's digital intake options—web forms, mobile reporting, SMS, QR codes—capture reports however employees prefer to share them. Magic link access eliminates friction. Every channel feeds the same MyCM platform for unified investigation and analytics.
