Why was ISO 37002 created?Evolution of the legal whistleblowing landscapeThe Whistleblowing landscape has evolved significantly over the last few years. High-profile cases have prompted new whistleblower protection regulations and legislation across the globe. Among them, we can recall the Volkswagen Emissions Scandal (2015), involving the use of illegal software to cheat emissions tests on diesel vehicles. Whistleblowers within Volkswagen provided critical information that led to the exposure of the fraud. This scandal led to global regulatory investigation and legal measures. It also sparked talks about enhancing whistleblower protection laws and corporate responsibility. Other cases such as Edward Snowden and NSA Surveillance (2013) or the Facebook Cambridge Analytica Data Scandal (2018) highlighted fatal weaknesses in company culture, whistleblower protection, data privacy, etc.
