✗ in the SOC 2 row is honest — if you're a Fortune 500 legal department, NAVEX is probably right for you. If you run a dance studio, event company, or community organization, TellSafe was built for you.

  • Need a formal compliance reporting program
  • Need a phone hotline with 24/7 operators
TELLSAFE IS RIGHT FOR YOU IF...

  • You want setup in minutes not months
  • You need surveys and waivers alongside feedback
  • You want a free plan or published subscription prices
A REAL EXAMPLE

What NAVEX can't do.

At a weekend dance event, someone wants to report something uncomfortable that happened after a late-night social. An established EthicsPoint reporting program may provide that channel. TellSafe offers a self-service option for organizers who need a direct community feedback channel; NAVEX pricing should be confirmed by quote.

TellSafe takes 5 minutes to set up, is free to start, and gives the organizer a way to reply without either party knowing who the other is. No enterprise procurement required, no legal department needed, and no one has to decide whether their concern is "corporate" enough to be worth reporting.
