WeKomply acquires First Whistle
Helsinki, Finland – February 3, 2026 – WeKomply, a leading Nordic provider of compliance and risk management software solutions and a portfolio company of VIA equity, today announced the acquisition of First Whistle, through its subsidiary Falcony. First Whistle, developed by Juuriharja Consulting Group Oy, is a whistleblowing software solution serving organizations across Finland. This acquisition significantly strengthens WeKomply's and Falcony's position in the Nordic risk and compliance software market.
First Whistle was developed by Finnish business ethics consulting firm Juuriharja in response to the 2019 EU Directive on whistleblowing. The First Whistle solution was quickly adopted by several long-standing Juuriharja customers and has since become a stand-alone product, maintained and serviced by Juuriharja. The solution has established itself as a trusted platform serving hundreds of organizations including Aidian, Tesi, Miltton, and Infinited Fiber Company, providing GDPR-compliant anonymous reporting channels with user-friendly case management capabilities that help organizations meet EU Directive requirements through secure, accessible design.
First Whistle's valuable customer relationships now join the WeKomply Group, where clients will benefit from Falcony's comprehensive compliance platform and the enhanced operational, technological, and financial resources of the broader organization. This integration enables customers to access additional compliance software products and expertise while maintaining the trusted whistleblowing capabilities they value.
First Whistle customers can expect continued excellence in service delivery, with the added benefit of enhanced operational, technological, financial resources and other compliance software products from the broader WeKomply Group.
“We are excited to welcome the customers of First Whistle to the Falcony family. Our mission has always been to help organizations across industries strengthen their compliance with high employee involvement. First Whistle has achieved this for their impressive customer base in Finland, and we will continue this mission and open new opportunities with the Falcony product portfolio.” – Arttu Vesterinen, CEO, Falcony (a part of WeKomply)
“Handing over the First Whistle software product and its customers to WeKomply and Falcony allows our customers to further improve their compliance and quality capabilities through a strong offering of compliance software products, while continuing to trust that the whistleblowing solution they have grown fond of will still be supplied in an excellent manner. Naturally we will continue to support our valued customers in all their other concerns and aspirations in improving business ethics and operational excellence.” – Erika Heiskanen, CEO and Partner, First Whistle/Juuriharja
