CoalfireSpeak Up
Coalfire Ethics & Integrity Line

Speak up safely. We can't see who you are, by design.

If something at Coalfire doesn't look right, tell us. Reports go only to a small team in Legal and People, are encrypted on your device before they are sent, and can be made completely anonymously.

No IP address recorded No account or email needed No cookies or tracking Available 24/7

How your anonymity is protected

These protections are built into how the system works. They don't depend on anyone promising to look away.

We don't record where you are

Your IP address, browser and device are not logged when you submit or check a report. The service doesn't keep access logs for reports.

Encrypted before it leaves your device

Your report is encrypted in your browser. The server stores only unreadable data, so system administrators and hosting providers cannot read it.

Hidden file details removed

Photos and documents can carry your name, device or location. We strip that from images and Office files on your device and warn you about anything we can't clean.

Only named investigators can read it

Only the designated Legal and People investigators hold decryption keys. You can see who they are, and remove anyone involved in your concern.

Works with Tor Browser

For extra protection you can use Tor Browser on its Standard or Safer setting. We never block anonymous connections.

No cookies, trackers or analytics

This site loads nothing from any other company: no analytics, no fonts, no third-party scripts. Your visit leaves no trail with advertisers or vendors.

How it works

  1. Tell us what happened

    Describe your concern in your own words and attach any evidence. Share your name only if you choose to.

  2. Save your receipt key

    You'll get a 16-digit receipt key and set a password. Together they are the only way back to your report, and we can't recover them.

  3. Check back for a response

    We acknowledge every report within 7 days and give you feedback within 3 months. You can answer questions while staying anonymous.

Before you start: protect yourself

  • Use a personal device, not a Coalfire laptop or phone.
  • Don't use the Coalfire network or VPN. Mobile data or home internet is better.
  • Use a private or incognito window, or Tor Browser.
  • Leave out details that only you would know, unless you want to be identified.
  • Keep your receipt key somewhere only you can reach, not in a work account.

Our commitment: no retaliation

Coalfire does not tolerate retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith, whether or not the concern turns out to be substantiated. Retaliation is itself a serious violation of our Code of Conduct and will be investigated.

Nothing in our policies stops you from reporting to a regulator or government agency directly.

What you can report

If you are unsure whether something qualifies, report it anyway or ask a question. We would rather hear about it.
