A set of five working files that organise the obligations of Cyprus's whistleblower protection law into phases of open questions, with the statutory text carried verbatim beside each duty.

This instrument concerns employers and entities in Cyprus that receive reports of breaches of EU or national law, including public bodies, private companies of all sizes, and organisations active in sectors such as financial services, waste management, and online selling. It sets out how internal reporting channels are to be established, how reports are to be handled, and how the persons who report are to be protected. The toolkit's five working files walk through these duties as phases of open questions that a business answers from its own records.

The first working file covers the information to be given to reporting persons and the conditions for receiving reports. The second addresses the handling of reports and the follow-up required. The third concerns data protection for personal data processed in the reporting process. The fourth sets out the prohibition on retaliation and related protective measures. The fifth covers the employer's obligations towards reporting persons and the internal procedures to be maintained.

Each working file presents the statutory text beside each duty, and the sections are served through a connector inside Claude. The documents that come back are dated compliance reports the business keeps in its own file. The toolkit never gives advice and never presents a perspective; it carries what the authority wrote, organised.

Which businesses in Cyprus must comply with this law?

The law reaches employers and entities that receive reports of breaches of EU or national law, including public bodies, private companies, and organisations in sectors such as financial services, waste management, and online selling. The scope depends on the activity and the legal form, not on size alone. The toolkit's working files organise the resulting duties as open questions a business answers from its own records.

What does the first working file cover?

It covers the information to be given to persons who report and the conditions for receiving their reports. The statutory text is carried verbatim beside each duty. A business answers the open questions from its own records.

How are reports handled under the second working file?

The second working file addresses the handling of reports and the follow-up that is required. It sets out the steps as open questions for the business to answer from its own records. The relevant provisions are presented beside each duty.

What does the third working file say about data protection?

It concerns the protection of personal data processed in the reporting process. The duties are organised as open questions, with the statutory text beside each one. The business answers from its own records.

What protection against retaliation does the fourth working file describe?

The fourth working file sets out the prohibition on retaliation and the related protective measures. It presents these as open questions for the business to answer from its own records. The statutory text is carried beside each duty.

What employer obligations does the fifth working file cover?

It covers the employer's obligations towards reporting persons and the internal procedures to be maintained. The duties are organised as open questions, with the statutory text beside each one. The business answers from its own records.

How is the toolkit delivered?

The sections are served through a connector inside Claude. Nothing is downloaded and nothing is installed. The business works through the open questions within that environment.

What documents does the business receive at the end?

The documents that come back are dated compliance reports. The business keeps them in its own file. They record the answers given from the business's own records.

Does the toolkit give legal advice?

The toolkit never gives advice and never presents a perspective. It carries what the authority wrote, organised as open questions. The business remains responsible for its own answers.

In what order should the working files be used?

The working files are organised by subject, not in the instrument's own order. A business may begin with the file that matches its most immediate duty. Each file presents its open questions with the statutory text beside each duty.
