What is Ethico?

The whistleblower hotline vendor is assembling a compliance suite, one module at a time.

Ethico's case management platform has added a module roughly every quarter: a Risk Assessment module, a role-based myCM dashboard, a custom chart builder in ecoReports, redesigned case follow-ups with automation workflows, category and sub-category hierarchy configuration, and a Communications Hub consolidating emails, reporter updates and comments into one place. The newest release introduces Policy+ and a Form Builder. Announcements are published as previews on LaunchNotes ahead of the actual release, so the notes are brief and forward-looking.

What is Wiki.js?

Wiki.js 3 beta.705 ships a built-in MCP server and page ownership with lifecycle rules.

Wiki.js 3 is still marked not for production, but beta.705 adds a built-in MCP server, page ownership with lifecycle rules, a feedback board that reviewers can edit and categorize, and link completion in the markdown editor. PAT scopes get a clearer dialog, which matters now that tokens are how outside clients connect.

The whistleblower hotline vendor is assembling a compliance suite, one module at a time.

◆ Current state

Ethico's case management platform has added a module roughly every quarter: a Risk Assessment module, a role-based myCM dashboard, a custom chart builder in ecoReports, redesigned case follow-ups with automation workflows, category and sub-category hierarchy configuration, and a Communications Hub consolidating emails, reporter updates and comments into one place. The newest release introduces Policy+ and a Form Builder. Announcements are published as previews on LaunchNotes ahead of the actual release, so the notes are brief and forward-looking.

◆ Where it's heading

The direction is stated plainly in the latest title — a connected compliance ecosystem rather than a hotline with a case queue. Each module extends further up the compliance lifecycle: risk assessment before an incident, policy distribution and attestation alongside it, case handling after. The consistent secondary theme is configurability, with categories, dashboards, charts and account settings all moving from fixed to customer-defined.

◆ Prediction

Policy+ and Form Builder suggest the next work is tying attestation and intake data back into case and risk reporting, since that is the connection the ecosystem framing implies. The published entries are truncated previews, so the actual scope of each release is not fully visible here.

6.3

Wiki.js 3 beta.705 ships a built-in MCP server and page ownership with lifecycle rules.

◆ Current state

Wiki.js 3 is still marked not for production, but beta.705 adds a built-in MCP server, page ownership with lifecycle rules, a feedback board that reviewers can edit and categorize, and link completion in the markdown editor. PAT scopes get a clearer dialog, which matters now that tokens are how outside clients connect.

◆ Where it's heading

The v3 betas have moved from editor features (live notes, math, draft recovery) toward governance and machine access: personal access tokens in beta.672, then MCP and page lifecycle rules here. The project is building the controls an organization needs before trusting a wiki to AI clients and to long-lived content.

◆ Prediction

Expect more MCP tools and PAT scope options in the next betas, and lifecycle rules tied into notifications for review and expiry.
