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 3.0 beta ships an MCP server so AI agents can work against the wiki directly.
Wiki.js 3.0 is still a beta not meant for production, but beta.705 adds a built-in MCP server, refined personal access token scopes, page lifecycle rules with page ownership, a feedback board where reviewers manage ideas, and link completion in the markdown editor. Recent betas added live notes, math, access tokens, SCIM and Excalidraw collaboration.

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.

Wiki.js 3.0 beta ships an MCP server so AI agents can work against the wiki directly.
◆ Current state
Wiki.js 3.0 is still a beta not meant for production, but beta.705 adds a built-in MCP server, refined personal access token scopes, page lifecycle rules with page ownership, a feedback board where reviewers manage ideas, and link completion in the markdown editor. Recent betas added live notes, math, access tokens, SCIM and Excalidraw collaboration.
◆ Where it's heading
Each beta adds a piece that larger teams need: SSO and SCIM, governance through ownership and lifecycle rules, and now machine access through MCP and scoped tokens. 3.0 is becoming an AI-accessible knowledge base with enterprise controls rather than a straight successor to 2.x.
◆ Prediction
Expect MCP tools to be tied to the new PAT scopes and page rules, and the beta cadence to keep adding governance features before a release candidate.
