The sensible countermeasure would be making sure such group doesn't have the power to unilaterally ruin your life if you expose its corruption, or be immune from the consequences of such corruption.

The legal system is clearly not up to that task, and not only in USA.

Regrettably, improving the lot of whistleblowers may be difficult to achieve legislatively or legally — even if a majority of the citizenry approves, the institutions will resist. It may be that the best way to make a difference is through NGOs like https://whistlebloweraid.org/# since at least they don't have to play by the rules of the organization. The US military may not be able to muster proper rewards for someone like Ian Fishback, but it can't stop a charity from at least disbursing aid.
