The Iristrace team

About us

Helping companies reach their goals since 2014

We were born in Amsterdam in 2014, with one aim: helping companies improve how quickly they respond and how efficiently they work. We help small and large organisations digitise the way they collect information, so they can monitor their controls, mitigate risks and run audits.
