About / Team
Built by people who have had to answer for it
PureTrace is built by people who have spent their careers in regulated financial services, from running risk, compliance and change programmes to answering for them in front of a board. Between us we have held executive and board positions (chief executive, chief operating officer and chief risk officer among them).

What it changes
What that experience changes
We have chased the indicator returns, rebuilt the committee pack the weekend before the meeting and, across the table, taken the challenge when the group number did not stand up. We also know which of those things are merely irritating and which are dangerous.
So the workflow follows the way a risk function operates: the register is laid out as a risk professional would lay it out, the approval chain has the steps a committee cycle has and the audit trail records the line of defence, because segregation-of-duties evidence turns on it.
The consultancy comes with the platform. We help you shape the register, agree the indicator set and its thresholds and bring your records across, so the platform holds your own framework.
