About CERRIX
Industry: Software Development
Company size: 11-50 employees
Many financial institutions still manage risk across spreadsheets, disconnected tools, and email threads. This leaves risk managers buried in admin instead of focused on what matters. CERRIX is the European GRC platform purpose-built for banks, insurers, and pension funds. Founded in 2014 in the Netherlands following a request from a Dutch bank, we were built to support real operational risk management, not just reporting. Today, we help organisations bring structure, clarity, and accountability to GRC. Risks, controls, evidence, and audit activities are managed in one integrated environment, built for DNB, AFM, and DORA from the ground up. With the acquisition of Ruler, CERRIX now connects the full risk and compliance chain. Ruler monitors the regulatory landscape and surfaces what is relevant. CERRIX structures the response, from risk assessment and control testing to audit assurance and reporting. Together, CERRIX and Ruler form the first solution connecting regulatory change directly to risk management. This is what we mean by the intelligent operating system for enterprise risk. AI automates the routine, surfaces what matters, and frees risk managers to focus on judgment and collaboration rather than chasing evidence and compiling reports. Trusted by 100+ organisations in 20+ countries. Purpose-built for financial institutions in Europe.
