Scrut Automation

What the company sells

Scrut Automation sells a platform that brings compliance, risk and reporting together for every entity, with role-based access. Scrut Teammates draft policies, collect evidence, detect risks, assess vendor risk and prepare for audits inside the Scrut Platform or in an MCP-compatible client. Scrut Teammates prepare audit packages, and the customer's team reviews and approves them. Scrut keeps a centralized, dynamic system of record for controls, risks, policies and evidence. Scrut uses a network of GenAI and ML models designed to mimic how a team thinks and works. Scrut models are post-trained on real-world scenarios from Scrut's in-house security experts.

Scrut Teammates detect evidence from the tech stack, map controls across 70+ frameworks and flag drift as it happens. Scrut pulls evidence from AWS, GitHub, Okta and 150+ integrations, validates its freshness and flags gaps for review. Scrut runs automated tests across the tech stack to keep continuous visibility on controls. Scrut runs continuous readiness assessments across a compliance program, producing severity-ranked findings and remediation steps ahead of the audit. Scrut generates policy drafts from live data for review and publishing, then checks policies against reality and flags gaps and drift. Scrut lets customers implement controls once and reuse them across multiple frameworks. The Unified Control Framework is updated with new frameworks and regulations. The Scrut Platform supports SOC 2 Type 1 and Type 2 preparation with prebuilt controls and automated evidence gathering. Scrut offers a Compliance Compass that produces a detailed report on the compliance frameworks that align with business priorities.

Scrut lets customers create audit projects, collaborate with internal teams and external experts, and get direct access to SOC 2 auditors within the Scrut Platform. Scrut supports audits scoped by framework or control, in-platform collaboration, and both internal and external auditors. Scrut provides in-house SOC 2 compliance experts who guide customers through control implementation and fixing control gaps. Scrut support includes dedicated Slack channels, live consultations and in-house services such as VAPT, from pre-audit preparation to post-audit.

Scrut lets customers build a custom gated trust portal to show their security posture. The Scrut trust portal shows certifications, attestations and reports in one searchable document hub organized by frameworks and controls. Scrut supports a dedicated trust portal for each entity under one unified domain. Scrut connects Trust Vault activity with CRM deals to show buyer engagement and its impact on deal movement. Scrut Teammates auto-fill prospect questionnaires using information from the customer's security documents in Scrut. Scrut questionnaire auto-fill works with CSV uploads, online portals and editable pdfs, with an option to edit before submission.

Scrut provides a pre-built risk library covering risks across major categories. Scrut risk registers support custom fields, custom categories and auto-generated Risk IDs with a custom prefix. Scrut lets customers create risks directly from tests, cloud, assets, vendors, vulnerabilities and audit findings, with source details carried over automatically. Scrut surfaces risks automatically when it detects gaps across policy drift, cloud tests and historical risk patterns. Scrut supports treatment plans, mitigation tasks with automatic reminders, approval before risks are treated, and tracing of every status change. Scrut monitors every device, code repository, cloud or custom asset, with assets discovered, labeled and updated automatically in one place.

Scrut identifies vendors through SSO integrations with Google Workspace and Azure AD, or customers can onboard vendors with bulk CSV uploads. Scrut lets customers add prospective vendors and run risk assessments before formal onboarding. Scrut fetches publicly available documents and assesses inherent risk based on vendor usage, CAIQs and business context. Scrut Teammates generate risk assessment questionnaires tailored to each vendor's inherent risk level. Scrut analyzes vendor responses with AI-driven risk scoring and remediation recommendations. Scrut gives vendors a dedicated portal for managing multiple assessments. Scrut monitors online sources and surfaces active breach data and security threats about each vendor.

Scrut offers pre-built courses for HIPAA, ISMS, GDPR and more, and customers can bring their own content as documents, videos or links. Scrut pushes automated reminders through email, Slack or Microsoft Teams. Scrut integrates with an existing MDM and brings device compliance data into the Scrut platform. Scrut processes terminations, uploads exit documents and closes out offboarding with a full audit trail. Scrut lets customers add multiple targets and choose between quick, non-intrusive or comprehensive full scans. Scrut security analysts validate scans and add contextual intelligence. Scrut runs agent-driven pentesting covering scoping, scanning, triage, validation, remediation advice and reporting, with humans verifying every finding and continuous CVE monitoring between scans.

The Scrut MCP Server lets customers query their compliance program from Claude, Cursor or any MCP client and file evidence without leaving their AI workspace. Scrut is ISO 42001 certified for AI management. Scrut never uses customer data to train shared models. Scrut encrypts all data and processes it with strict guardrails.^{[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][10][11][12][13]}
