Scrut Automation is a security-first GRC software company focused on helping organizations automate compliance, manage cyber risk, and stay continuously audit-ready. Its platform brings frameworks, controls, evidence, policies, audits, risks, assets, access reviews, vendor assessments, and trust workflows into one operating layer, reducing spreadsheet-driven work and making security programs easier to run at scale.
Built for modern, cloud-centric businesses, Scrut Automation combines workflow automation with AI assistance through Scrut Teammates. The company supports more than 60 compliance frameworks, including SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, PCI DSS, and ISO/IEC 42001, while extending beyond checklist compliance into ongoing monitoring, third-party oversight, and runtime security testing.
Offerings, Capabilities, and Integrations
Scrut Automation delivers an AI-powered GRC environment that unifies compliance operations, risk management, audit collaboration, vendor oversight, access governance, asset visibility, and trust-centered customer assurance. Its capabilities emphasize continuous control monitoring, automated evidence collection, configurable workflows, unified control mapping across frameworks, policy management, and structured remediation.
The platform is designed to work inside existing operating environments rather than alongside them. Scrut Automation integrates with cloud, identity, development, project management, HR, support, and security tools so teams can collect evidence, run tests, trigger follow-up tasks, and maintain live visibility into control health without rebuilding their workflows from scratch.
Its AI layer, Scrut Teammates, adds guided execution to the platform by helping teams evaluate evidence, suggest mitigations, create tasks, prioritize risk, and respond to questionnaires. That positions Scrut Automation as more than a documentation system; it is built to support day-to-day security and compliance operations.
