Scrut Automation

Pros: What I liked most about Scrut Automation was its strong focus on solving real-world compliance challenges through automation and intelligent workflows. The company’s mission to simplify security and compliance for growing businesses stood out to me, as it combines technology with a clear customer impact. I appreciated the fast-paced startup environment where innovation, ownership, and collaboration were encouraged. Teams were empowered to experiment, share ideas, and continuously improve the product. I also admired the leadership’s vision and the emphasis on building scalable solutions that help organizations manage frameworks like SOC 2 and ISO more efficiently, making compliance less complex and more accessible for modern companies.

Cons: One thing I would say about Scrut Automation is that, like many fast-growing startups, the environment moves very quickly and priorities can evolve as the product and market needs develop. While this can sometimes require teams to adapt rapidly, I see it as a natural part of working in a high-growth company. It actually provided a great opportunity to learn how to stay flexible, collaborate closely with different teams, and handle changing requirements effectively. Overall, I didn’t view it as a negative experience, but rather as a valuable learning environment that helped me grow professionally while contributing to meaningful work in the compliance automation space.

Pros: Scrut Automation significantly reduces the effort required for certification and compliance processes. The platform offers a user-friendly interface, making it easy to navigate and understand various controls and requirements without a steep learning curve.

Cons: There are noticeable issues in the cloud testing module, where multiple bugs impact usability and reliability. Additionally, the platform would benefit from more advanced customization options to better align with diverse organizational needs.

Pros: It makes our application much more safe and secure and made LifeWink on the whole a well managed organization.

Cons: The learning curve was kind of steep and was difficult to understand. Too many evidences that require way too many screeshots.

Pros: The Scrut platform is very user friendly. It's very easy to learn and implement policies and controls for ISO 27001. The customer support team is very responsive. I liked the way they guided us to solve our problems. The overall document management is quite good and user-friendly. Its good value for money.

Cons: Some times I found response time of the support team is little longer may be due to their busy schedule.

Pros: Consistent engagement to ensure customer success. End to end ownership and help complementing customer efforts leading to predictable success outcomes.

Cons: while our interaction with scrut has been very productive I would request Scrut to consider early stage startups for a more competitive pricing as our infra setup is not complex to warrant for the current premiums.

Pros: The fact that it consolidates all aspects of compliance in one location is what I found most appealing. The dashboard provides a clear picture of our current state in terms of controls and audits and is simple to use. Particularly for tracking and gathering evidence, the automated component significantly reduces manual labor.

Cons: Certain integrations require manual setup and are not very seamless. Additionally, the initial setup is a little time-consuming, particularly when mapping controllers. When handling additional data, the platform occasionally feels a little sluggish.

Pros: Scrut Automation offers strong value for the price — getting SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certified through a single platform would typically require significant time and consulting spend, and Scrut made it noticeably more affordable and efficient. [sensitive content hidden] was exceptional throughout — responsive, knowledgeable, and made the entire compliance journey feel well-guided. Great bang for the buck overall.

Cons: The platform navigation can feel clunky at times and isn't always intuitive to find what you need. Would also love to see more ready-to-use policy and control templates out of the box to speed up the early stages. Also out of the box support for Oracle cloud would be nice.

Pros: There platform is really good, it makes the process very easy specially for SMEs with small teams. The team was very professional and guided us all the way. From sales to certification, everyone we interacted with were good professionals.

Cons: The quality of policies and processes tend to be generic in nature, this is not really an issue with Scrut as they do give an option for you to customize.

Pros: Our point of contact was great to work with, very responsive, helpful, and always quick to clarify any questions we had. The platform is well organized and makes compliance management easier to track. Overall, the experience working with the Scrut team was very positive

Cons: Occasionally the scrut agent can take a little time to sync the latest updates, but it hasn’t really affected our overall experience.

Pros: Scrut Dashboard is centralized and provides visibility over the remaining action items until the 100% Compliance is achieved.

Cons: Employee Training material and content needs to be updated every year. Video Tutorial training is available for only ISO and SOC but GDPR is not covered.

Pros: Scrut provides a unified dashboard that identifies security gaps instantly. The risk assessment modules are clear, actionable, and easy to navigate even for those without a deep technical background.

Cons: Connecting complex, legacy tech stacks can be time-consuming and may require significant manual oversight during the first mapping phase.

Pros: The structured process followed to manage the various certifications and compliance requirements was truly top-class. We initially had some apprehension about the complexity involved in completing all the tasks, but the constant support, clear guidance, and on-call accessibility made the entire journey seamless. We did not miss a single milestone, and all deliverables were completed on time. The support ticketing system was also very prompt and efficient. Each risk related to our business was addressed with great clarity and ease. Overall, it was absolutely worth investing in these certifications, and choosing Scrut was the right decision.

Pros: Tool is easy to use and user friendly. Audit friendly tool and separate sections for evidence tracking and reports.

Cons: I don't see any cons in the tool so far. Sometimes in the policy section, when drafting the policy, auto save is not working which is difficult to save.

Pros: Great support throughout our Scrut readiness process. The team was quick to resolve issues and consistently proactive in monitoring and addressing concerns. Their diligence has made us feel much more confident about the security of our systems.

Cons: The platform could be done better. A few times we felt a logging issue, but it was not blocking as the monitoring system was working fine.

Pros: Affordable, easy to use, and straightforward to understand. The support team is responsive and helpful.

Cons: Automation is less advanced than some peers. Email notifications and questionnaires could use more polish.

Pros: Here's a few. The templates are really useful; they enable us to get compliance really quickly. The regular check in help. The process is very straightforward with them.

Pros: 1. Quite structured in the approach - covering all the steps and processes 2. But for some internal challenges where someone quit and hence delayed the execution, the rest of steps were provided with timely support and clarification 3. The personnel who were engaged with us were quite clear on their scope of activity & details. They were able to provide clarifications on key topics that helped progress with our analysis / updates on-time. 4. There was a bit of churn internally in scrut that caused delay, but once [sensitive content hidden] was onboarded, she immediately helped to stabilise the project, and worked to speed-up things for the times lost. [sensitive content hidden] brought in the much needed timeliness to complete the activities

Cons: $8d

Pros: The ready references of documents, integration of Scrut teammate for providing solutions and support/guidance by a human from the Scrut team.

Cons: The training campaign module - while it's well integrated in the system, it was difficult to pause, revise it.
