What do you like best about Scrut Automation?

Most useful is the automated reminders on updating the evidence. Furthermore, a lot of controls regarding employees and vendors can be monitored from within Scrut. The dashboard provides a great overview of the status of the different frameworks you as a company have implemented. In our case this is ISO-27001:2022 , SOC2 Type II and GDPR. It also provides automatic scanning of your public cloud solution which covers a big part of the needed controls. We use Scrut Automation in combination with Confluence and Jira to be able to have the most workflow related evidence collected automatically. All in all it saves us lots of time which we can than use to improve our overall ISMS-score. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Scrut Automation?

Scrut made our SOC 2 Type 2 compliance process so much easier. The platform is super intuitive, and the automated evidence collection saved us a ton of time. We also loved how well it integrates with our existing tools, making compliance tracking seamless. The best part has been the customer support team—they’re always quick to respond, super helpful, and really proactive in guiding us through the process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not much to dislike! Like any new platform, there’s a bit of a learning curve at first, but the onboarding and support team made sure we were up to speed quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Before Scrut, compliance felt like a never-ending manual task.

What do you like best about Scrut Automation?

By far, our project manager Priyanshi continues to be the best part of our experience with our partnership with Scrut. Her guidance, patience, and ability to advocate for our needs to her team is 100% the strongest deciding factor in our decision to renew our subscription with Scrut. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scrut Automation?

The initial policy documentation is boilerplate/copy and paste for a standard AWS cloud app developer and has a lot of grammatical errors. Our model does not fit the template and it was impossible to get the compliancy team to fully grok. We had to rewrite a significant portion of the documentation ourselves without much guidance from the compliancy team. We also got paired with the absolute worst VAPT technician for our internal audit who could not use openVPN. After a month of back and forth we were elevated to the lead technician and magically everything worked fine for them. If it wasn’t for our PM, and the sunk costs to get to cert, we would have cancelled our contract. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Scrut Automation?

The number of features provided is very complete, so audits can be carried out just by looking at the data in the Scrut dashboard. Consultation and post-implementation support are easy to contact, carry out reviews, and be guided regularly once a week before the audit. Even after completing the audit, there is a monthly regular meeting to update what needs to be done next. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scrut Automation?

Language barrier: it would be easier if there were Scrut teams from each country who used the Scrut dashboard, making it easier for users to communicate with the Scrut team in the process of reviewing existing SOPs & SOP documents that needed to be created.

What do you like best about Scrut Automation?

Scut provides a solid platform for compliance, but more important for me as a startup. CEO is the fact that they helped me through the process every step of the way. They helped us build their policies helped us improve our monitoring and did a pre-audit that identified weaknesses and gaps in our processes and systems. The facilitation of the process with regular cadence calls was very helpful and the customer success people helping in the process, were experts both in the platform and in the process and were instrumental in us getting through the process successfully.

However, their customer support team is very responsive and helpful, which made the onboarding process smoother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Scrut Automation solving and how is that benefiting you?

Before adopting Scrut Automation, our compliance processes were disjointed and time-consuming, relying heavily on spreadsheets and manual tracking. Scrut has centralized our compliance management, making it easier to stay audit-ready year-round. The automated alerts and task assignments help our team stay proactive rather than reactive, ensuring we address compliance gaps before they become issues. This has not only improved our security posture but also enhanced our trust with clients, resulting in a smoother compliance journey and quicker audit cycles.
