What do you like best about Scrut Automation?

Scrut bundles key services—like auditing and penetration testing—together with their compliance software, which has made our end-to-end SOC 2 process much easier. Their team provides outstanding customer support and account management, with consistent, knowledgeable points of contact. Compared to Drata, I’m doing significantly less work and getting better results at a much lower cost. The platform includes all the same core functionality and features you'd expect from any of the leading compliance tools (Drata, Vanta, etc.), but with a much more integrated and founder-friendly experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scrut Automation?

There are occasional minor bugs—like filters not working exactly as expected—but nothing critical. Importantly, the team acknowledges these issues quickly and is responsive in fixing them. Compared to the constant churn and lack of support we saw with other vendors, Scrut has been far more reliable and collaborative. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Scrut has significantly reduced the time and effort required to maintain SOC 2 compliance. By bundling audit support, pen testing, and other services directly into the platform, they’ve eliminated the need to coordinate with multiple vendors. The platform streamlines evidence collection, policy management, and risk assessments—all in one place. Compared to other platforms we’ve used, we’re saving both time and money while getting better results and stronger support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Scrut Automation?

Scrut helped us automate many compliance tasks and organize our evidence collection into one portal. Integrations were easy to connect and had very detailed instructions.

The customer success team is very responsive and experienced. We were able to get all of our questions answered during weekly cadence calls and over email.

On top of that, Scrut easily provided the best value compared to any other GRC tools. We were able to achieve our compliance goals easily and without overpaying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scrut Automation?

All of the GRC automation tools will have automated tests, and some of them aren't relevant for us or needed manual clarification. It was easy to add a note or other clarification to those. It's not a huge deal because there isn't any software platform that will perfectly understand every company's exact infrastructure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Scrut Automation helped us achieve SOC 2 compliance. That helps us because some of our prospective customers have a vendor intake checklist that requires this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Scrut Automation?

We’re a small SaaS startup, and most SOC 2 tools out there felt bloated and overpriced for our stage—especially once you add platform fees, consulting, and audits.

Scrut was a breath of fresh air. It gave us everything we needed in one place, without the bloat. The team was fantastic—responsive, flexible, and truly supportive throughout the process. SOC 2 can be stressful, but they made it manageable with clear guidance and regular check-ins. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scrut Automation?

There were a couple of times over three months where I couldn’t log in due to scheduled platform updates. It didn’t last long, and the team fixed things quickly each time. While it was a bit inconvenient during busy periods, they were transparent about it and I expect it’ll happen less as the platform matures. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Scrut helps us manage both SOC 2 and GDPR compliance in one place. It simplifies evidence collection, tracks our controls, and automates a lot of the busywork. As a small team, this saves us a ton of time and helps us stay audit-ready without hiring a dedicated compliance person. It’s taken a lot of stress off our plate.

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 dislike about Scrut Automation?

The software and underlying databasesystem are a little buggy which sometimes results in loss of information. In the end the issues are solved. but this takes longer than needed and SA could definitely improve on that aspect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It helps us to maintain control over our ISMS-frameworks being ISO-27001, SOC2 and GDPR. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Scrut Automation?

Scrut was essential in helping us achieve ISO 27001 and SOC 2 certifications in record time

Scrut played a critical role in our compliance journey. Their team guided and supported us throughout the entire process, with a hands-on approach, constant availability, and exceptional professionalism.

They clearly know what needs to be done — they defined the entire implementation plan and ensured everything stayed on track. Their platform is excellent: it provides clear visibility into the status of each task, what's completed, and what still needs to be done to reach certification goals.

Thanks to Scrut, we not only met our compliance deadlines, but did so with confidence and clarity every step of the way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
