CISO Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A reliable platform to monitor compliance and GRC" March 6, 2026 4.0 Our overall experience with Scrut Automation has been very positive. The platform helped streamline our ISO and SOC 2 compliance processes by centralizing control management, policy tracking, and evidence collection. It reduced a significant amount of manual work and made it easier for our team to maintain continuous compliance instead of scrambling during audit periods. The structured approach to compliance and the clear visibility into control status helped our team understand requirements better and stay on track. Implementation was relatively smooth, and the support team was responsive whenever we needed guidance or clarification. Overall, Scrut Automation has been a valuable tool in improving our compliance posture and making the audit preparation process more efficient for our organization. Pros Scrut Automation significantly simplified our ISO and SOC 2 compliance management. The platform provides a well-structured framework for managing controls, policies, and evidence collection in a centralized way, which reduced a lot of manual effort for our team. The automated reminders and integrations make it much easier to keep track of compliance tasks and maintain continuous monitoring instead of preparing everything only during audit time. Another major advantage is the guided approach the platform provides during the compliance journey. It helps teams clearly understand what evidence is required and where gaps exist, which accelerates audit readiness. The dashboard visibility and reporting also help leadership track compliance posture easily. Additionally, the Scrut support team ( \[sensitive content hidden\]) has been very responsive and helpful during implementation and ongoing compliance activities, which made the overall experience smooth. Cons While Scrut Automation significantly simplifies compliance management, there are areas where the platform could improve. At times, customizing certain controls or workflows to match internal processes requires additional manual effort. Some integrations and evidence collection processes could also be more flexible to accommodate different tool stacks. The dashboard and reporting features are helpful, but more advanced analytics and customizable reporting options would make it easier to present compliance status to leadership and auditors. Additionally, as the platform evolves, expanding documentation and in-product guidance would further improve the onboarding experience for new users. Overall, these are relatively minor improvements compared to the value the platform provides for managing ISO and SOC 2 compliance.

Legal Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Scrut review" March 10, 2026 4.0 Overall experience has been very good - with thorough streamlined processes and procedures. The structure preparing for internal readiness, internal audits and then readying for the external audit is oriented towards ensuring success of the activities. I would like to thank \[sensitive content hidden\] for coming in mid-way, and picking up from where the earlier team left - she's been instrumental and patient in walking us through all the steps in detail, bringing in the clarity and timely closure. She has managed the transition very well and sorted the internal drop-off very well and pushed to get the final audits closed within 2025. 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 1\. During initial phases of project we were working with one IT analyst of Scrut - all details were provided to her as part of the audit process. But suddenly we got to know later that she has resigned and moved on from Scrut, and we were asked to provide all these details once again to the new IT infosec analyst. This caused a severe re-work and delay in our execution - at least by 2 to 3 weeks. will be good if client handholding can be done proactively 2. In two instances the team took longer time to just clarify and update on the policies - it took more than one week to get the updated policies per the finding shared with Scrut 3. In may policy documents, there were a lot of typos, grammatical mistakes and errors - which I had to personally correct. will be good if those can be standardised 4. Also, will be good if the platform can have a feature where we can enter all the team details (like CTO, DPO, ISG etc) and these details get automatically reflected in all the relevant policy documents (than manually doing in each document) 5. We lost a lot of time awaiting Scrut's response on some clarifications / updates to policy documents etc., Will be helpful if those can be closed faster.

The product team is always improving on their last best work. Feature optimisation and new releases are done often. We have use this app for 3years now and the improvements have been massive and following the era appropriately Pros Scrut Automation streamlines the audit process, providing an orderly repository for all control-linked evidence al in one place. It always you map quite a number of standard and regulations there by cutting the actual work in half. Risk Management, vendor management, security awareness training,asset management cloud monitoring etc all in one place. This simplifies the life of the auditor and the auditees literally. The support team is very responsive and deal with issues promptly. The App is easy to use and navigate with appeal UI Cons If automated tests were realtime, it would be the icing on the cake. Other than this this is a fantastic app. Alternatives considered [Vanta](https://www.capterra.com/p/211459/Vanta/) Reason for choosing Scrut Automation Affordability, feature complete and customer success Review Source AC Amol C. CTO Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Cost effective and easy to use compliance platform" December 22, 2025 5.0 Our overall experience with Scrut Automation has been very positive.

Overall, it is a reliable and and easy to use compliance platform that delivers good value for the time and cost saved.

The platform is: - Good value for money - Easy to use with manageable learning curve - Helpful features for understanding controls, submit evidences and ongoing compliance - Helps streamline risk management processes throughout the year Cons Initial setup and understanding took some time and getting used to it.

Head Compliance Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Compliance as a process with Scrut" April 16, 2026 4.0 What stood out for us is the RM's sharp technical knowledge with eye for detail, ensuring that no aspect of compliance is overlooked. From the initial assessment to the final certification milestone, she provided thoughtful direction, proactive support, and consistently clear communication—instilling confidence and clarity at every step. Scrut platform, coupled with the RM's advisory approach is reassuring with a continuous compliance mechanism and not treating it as a one-time exercise. Pros Scrut has been a reliable partner throughout our ISO certification journey, bringing both expertise and a level of diligence to every stage of the process. What could have been an overwhelming and complex process was transformed into a seamless, well-guided experience. Cons Some bit of the UX tweak would be helpful and feedback where necessary was given from time to time. 1) All the customized policies should have a downloadable & editable option to make it more personalized as per company branding & for future reviews. 2) For training campaign, those who are pending to complete it should only be sent a reminder for completion. Currently, all those who have completed the training also get the reminder which creates confusion. Alternatives considered [Sprinto](https://www.capterra.com/p/238326/Sprinto/) Reason for choosing Scrut Automation Clarity in Presales helped in the decision Review Source Response from Scrut Automation April 20, 2026 Thank you for such a detailed and generous review! We're thrilled Scrut could make your ISO compliance journey smooth and well-guided, that's exactly the experience we aim to deliver. It's also wonderful to hear that your RM's technical depth and proactive support made a real difference throughout the process. Your UX feedback is very specific and valuable, the downloadable/editable policy option and the targeted training reminders are both well-noted and will be passed on to our product team.

CEO Internet Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Strong compliance partner — great support, room to grow on UX" March 21, 2026 4.0 We used Scrut Automation at WotNot to achieve our SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certifications. It's a solid compliance platform backed by a great support team. A smoother UX and more pre-built templates would make it even better, but the human support — especially from \[sensitive content hidden\] — more than made up for it. Would recommend to any team starting their compliance journey. 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.
