Scrut
AI compliance automation platform for continuous evidence collection, risk, and multi-framework programs such as SOC 2 and ISO 27001. Scrut raised $10 million of growth capital in April 2024 from Lightspeed and MassMutual Ventures.
Security and GRC teams that need automated evidence, risk workflows, and many frameworks without building spreadsheets by hand.
Teams that only need a lightweight questionnaire tool, or buyers already committed to a giant GRC suite.
Verdict
Scrut is a compliance automation platform that collects evidence, tracks risk, and maps controls across frameworks like SOC 2 and ISO 27001. Security and GRC teams use it to keep audits moving without spreadsheet theater. It matters when continuous monitoring beats last-minute evidence hunts.
