What does Scrut Automation do?
Scrut was founded in 2021. Scrut is led by Aayush Ghosh Choudhury. Scrut is headquartered in Palo Alto, California, United States.
Evidence collection
Available · Vendor states it pulls compliance evidence directly from connected tools (cloud, IdP, dev, HRMS, etc.).
Auditor workspace
Available · Auditors get invited, role-based access; findings/requests tracked in-product; automated evidence pull scoped to the audit project.
Trust center
Available · Current product page documents a branded gated trust portal with NDA, expiry and approval rules, custom domains and entity-specific sharing.
Security questionnaires
Available · Scrut Teammates drafts answers from approved security documents.
Scope and limits
Scrut Teammates drafts answers from approved security documents. The product page documents CSV upload, a completed-questionnaire ZIP with attachments, and a Chrome extension for vendor portals; human review remains necessary.
Enterprise administration
Available · Scrut documents enterprise SSO and role-based platform access, while Okta's current catalogue lists Scrut Automation with SCIM.
Scope and limits
Scrut documents enterprise SSO and role-based platform access, while Okta's current catalogue lists Scrut Automation with SCIM. Capability availability is confirmed; tier inclusion and IdP-specific lifecycle behavior still require contract confirmation.
SCIM provisioning
Available · Okta's current catalogue lists Scrut Automation with SCIM.
Scope and limits
Okta's current catalogue lists Scrut Automation with SCIM. Scrut's current OneLogin documentation describes a separate daily employee-data/SSO sync that does not modify IdP users or roles; do not confuse that connector with the Okta-listed SCIM capability. Public sources do not establish tier inclusion.
Continuous control testing
Available · Vendor describes 24/7 automated control monitoring with gap alerts, not point-in-time checks.
Multi-framework support
Partial · Core frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, PCI DSS, HIPAA, NIST AI RMF, ISO 27017/27018/27701/42001, CCPA) each have a dedicated solution page.
Scope and limits
Core frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, PCI DSS, HIPAA, NIST AI RMF, ISO 27017/27018/27701/42001, CCPA) each have a dedicated solution page. The vendor also describes a shared "Unified Control Framework" with 1,500+ overlapping controls behind the broader "70+ frameworks" claim, which implies some of the long tail is crosswalk-mapped rather than independently built; not determinable from public pages which is which.
Funding history
Scrut has raised approximately $20.5M in total venture funding since its 2021 founding, most recently a $10M growth round announced April 2024 from existing investors Lightspeed, MassMutual Ventures, and Endiya Partners (KMWorld, Apr 4, 2024).

Who does what in a SOC 2 with Scrut Automation?
Scrut Automation
Organizes the listed control, evidence, and audit workflows.
Your team
Owns policies, control decisions, exceptions, and approval of shared evidence.
The CPA firm
Sets audit scope, tests controls independently, and issues the SOC 2 report.
Scrut is compliance software, not a CPA firm; it does not issue the SOC 2 report itself. The Audit Center gives an independent, licensed auditor a scoped, invited view into the customer's evidence and controls so they can run the actual examination inside the platform, and Scrut maintains a partner directory (75+ partners per its own about-us page) that can introduce customers to auditing firms, but the attestation itself comes from a separate CPA firm.

- Which parts of native multi-framework support require another tool or service?
- What is the first-year total, including onboarding, add-ons, and the audit fee?
- What renewal increase and minimum contract term should we put in writing?
- Is the SOC 2 audit contracted with a separate CPA firm, and what does that firm charge?
