Scrut pairs SOC 2 and ISO 27001 with a long list of regional frameworks, for teams that sell abroad. It scores 72 out of 100 on our rubric and ranks fifth of six in our SOC 2 compliance software ranking, behind Secureframe at 75 and ahead of Thoropass at 52.
It carries the highest G2 rating in this set, 4.9 out of 5, and its framework list reaches into regional rules such as MAS TRM, SAMA and RBI. Pricing costs it the most: Scrut has no plans or prices, and pricing transparency scores 0 of 5, tied with Thoropass for the lowest in the ranking. Audit path and automated evidence each score 3 of 5, and for evidence, 150+ integrations falls in the rubric’s 100 to 199 band. Customisation scores 4.
What you get
Scrut organizes its product around what it calls AI Teammates, a set of named agents built into each module. Scrut says teammates such as the Evidence Collector, the Policy Architect and the Internal Auditor pull evidence, draft policies and review audit findings. Underneath the branding sits a conventional compliance stack: a compliance automation core, a vendor risk module, a trust center and an Audit Center. Two lines are new for 2026, Shadow AI Governance for discovering the AI tools employees use without approval, and DAST for continuous vulnerability scanning.
Scrut was founded in 2021 and raised a $10 million growth round led by Lightspeed in April 2024. It says it serves more than 2,500 customers across more than 65 countries.
Plans and pricing
| Plan | Price | What it adds |
|---|---|---|
| All plans | Quote only | Scrut says every plan includes all core features, modules and frameworks. Audit costs are a separate line item. |
Prices are US figures. Scrut has no plan names or dollar figures, which is why pricing transparency scores 0 of 5 here, tied with Thoropass for the lowest of the seven.
The one concrete number sits on AWS Marketplace: $15,000 a year for organizations up to 20 employees, with no further tiers shown on that listing. It earns no score credit, since our rubric counts only a vendor’s list prices. AWS Marketplace prices vary by headcount band across this set, tracked in full in our compliance software pricing study: Vanta starts at $14,000 for 1 to 20 employees, Secureframe at $15,000 for up to 100, and Drata at $15,000 for 1 to 50 employees or $32,500 for a 100-person organization. Compare the headcount bands before you compare the dollar figures.
Thoropass $8,700 No band listed 
Sprinto $9,500 Up to 100 employees 
Vanta $14,000 1 to 20 employees 
Secureframe $15,000 Up to 100 employees 
Scrut $15,000 Up to 20 employees 
Drata $15,000 1 to 50 FTE Frameworks
Scrut gives four framework counts: more than 70, 60 plus, and 50 plus and 80 plus on its AWS Marketplace listing. Each is a Scrut claim, and none is a settled count.
What is not in dispute is the regional spread. Scrut’s list includes MAS TRM and SAMA for Southeast Asian and Gulf banks, RBI’s rules for Indian financial institutions, TISAX for European automotive suppliers, DORA and NIS 2 for EU operators, plus CMMC 2.0 and NIST 800-171 for defense contractors. FedRAMP is the one federal framework missing from the list. Custom frameworks come with a CSV upload and a Unified Control Framework that maps shared controls across standards. Scrut also lists custom tests, so customisation scores 4 out of 5. Its cross-framework mapping works at the control level, which stops it short of 5.
Evidence collection and monitoring
Scrut connects to more than 150 tools across identity providers, cloud platforms, HR systems and dev tools, and runs hundreds of prebuilt automated tests across them. Evidence refreshes on a schedule rather than on a check a person remembers to run.
Teams can set recurrence intervals on tests that slip past the schedule. Automated evidence stops at 3 of 5 on our rubric, since 150+ integrations sits in the 100 to 199 band. Vanta, Sprinto, Secureframe and OneTrust all state 300 or more integrations, which scores higher here.
Audits
Scrut runs audits through an in-platform Audit Center and a partner network of auditors familiar with the platform. Scrut names Connor Consulting, 360 Advanced and Sensiba as audit partners. Teams invite their auditor directly, scope what they can see, and share evidence without emailing documents back and forth. The same framework’s internal and external audits run as separate, clonable audits, which saves rebuilding the setup each time a repeat audit comes around.
The network and the in-platform review together earn 3 of 5 on audit path. Buyers who want the audit bought and delivered inside the platform should look at Thoropass, the one vendor here that does that through its own audit firm. A SOC 2 report is signed by a licensed CPA firm, not by the platform itself.
Vendor risk
Scrut finds vendors automatically through SSO connections to Google Workspace and Azure AD, or through a bulk CSV upload. From there, Scrut’s AI teammates draft a custom questionnaire scoped to each vendor and score the risk in its answers. Scrut also fetches public vendor documents and assesses them, reads documents a vendor uploads, and monitors online sources for breach activity tied to each vendor.
That ongoing monitoring, with the discovery, questionnaires and document review, earns vendor risk 5 of 5, level with Sprinto, Vanta and OneTrust.
Trust center and security questionnaires
The trust portal runs on your own domain, and visitors can download public documents or request gated ones under NDA. Scrut’s AI teammates auto-fill prospect questionnaires from the documents and policies already live in Scrut, and answers can export as one file or push through a browser extension into some vendor portals.
Both the trust center and AI-assisted questionnaire answering are live, which scores 4 of 5 on our rubric.
Policies and people
Security training ships built in, or a team can plug in a third-party provider, and Scrut adds knowledge checks with adjustable scoring thresholds. A device agent, or an MDM integration, keeps device settings and antivirus status in sync. New hires get policy acceptance, antivirus installs and device checks handled on autopilot. Departing employees get a tracked offboarding record with exit documents attached.
Policy templates come auditor-vetted, and Scrut says policy variables let a team push a bulk update across every document instead of editing each one by hand.
Scrut added a Shadow AI Governance module in 2026. Scrut says it discovers the AI apps a company uses and brings them under governance.
Support and services
Scrut assigns a dedicated InfoSec manager to help draft policies and interpret frameworks, plus an implementation manager who owns the rollout rather than only answering tickets when something breaks. Its AWS Marketplace listing describes onboarding as fully included in the contract, covering integration setup and ongoing support.
What G2 reviewers say
Scrut holds 4.9 out of 5 from 1,328 reviews on G2, the highest average in this set. 94% of reviews are five stars and 4% are four stars.
Ease of use and responsive support lead the praise, followed by a helpful team, compliance management and compliance coverage. Complaints center on room for improvement, technical issues, missing features and the learning curve.
A reviewer on performance: “The platform lags sometimes, and the response time is slow.”
Who should buy Scrut
- Teams selling into regional markets. MAS TRM, SAMA, RBI, TISAX, DORA and NIS 2 sit in one platform.
- Buyers who read G2 star ratings closely. 4.9 out of 5 from 1,328 reviews is the highest average of the seven platforms scored.
- Defense contractors evaluating CMMC tooling specifically. Scrut holds CMMC 2.0 Level 1 and Level 2 among its frameworks, and our CMMC compliance software ranking ranks the field on that framework alone.
Who should look elsewhere
- You want a real price before the first call. Secureframe is the only vendor in this set with a starting list price.
- You want the audit delivered as part of the platform. Thoropass runs the audit itself through its own audit firm.
- You need a deeper integration catalog than Scrut’s 150+. Vanta, Sprinto and Secureframe all state 300 or more integrations, and score higher on automated evidence.
