Panel verdict
The AI panel rates Scrut Automation 3/5, the mean of 6 judges. Scrut Automation is a security-compliance platform whose strongest showing is framework coverage at 8-9: 70-plus out-of-the-box frameworks, including NIS 2, DORA and TISAX V5.1, mapped through a Unified Control Framework onto a single control set. how scores are made

Read this page as one judge. Each weighs the same scores by what they care about.

The Lead Auditor

Weighted verdict

Certifies ISMSs for a living and has seen every folder of screenshots. Optimizes for revision-safe history, an SoA generated from live control status, and a defensible answer to "show me the state on date X". Rejects audit trails assembled the week before the audit.

Same scores as the panel view — this lens weights them the way this judge cares.

Asset & risk management depth

How this is scored

The ISMS core: asset inventory, risk methodology (identification, assessment, treatment), protection-needs inheritance, incident handling with statutory clocks.

0 — No ISMS substance; "information security" is a chapter in the marketing site.

3 — A flat risk list and an asset spreadsheet import; no treatment tracking, no inheritance, incidents live in the ticket system.

5 — Asset and risk management with configurable matrices and treatment tracking; basic incident handling; inheritance and aggregation need manual work.

8 — A real risk backbone: documented methodology (ISO 27005 or equivalent), inherited protection needs across asset relations, incident workflows with statutory reporting clocks (NIS2 24h/72h), risk acceptance with ownership.

10 — Risk management a certifier works inside: complete asset-risk-treatment chain with inheritance, continuity planning, incident reporting with authority export, and risk reporting the executive level actually reads.

Report an error

The Lead Auditor

The asset side is real — automated discovery from cloud platforms, MDM and code repositories, owner and criticality metadata, and risks created directly from an asset that sync into the register. But I found no public information on a documented risk methodology, treatment tracking, risk acceptance with ownership, protection-needs inheritance, or any incident handling with statutory reporting clocks, and for the ISMS core that silence decides the bench. 3 4

Report an error

Controls, SoA & measures

How this is scored

Control catalogs, statement of applicability, measure tracking and internal audit — whether the control side of the ISMS is operable or a checklist.

0 — A static control checklist; applicability, implementation status and evidence are the consultant's spreadsheet.

3 — Control catalogs with status fields, but no SoA generation, no measure ownership, no link between controls and risks.

5 — Controls linked to risks and measures with owners and due dates; SoA producible with manual assembly; internal audit supported by checklists.

8 — SoA on demand from live control status, measure tracking with delegation and escalation, internal audit workflows with findings management, controls carrying their own evidence.

10 — The control fabric as a living system: catalog updates versioned, SoA always current, audit programs with recurring schedules, and every control answerable with linked evidence at any moment.

Report an error

The Lead Auditor

The Statement of Applicability is a generated artifact rather than a consultant's spreadsheet: per-control applicability and justification, implementation details, policy references auto-populated at export, and a Document Version Control tab with revision history. Controls link to risks, map across frameworks through the unified control repository, and audits carry findings, requests and corrective actions. I found no public information on measure ownership with delegation and escalation, or on versioned catalog updates, which keeps this off the top bench. 3 5 6 9 10

Report an error

Framework & standard coverage

How this is scored

Which regimes the product actually operationalizes — ISO 27001, NIS2, TISAX/VDA ISA, DORA, BSI IT-Grundschutz, SOC 2 — and whether one control maps across them or each framework is a fresh island.

0 — One framework, hard-coded; anything else is "on the roadmap".

3 — Two or three frameworks as separate checklists; the same control is answered once per framework.

5 — The major regimes for its market with partial cross-mapping; newer regimes (NIS2, DORA) present as content packs of varying depth.

8 — Broad current coverage including NIS2/TISAX/DORA where relevant, one-control-many-frameworks mapping, and visible maintenance as regimes evolve.

10 — Framework coverage as a living product: dozens of regimes, genuine multi-compliance mapping on one data basis, per-industry profiles, and documented update cadence when the standard moves.

Report an error

The Lead Auditor

Seventy-plus frameworks out of the box at current versions — ISO 27001:2022, NIST CSF 2.0, TISAX V5.1, PCI DSS 4.0, with NIS 2 and DORA present — mapped one-control-many-frameworks through the Unified Control Framework, with reusable evidence and custom framework creation on a premapped control library. I found no public information on a documented update cadence when a standard moves, which is what separates a living product from a broad catalog. 4 6 7 8

Report an error

Audit readiness & evidence

How this is scored

Whether the system produces defensible proof: revision-safe history, evidence collection, reports for auditors, authorities and management.

0 — Exports are screenshots; history is overwritten in place.

3 — PDF reports exist but evidence is attached ad hoc and changes leave no reliable trail.

5 — Versioned records, standard report generators, evidence attachments per control; assembling a full audit file still takes days.

8 — Revision-safe change history, audit-scoped evidence packs on demand, management reports current at a click, auditor access roles.

10 — Audit readiness as a standing state: continuous evidence status per framework and scope, exportable proof packs an external auditor accepts as-is, and a defensible answer to "show me the state on date X".

Report an error

The Lead Auditor

The Audit Package is a genuine evidence pack on demand — one folder per requirement with linked policies, evidence, tests, findings, requests and corrective actions, exported with a framework-and-date filename — and the readiness report includes structured data an auditor can independently verify. But I found no public information on revision-safe change history across records generally, auditor access roles, or a defensible answer to 'show me the state on date X', and that answer is the one I certify against. 5 9 10 11

Report an error

Integrations & automation

How this is scored

Whether the platform feeds from the real IT estate — directory import, CMDB, ticketing, scanners, API — and automates evidence collection instead of re-typing it.

0 — A closed island: manual entry in, PDF out, no API.

3 — CSV/Excel import and export; no live connections, no API worth the name.

5 — Directory import (AD/Entra), a documented REST API for core objects, a handful of native connectors (ticketing, CMDB or SSO); automation is reminders and recurrence.

8 — Real connector set (Jira/ServiceNow-class ticketing, CMDB, cloud and endpoint sources), webhooks, SSO/SCIM, automated evidence tests with human review.

10 — The platform behaves like infrastructure: API parity for the data model, event streams, continuous control monitoring against the live estate, and automation that measurably removes the recurring toil rather than renaming it.

Report an error

The Lead Auditor

There is a documented API with scoped credentials, short-lived tokens, audit-logged actions and write paths for evidence upload and vulnerability findings, plus automated asset discovery from cloud, MDM and repository sources and automated evidence collection reusable across frameworks. I found no public information on ticketing or CMDB connectors of the Jira/ServiceNow class, on SSO or SCIM provisioning, or on webhooks, so the estate feed is real but not yet infrastructure-grade. 4 7 11 12

Report an error

European sovereignty

How this is scored

Where the security posture of the whole company actually lives and under whose law — entity, hosting, subprocessors, DPA. The risk register is itself a target.

0 — Non-EU entity, non-EU-default hosting, no public DPA or subprocessor list — for the system holding your risk register.

3 — A DPA exists and an EU region is available on request or on top tiers; subprocessor exposure to US CLOUD Act reach is broad or undocumented.

5 — EU hosting is the default, DPA and subprocessor list published; the vendor or a critical subprocessor is still within non-European jurisdictional reach.

8 — EU entity, EU hosting with named data centers, published subprocessor list free of content-touching non-EU processors, DPA and TOMs public.

10 — Jurisdictionally clean end to end: European ownership, EU-only hosting and subprocessors, on-premises or sovereign-cloud options, and the whole chain documented publicly.

Report an error

The Lead Auditor

The captured terms name two contracting paths — an Indian entity under Indian law and a US entity under Delaware law — with support hours quoted in IST and EST, and the security commitment is limited to 'commercially reasonable industry standard measures'. I found no public information on EU hosting, named data centers, a data processing agreement or a subprocessor list; for the system that would hold your risk register, nothing in the captured pages places it under European jurisdiction. 2

Pricing transparency not rated — the vendor publishes no price

How this is scored

Whether a buyer can compute the real invoice — per module, per entity, per year, with consulting unbundled — from public pages alone. Unpublished pricing is the B2B norm in this market, so this criterion describes rather than condemns; the benches weight it accordingly.

0 — No public prices at all; every configuration is a sales conversation.

3 — An entry price exists, but module add-ons, scale steps or bundled consulting make the real total incomputable.

5 — Most editions carry real numbers with billing period stated and software separated from services; at least one commonly needed module or scale step is unpriced.

8 — Every edition and module priced publicly with entity/user boundaries and setup fees stated; only genuine corporate-group contracts are custom.

10 — Complete price computability: modules, scale steps, service packages and renewal rules public, so the invoice for a 100-employee company and a certification project is a two-minute exercise.

Report an error

The Lead Auditor

Three plan tiers — Foundation, Growth and Scale — are named throughout the help documentation as feature gates, but I found no public price figures for any plan, module, or service package in the captured pages. A buyer cannot begin to compute the invoice from public information, and consulting-type services are likewise unpriced. 5 11
