Scytale vs Scrut






Users have made it clear that it is difficult at times to navigate through the Scrut platform due to the user experience (UX) needing to be improved and that this can be quite overwhelming and complicated when going through their compliance journey. The user experience should be completely simplified, especially for first-timers.
While Scrut provides some human support, customers have limited dedicated expert advisory to guide them on requirements from start to end of their compliance process. Security and privacy compliance can be intimidating and many companies don’t know where to start, needing to be led through every audit requirement.
One of the biggest concerns of Scrut users is the platform’s limited automation capabilities, only able to automate a limited amount of compliance processes and evidence collection, requiring still a significant amount of manual intervention. The more automated audit-readiness processes, the less work is required from users.
Don’t go down the path of manually taking screenshots or managing spreadsheets. With automated evidence collection powered by our integrations, you can save hundreds of hours, reducing your sale cycles.
Let us be the compliance team you don’t have. With Scytale, you have a dedicated compliance expert walking you through every step of the compliance process, from audit-ready to audit stamp.
Manage your entire compliance journey all inside Scytale. Everything you need to get and stay compliant is included in the Scytale platform, including auditor-approved policy templates, automated user access reviews, security awareness training and vendor risk management.
Power-up your automated evidence collection, continuous control monitoring and smart audit management.

Scytale understands startups. They provide the kind of hands-on support and mutual respect that’s hard to find elsewhere. You don’t feel like a number and the smaller details truly matter to them.
A completely customized and streamlined security compliance process with Scytale, that we could not possibly achieve alone.
Scytale’s automation tool was exactly what we were looking for in order to make our SOC 2 efforts as fast and simple as possible.
Between the dedicated team of compliance experts and the automation platform, Scytale simplified our SOC 2 process significantly!

Scytale’s automation was the hero in our SOC 2 story, saving us months in manual evidence collection.

Scytale’s compliance automation and dedicated team, made our SOC 2 journey a very quick and simple one!
Scytale streamlined our SOC 2 readiness process with their expert-driven technology. They shared valuable insights about our security systems so we can better protect our customers’ data.
Scytale exceeded our expectations and is the perfect combination of technology and advisory. We continued operating as normal during our audit preparation.
In the past, I did the SOC 2 process by manually collecting evidence and reviewing policies, which was a disaster. Now with Scytale, getting SOC 2 compliant is simple, quick and easy to manage.
Scytale took 95% of the SOC 2 compliance workload off my shoulders. It was a great partnership right from the kickoff meeting!
While you may have access to some assistance throughout your compliance process, Scrut offers limited expert advisory or hands-on guidance. Think of it as customer support rather than compliance expert guidance.
A constant issue mentioned on G2 by Scrut users is that there are major automaton limitations, especially with automated evidence collection, as well as the platform is not user-friendly and easy to navigate.
Scrut does not offer the same solution as Scytale’s Built-In Audit. This means that you will still need to find a suitable auditor and that there will still be many traditional, external, back-and-forth processes during your audit.
Another constant issue mentioned on G2 by Scrut users is that the platform is a ‘one size fits all approach’, unable to be tailored for different industries and sized companies.
With Scytale, you get a Dedicated Compliance Expert, leading you from start to finish of your compliance process, through each audit requirement, as well as through the audit process.
Scytale provides everything you need to easily get and stay compliant, including all major compliance automation features, as well as penetration testing, AI security questionnaires, an integrated audit and hands-on expert support.
Scytale’s Built-In Audit is a unique solution, enabling customers to get teamed up with the perfect auditor and enjoy bundle pricing, easily track their audit progress, receive updates in real-time, and communicate with their auditor directly inside Scytale.
