How Increff cut compliance workload by over 50% and achieved compliance 2x faster with Scrut

CONTEXT 

Building structured compliance workflows for a lean team

Increff, a fast-growing inventory and supply chain optimization platform, serves enterprise clients across India, Europe, and the Middle East—each demanding rigorous compliance with ISO 27001, SOC 1, and SOC 2. With a lean DevOps team juggling infrastructure and audit responsibilities, Increff needed a scalable solution to eliminate manual workflows, streamline evidence and policy management, and accelerate compliance without adding operational overhead.

‍
CHALLENGES 

Increff’s need for a centralized, automated compliance platform

Manual, decentralized processes: Compliance efforts were manual and consultant-driven, with no central system to track gaps, progress, or ownership.

‍

Scattered policies and evidence: Some key security policies were unavailable, and existing evidence was spread across multiple tools and individual Google Drives, making it difficult to maintain a single source of truth.

‍

High compliance upkeep: In the absence of automation, the DevOps team at Increff dedicated 6–7 months annually to managing compliance activities, resulting in a considerable workload.

‍

Unstructured training process: Employee security training lacked a centralized system for creation, grading, and tracking. Trainings were hosted on Google Drive, with no mechanism to monitor completion or policy acknowledgment. 

‍
SOLUTION

Taking on the compliance heavy lift for Increff with automation  

Increff onboarded with Scrut to reduce manual compliance work, speed up audit readiness, and prepare for enterprise deals. With an intuitive UI, automated workflows, and seamless GCP and Azure integrations, Scrut delivered quick ROI on these challenges (and more) for Increff.

POLICY MANAGEMENT

Solved policy gaps with pre-built templates and acknowledgment tracking

Scrut helped Increff manage their policies more easily by helping identify key policy gaps and suggesting ready-to-use templates mapped to relevant controls. Scrut’s built-in editor made it straightforward to create, update, and manage versions—all in one place. Once policies were published, Scrut automatically notified employees to review and accept them, and tracked acknowledgment rates—so there was no need for manual follow-ups from Increff’s end.

EVIDENCE MANAGEMENT

Organized scattered evidence with control mapping and ownership clarity

Scrut brought all of Increff’s evidence into one place, making it easy to see what’s been submitted, what’s pending, who owns what, and which version is current. What really stood out for the team was how simple it became to map the right evidence to the right control and keep an organized current audit trail. The dashboard showed real-time progress and allowed filtering by framework, so the team could prioritize what needed attention first.

EMPLOYEE TRAINING

Simplified training with quizzes, auto-reminders, and auto-logged evidence

‍

Scrut made it easy for Increff to set up a well-structured employee training program with built-in quizzes, progress tracking, and automated reminders. This made meeting key requirements like the ISO 27001-mandated ISMS training easy. Increff could tailor the training type (videos, documents, links), quiz settings (questions and scoring), and scheduling. Automated reminders eliminated manual follow-ups, and once training was complete, Scrut automated and logged the evidence collection.

IMPACT 

Bringing speed and support to Increff’s compliance program

‍

Accelerated compliance timelines: Scrut replaced Increff’s manual, consultant-led process with a centralized platform that streamlined all compliance workflows, reducing audit prep time by 50% (from 6 months to 3).

‍

Automated cloud monitoring: Scrut integrated with Increff’s GCP and Azure environments in under a week, enabling cloud compliance from Day 1 through automated control mapping, continuous checks, and clear remediation steps. 

‍

White-glove InfoSec support: Scrut’s InfoSec team ensured quick turnarounds for VAPT reports and provided hands-on help with tasks like policy creation, while the CSM team and a dedicated 24/5 Slack channel ensured fast resolution of all queries.

‍Reduced bandwidth dependency: Scrut automated evidence, policy, and training workflows—minimizing the DevOps team’s daily involvement. With ownership tracking and built-in audit logs, compliance tasks became easier to assign, monitor, and close without constant oversight

‍

“With Scrut, we have a proper structure on prioritizing tasks for each external audit. Internal audits helped us identify gaps before the external audit so that we could fix them in advance."
