From Black Box to Boardroom: Operationalizing Trust in AI Governance

Our mission

To liberate teams from compliance debt—and help them proactively manage risk, without slowing down innovation.

Scrut exists because spreadsheets were never enough.

Scrut is for every builder who's lost momentum to security busywork.

For every startup that hit a wall at procurement.

For every CISO tired of duct-taping GRC operations with spreadsheets.

Because real security isn’t just compliant—it’s fast, sharp, and built to scale with you.

We’re here to help modern enterprises move beyond checklists and into the next era of risk-first, intelligence-driven security.

Born from compliance bottlenecks, built for momentum.

Scrut Automation was born out of firsthand frustration.

When our founders were building their previous startup, enterprise buyers loved the pitch. Until they asked us the question every fast-growing SaaS company dreads:

“Are you SOC 2 compliant?”

What followed was chaos: scattered controls, compliance consultants, security spreadsheets, and a GRC maze that slowed everything to a crawl. So we did what builders do best: we hacked together our own automation to make audits painless.

What started as an internal fix became Scrut: a security-first GRC platform designed to help growth-stage companies move faster, without risking what matters.

Meet the founders Scrut from scratch.

Aayush Ghosh Choudhury

Co-Founder & CEO

Aayush Ghosh Choudhury

From consulting at McKinsey to building a procurement SaaS startup, Aayush saw firsthand how compliance could kill momentum. When legacy GRC tools slowed down their go-to-market, he co-built an internal solution, and discovered it was a bigger opportunity than the product they were pitching.

“Scrut wasn’t the company we planned to build. It was the one we had to build because we lived the pain, and knew it didn’t have to be this hard.”

Jayesh Gadewar

Co-Founder & CTO

Jayesh Gadewar

Jayesh’s journey started with a gaming server business when he was 13 and led him to shipping products and leading teams by 20. When compliance blocked their roadmap, he wrote the automation to solve it, and never looked back.

“I built Scrut so engineers like me never lose sleep over screenshots and spreadsheets.”

Kush Kaushik

Co-Founder

Kush Kaushik

Kush has led over 3,000 audits across frameworks like ISO, SOC 2, and PCI. He brings decades of infosec depth—and a vast network of auditors, consultants, and edge-case know-how that anchors Scrut’s credibility with CISOs and regulators alike.

“Compliance without context is just paperwork. Our job is to change that.”

The S.P.A.R.K. that drives us to show up and build better everyday.

At Scrut, culture shows up in the little things—the way someone jumps in to unblock a teammate, the energy in standups when we’re racing toward a launch,
or how we take a breath after a win—then dive into the next big challenge, hungry to build what’s next. It’s how we work, not something we recite.

Show up & own it.

We don’t wait to be told. We take charge, solve problems, and own the outcome—no matter our role.

Push whatʼs possible.

At Scrut, innovation happens everyday. We question the norm, test wild ideas, and create smarter ways to push innovation.

Always keep it candid.

We believe in open conversations—feedback isn’t scary at Scrut. We share our wins, failures, and everything in between.

Root for the customer

We’re obsessed with simplifying the complex, so our customers can shine. Before pushing any feature, fix, or decision, we ask, “Will this help our customer?”

Keep growing, inside & out

We care about your growth—not just as a professional, but as a person. Whether it’s learning a new skill, prioritizing mental health, or just taking time to breathe, we’ve got your back.
