Security
Trust is earned with every control.
Scrut’s approach to trust is grounded in robust internal controls, real-time monitoring, and secure-by-default architecture across every layer.
Trusted by 1500+ customers
Security isn’t a feature. It’s the foundation.
Scrut’s approach to security is built on real, uncompromising foundations—not surface-level controls. These beliefs drive every product decision we make:
Security is a product decision
Security isn’t retrofitted at Scrut. It’s embedded into our architecture, design, and feature roadmap from the start. We’re built to meet enterprise needs.
Control stays with the customer
You decide how your data is stored, accessed, and used. Whether it’s AI usage, retention policies, or access provisioning, our defaults focus on safety and autonomy—not convenience.
Transparency is non-negotiable
Clear audit trails, visible configurations, and accessible documentation. We make sure you always know what’s happening with your data and why.
We build it. We trust it. We run on it.
Our compliance and security programs on the Scrut Platform. We use the same features, automations, and monitoring that our customers do—every day.
Monitored, not just maintained
We automate control checks, evidence collection, and risk tracking in real time—because compliance is a daily practice, not a yearly panic. Strict access controls, regular vulnerability scans, and a clearly defined incident response plan are the norm.
Audit-ready, always
Our posture is validated. The controls, infrastructure, and processes go through regular independent audits. You can view our latest reports in the Trust Vault.
Certified and trusted
Our security program meets global security and privacy frameworks like SOC 2, GDPR, ISO 27001, ISO 42001, and more. Check our Trust Vault for the latest reports and certifications.
We protect your data at every step.
Scrut follows a multi-layered security approach based on ISO 27001—protecting your data across its entire lifecycle.
End-to-end encryption
We secure data in transit via TLS using HTTPS and SSL. Encryption at rest is enforced at the database level. Backup archives stored across regions are encrypted and maintained under retention and deletion policies.
Live monitoring and incident readiness
We leverage Scrut’s capabilities, along with other security tools, to continuously monitor our systems in real-time. Backups are regularly scheduled and validated against recovery time goals to ensure operational continuity in case of a failure event.
Robust access and activity control
We enforce role-based access with permission scoping and quarterly access reviews at the application level. We continuously log user access, review it quarterly, and track explicit approval trails for privileged roles. Physical office access is restricted using keycard systems and monitored by digital surveillance. Additionally, we disallow removable media usage.

We respect boundaries—digital and human.
Scrut is designed to prioritize privacy from day one. You stay in control—always.
Zero cross-customer training
Your data powers only the AI services you opt into. It’s never used to train models outside your environment or for other customers.
Minimal and purpose-bound retention
Customer data is retained for five weeks post-offboarding, archived for one year in encrypted cross-region backups, and then securely deleted.
Sub-processor Transparency
We only work with sub-processors that meet our security standards, each of which is actively documented on our Trust Vault.
What we build, we break, before anyone else can.
Scrut’s product security covers development, deployment, and post-release, so you’re protected at every layer.
Industry-leading vulnerability testing
To ensure safety, we run internal vulnerability assessments after every major release on all platforms, conduct external VAPT assessments twice a year, and track all remediations.
Certified security team
Our in-house VAPT experts hold certifications like CEH, CCNA, and EJPT, and follow CREST-backed standards for global compatibility.
Comprehensive testing coverage
We conduct assessments across all critical assets—from web apps and APIs to cloud infrastructure, mobile platforms, and source code.
We protect from the ground up, starting with our people.
We secure Scrut internally with the same rigor we offer our customers.

Real-time endpoint protection
All employee devices use full-disk encryption, USB blocking, and remote wipe via MDM. EDR and anti-malware tools are deployed with live threat intel and auto-updates.
Strict access governance
We enforce role-based, least-privilege access and require MFA for every account. Every access event is logged, monitored, and retained. We also run routine internal audits to ensure access controls and vendor integrations align with SOC 2 and ISO 27001.
A security-aware workforce
All employees complete annual security training. We reinforce awareness with phishing simulations, assessments, and ongoing policy refreshers.
