Introducing Scrut DAST: Continuous Runtime Security Unified with Compliance

As we explored in our previous blog, point‑in‑time pen testing alone leaves long exposure gaps, while noisy scanners bury teams in false positives. This results in compliance and appsec running on separate tracks, creating more chaos than clarity. it’s time for a better way. 

We’re excited to introduce Scrut DAST, our new Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) solution. It complements your pen tests with continuous runtime testing and unifies security and compliance into one unified platform.

Why we built this

Applications change daily. Dependencies shift, new vulnerabilities emerge, and attackers don’t wait for your next audit. Security leaders told us they needed:

• Continuous visibility into runtime risks, not just a one-time report.
• Findings they can trust, validated and prioritized by business impact, not buried in endless list.
• A single place for risk visibility, not scattered across platforms.
• Ready-to-use evidence to prove application security.

We built a DAST solution to deliver precisely that.

What sets Scrut DAST apart?

Continuous runtime testing

Applications evolve constantly with new code pushes, updated dependencies, and shifting user journeys. Scrut DAST keeps pace with these changes by running safe, quick scans in production or deep, authenticated scans for complex, business‑critical flows. You can schedule recurring assessments or launch them on demand, ensuring no blind spots between releases

Validated, prioritized findings

Generic scanners overwhelm teams with findings that don’t apply to them. Scrut DAST goes beyond detection: it gives you a filtered result to minimize false positives, and then groups and ranks by actual business impact. You can also get support from an expert to further validate findings or get more context. That way, engineering teams spend time fixing vulnerabilities affecting customers and regulators, not chasing noise.

Unified security and compliance

Most DAST tools stop at detection. Scrut DAST goes further, unifying application and business risks in one place so nothing slips through the cracks. Security findings automatically become compliance evidence, helping teams strengthen day-to-day protection while staying audit-ready.

Automated, scalable DAST that keeps pace with agile releases

• Automated & scalable: Keep pace with agile releases through DAST.
• Effortless oversight: Get a complete overview of exposures and see key vulnerabilities instantly.
• Flexible scan types: Choose a safe Quick Scan for production or a deep Full Scan.
• Authenticated DAST: Test logged‑in user journeys and ensure sensitive data stays protected.
• Assess risks over time: Track trends in severity and volume to guide strategic focus.
• Actionable guidance: Simple fix guides turn complex findings into clear next steps.
• SLA tracking: Stay on track with timely resolutions for every vulnerability.
• Manage findings at the resource level: Assign risks directly to the right developer in your workflow.
• Ingest third‑party findings: Pull in results from other scanners into one unified platform.

With Scrut, security and compliance don’t run in silos; they reinforce each other. It’s the bridge between protection and proof, turning security into compliance strength and compliance into security confidence, so you are not just audit-ready but really secure.
