Scrut Automation ranked #9 in G2’s 2026 Best Software Awards for GRC Products

The most meaningful recognition in software comes from the people who rely on it daily.

Scrut Automation has been named a winner in the 2026 G2 Best Software Awards, ranking #9 in the GRC Products category.

Each year, G2 recognizes the world’s best software companies based entirely on verified customer reviews and market presence data. With more than 100 million buyers turning to G2 annually, this isn’t a judges’ panel award. It is real users, sharing real experiences.

We are proud of the recognition. But more than that, we are proud of what sits behind it.

So what makes a GRC software good? Let our customers fill you in.

The reviews behind the rating

Scrut Automation currently holds a 4.9 out of 5 rating on G2, backed by 1,298 verified reviews and counting. New reviews continue to pour in from teams using Scrut to simplify compliance, manage risk, and scale their GRC programs with confidence.

Here’s what some of our customers from around the world have said about Scrut’s capabilities.

Makes certification a breeze

With over 10 million assets monitored every month and 1,700+ continuously compliant customers, Scrut is built to eliminate the manual chaos that typically comes with compliance frameworks like ISO 27001 and SOC 2. From automated testing and evidence collection to auditor-ready policy templates and deep integrations across cloud and engineering tools, Scrut brings everything under one roof so teams can focus on closing gaps instead of chasing documentation.

For Paul Vella, Director Cloud and Applications and CISO at Power Tech Consulting, that made all the difference:

Navigates multiple frameworks without multiplying effort

Getting compliant is one thing. Managing multiple frameworks without duplicating effort is another.

Scrut’s unified control mapping allows teams to reuse controls across SOC 2, ISO 27001:2022, GDPR, HIPAA, and 60+ frameworks. With ready-to-use policy templates, pre-mapped risk registers, and dedicated expert guidance, companies can move from “where do we start?” to audit-ready without building everything from scratch.

James Restivo, VP Operations and Product Development at Crow Canyon Software, shared:

Simplifies company-wide security training

Compliance does not stop at policies and controls. It requires people across the organization to understand their role in maintaining security.

Scrut’s built-in security training programs, automated task workflows, and centralized visibility make it easy to drive company-wide adoption without endless follow-ups. From onboarding to recurring compliance tasks, the platform keeps everyone aligned.

For Kyla-Rei Mulligan, Head of Culture & People at Eden Care Medical, the experience stood out:

Enterprise-level support, even for small teams

Many growing software companies are navigating security certifications for the first time. What they need is not just software, but guidance.

Scrut combines automation with hands-on expert assistance, helping teams design controls around real risks while automating monitoring, evidence collection, and recurring workflows. Whether you are preparing for your first SOC 2 audit or scaling your program across regions, the support model matters.

Randy Page, Founder & CEO at StratusCX, put it plainly:

Replaces vendor sprawl with one unified solution

Traditional compliance often means juggling multiple vendors, auditors, penetration testers, and software tools. Scrut consolidates that complexity into a single platform and point of contact, bundling external audits, certifications, and annual penetration tests while automating continuous control monitoring.

The result is fewer contracts, fewer surprises, and significantly lower costs.

Gordon Yu, Chief of Staff at Bedrock Data, summed it up:

Building for what’s next

At Scrut, innovating for the future of risk and compliance has always been the priority. As security expectations grow more complex and audits become more demanding, we are focused on making GRC not just manageable, but intelligent and proactive.

We are continuously investing in making risk and compliance simpler, faster, and more intelligent for our customers.

To every customer who has taken the time to leave a review, share feedback, and push us to build better, thank you. This recognition belongs to you as much as it does to us.
