Turning Endpoint Security Into Proof of Compliance with Scrut Automation and 1Password Device Trust

It's audit season, and your compliance manager just pinged you again. They need proof that every device accessing your corporate systems meets security standards, whether it's a company laptop or a BYOD approved for work use. So you go, start exporting device logs from six different tools, cross-referencing user access reports, and praying nothing gets lost in translation.

If this sounds exhausting, you're not alone. With hybrid work models, BYOD policies for work access, and employees connecting to corporate data from anywhere on various devices, device compliance has become the bottleneck that makes even grown compliance professionals cry. 

Consider Mark's MacBook: it passes all security checks Monday morning at Headquarters with disk encryption enabled, OS updated, and firewall active. But by Wednesday, working from a client site, he gets frustrated with security popup interruptions during his presentation and temporarily disables his firewall. He forgets to re-enable it and continues accessing Salesforce, financial reports, and customer databases for the rest of the week. IT discovers the compliance violation weeks later during routine checks, with no visibility into what corporate data was accessed from the non-compliant device.

This could be happening somewhere in your organization too.

To top it off, frameworks like SOC 2 and ISO 27001 typically require organizations to maintain an inventory of authorized devices and implement controls to prevent unauthorized access from non-compliant endpoints. They're not asking for annual snapshots anymore. They want continuous proof that only secure, compliant devices touch your sensitive data.

It’s one thing to prove compliance once a year. It’s another to prove it every day in an environment that’s only getting harder to manage, especially with new regulatory standards cropping up all the time. Organizations face overlapping frameworks, distributed workforces, and the increasing use of SaaS platforms along with AI-enabled technologies. All of this adds up to fragmented oversight.

Your IT team maintains device inventories in spreadsheets. Your security team runs endpoint checks through one tool. Your compliance team exports evidence from another. When audit time comes, someone has to manually stitch all this together into something an auditor will accept.

This isn't just inefficient, it's risky! 

Manual processes mean gaps, and gaps mean failed controls. As more businesses report security incidents since going remote, compliance blind spots are unacceptable.

What if you could automatically prevent non-compliant devices from accessing corporate systems in the first place, while simultaneously generating the compliance evidence your auditors need? More importantly, what if you could catch compliance drift and alert the respective teams to take immediate action?

That's exactly what we've built with our deep integration between Scrut and 1Password Device Trust. Remember Mark's disabled firewall scenario? With our integration, 1Password Device Trust can detect that firewall violation within an hour (or faster, depending on your configuration) and can block access to sensitive systems. Simultaneously, Scrut automatically documents this compliance event, creating an audit trail that shows your controls caught the violation and took action, exactly what SOC 2 auditors want to see.

A Partnership That Makes Device Trust Audit-Ready

Scrut gives organizations a single platform to manage governance, risk, and compliance without the heavy lifting. Instead of juggling spreadsheets and screenshots, teams get automated evidence gathering, mapped controls across multiple frameworks, and real-time visibility into where they stand against requirements like SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and 60+ other frameworks. 

Even outside of audit cycles, Scrut keeps monitoring your controls continuously, pulling in real evidence and showing your compliance posture in near real time. That way, teams can stay secure every day and fix issues before they become audit blockers.

1Password Device Trust brings the same rigor to endpoint security. It ensures that only devices (managed or unmanaged) satisfying baseline device security and compliance standards can connect to company systems or sensitive data. Organizations can configure device access policies that require laptops and desktops to pass automated checks, such as encryption, OS updates, and firewall status, before access is granted. IT and Security teams can also define custom checks based on their own policies or compliance needs. Device Trust even helps end users self-remediate their device access issues through IT provided instructions and gives IT teams the ability to restrict or block access immediately if a device does not meet its checks.

Together, Scrut and 1Password close the long-standing gap between device security and compliance reporting. The integration takes the continuous device validations already happening in 1Password and pipes them directly into Scrut, where they are automatically linked to the relevant compliance controls. That means device posture data, often one of the hardest things to document, is kept up to date and audit-ready without extra manual work. No exports. No manual mapping. No spreadsheet gymnastics or tool sprawl for that matter.

How our 4-point integration keeps your device security compliance in check

Think about your current workflow. 1Password Device Trust monitors your endpoints with automated security checks running hourly by default (configurable to run more frequently) – checking encryption, patch levels, firewall status, and dozens of other controls. Device Trust acts quickly when issues are detected, but without integration, that activity does not automatically flow into your compliance program as evidence. 

The Scrut + 1Password Device Trust integration changes that. Instead of leaving device security data stranded in dashboards, this integration connects it directly to the parts of your compliance program where it matters most:

• Always-current employee device records: Every 1Password Device Trust managed device automatically attaches to the employee’s Scrut profile with current compliance status. No CSV uploads or chasing IT for updates. You finally get an accurate, audit-ready record of who is using which device.
• Access reviews with context: You can see if someone's laptop is encrypted and patched before approving their admin privileges. Instead of rubber-stamping access, you can prove that only users on secure, policy-compliant devices retain sensitive permissions.
• Near real-time asset management: Your device inventory in Scrut stays current with OS versions, serial numbers, and hardware details. While 1Password Device Trust monitors devices hourly by default (or more frequently based on your settings), the data syncs to Scrut every 24 hours.
• Turn security checks into audit evidence; Device Trust Checks from 1Password automatically contribute to compliance evidence in Scrut without you doing anything. Custom checks you build sync over too, so your unique security requirements become trackable compliance controls. Endpoint encryption, patch levels, and firewall status do not just secure your organization, they also map automatically to SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA and other relevant frameworks on Scrut.

Ready to See It in Action?

​​This integration is part of our broader mission to free teams from compliance debt and help them manage risk without slowing down their innovation. When your device security feeds directly into your compliance platform, you stop accumulating all that manual work that piles up every audit cycle. Device checks don't just protect you from threats, they automatically generate the evidence you need, freeing your team to focus on strategic risk management rather than evidence hunting.

The future of compliance is continuous, automated, and integrated. We're building that future, one partnership at a time.
