“Managing compliance towards the latest Infosec global standards and responding to Enterprise Infosec assessments are the most painful parts of a CTO’s job. Our approach is to combine technology with human expertise to cover even the edge cases, and thus offload most of the compliance-related work from the CTO’s table so that they can focus on building the business and not worry about compliance,” said Aayush Ghosh Choudhury, co-founder and CEO, Scrut.
Founded in 2021, Scrut’s mission is to be a virtual Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), reducing the CTOs and compliance teams’ effort in managing iInfosec compliance by ~70% and offering a single window to access all external infosec resources like auditors and penetration testers, said the company.
