Scrut Automation, the company behind the next-generation Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) platform for high-growth organizations, has officially introduced Scrut Teammates-a new suite of verticalized AI agents designed to modernize and streamline compliance and cyber risk management. Purpose-built for scaling enterprises, Scrut Teammates enhances the company’s core GRC platform with advanced automation that brings speed, intelligence, and scalability to risk and compliance workflows, empowering businesses to pursue growth without compromising security. With this innovation, Scrut Automation emerges as a category pioneer, delivering the first AI agent-based GRC platform that reorients compliance from a documentation-heavy process to a proactive, risk-first strategy. The solution also opens new avenues for applying Generative AI to mission-critical business functions.
Traditional GRC tools often depend on manual oversight to validate documentation and interpret complex data—tasks that are time-consuming and increasingly untenable amid a talent shortage in cybersecurity. According to ISACA’s State of Cybersecurity 2024 report, 57% of organizations are understaffed in cybersecurity, while 46% have unfilled mid- or senior-level roles. This expertise gap often forces companies to either delay strategic GRC initiatives or depend on costly external consultants.

Scrut Teammates addresses these challenges by introducing an intelligent layer powered by generative AI and machine learning, built on a proprietary knowledge graph. This system unifies fragmented internal data, simulates human reasoning, and delivers context-rich, actionable recommendations that streamline remediation and decision-making.
“Most tools flag issues and hand you the mess. Scrut gets the workflow. I issue instructions in natural language – it builds the ticket, adds context, drafts the email, and sends it to the right team. No gaps, no bottlenecks,” explains Loris Gutic, Global CISO at Bright Security. “It doesn’t just surface problems – it helps close the loop, fast. For a security-first org, that kind of responsiveness isn’t a luxury, it’s table stakes.”
