The Kobalt.io + Scrut Partnership

Software handles the easy 40%. We own the other 60%.

Scrut is excellent compliance automation. It pulls evidence from your cloud, SaaS, and endpoints, maps it to frameworks, and keeps monitoring current without manual effort. That's the 40%: the structured, repeatable part that software does well.

The other 60% is judgment work: tailoring policies to how your organization actually operates, closing the gaps Scrut flags, scoping your system description to hold up under scrutiny, and defending your controls when an auditor pushes back. Scrut handles the data; Kobalt handles the program. The result: not just a certificate but a security foundation you can stand behind.

"Kobalt.io acted as our virtual CISO, providing the expertise and support we needed every step of the way. They didn't just tell us what to do; they helped us understand why it was important and how it fit into our business."

Dushern Pather
CEO, TechSpecialist

"Kobalt.io's vCISO provided clear guidance and support, managing our ISO 27001 compliance process with ease. It's so much easier to work with them than if we had to start from scratch."

Chris Spencer
