Scrut automates evidence. Kobalt.io builds the security program. Together we get SMBs to SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, and more, not just certified but genuinely secure.
As a Certified Scrut Partner, we pair Scrut's compliance automation with hands-on security expertise, governance work, and audit defense. Scrut handles evidence collection and monitoring. Our team handles the policies, the security gaps, the control design, and the auditor conversation. Whether you're new to Scrut or already licensed, we run the full program.
Frameworks we run on Scrut
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."
"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."
"The Kobalt.io team is such a good team to work with. It didn't take long to recognize that they are extremely knowledgeable about the requirements of an ISO audit. We were very happy with the detailed report and informative sessions we received."
