Compliance tech startup Scrut Automation raises $3-M from Lightspeed, Endiya Partners

New Delhi-based Scrut Automation, an information security compliance platform, has raised USD 3 million from Lightspeed Ventures and Endiya Partners. The platform plans to use the fresh capital to expand operations in the US, the EU and Asia, enhance automation capabilities, and create a marketplace for information security (Infosec) resources. Founded in 2021 by Aayush Ghosh Choudhury and Kush Kaushik, Scrut automates a bulk of labour-intensive compliance tasks by integrating with the most-often used Cloud and SaaS tools and automatically collecting hundreds of evidence artefacts, which would otherwise take weeks to collect.
