Hyperproof vs Scrut Automation

Hyperproof is a governance, risk and compliance (GRC) platform for companies that run many frameworks at once. It was founded in 2018 by CEO Craig Unger and is based in Bellevue, Washington. It has raised $66.5 million, most recently a $40 million growth investment led by Riverwood Capital in August 2023. We found no acquisition of Hyperproof itself; in October 2025 it bought Expent.ai, a third-party risk management company. The platform manages controls, evidence, risks, audits and trust management across a library of more than 160 pre-built frameworks, and collects evidence automatically through connectors it calls Hypersyncs. Hyperproof AI, which entered early access in September 2025, recommends controls and risks, answers natural-language queries and helps validate evidence. AI Guided Experiences, launched in March 2026, added a Suggested Links agent that links controls, policies, risks, requirements and evidence, and an AI-native third-party risk product followed in April 2026. **AI compliance coverage** Hyperproof's framework library includes ISO/IEC 42001, the EU AI Act, the NIST AI RMF and the Cloud Security Alliance's AI Controls Matrix. Its site lists these by name, without describing the controls, templates or tests that come with them. **Who it's for** Mid-market and enterprise compliance teams managing several frameworks. Named customers include Reddit, Fortinet, Appian, Outreach and Thales; Appian runs 28 frameworks on it. We found no published case study for its AI frameworks.

Scrut Automation is a cloud-based GRC platform that automates compliance management, risk assessment, and audit preparation for growth-stage SaaS and cloud-native companies. It differentiates through continuous monitoring of 230+ security controls, automated evidence collection from 75+ integrations, and support for 70+ frameworks including SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA, NIST AI RMF, and ISO 42001, enabling multi-framework compliance without redundancy. Typical buyers are CISOs and compliance teams at startups and mid-market firms seeking to accelerate audits, reduce manual work, and maintain real-time visibility into cloud, application, people, and third-party risks. Featured in Forrester's GRC Platforms Landscape, it has raised $20.5M total funding, with the latest $10M growth round in 2024 from Lightspeed, MassMutual Ventures, and Endiya Partners to enhance AI capabilities and expand in North America and Europe.
