Scrutineer · Platform

Cyber risk assessment software for IT and security risk teams

Cyber risk assessment software turns a once-a-year spreadsheet exercise into a live view of where you actually stand. Scrutineer connects read-only to your cloud, identity and ticketing systems, checks your controls against the frameworks you carry, and surfaces every gap as a scored risk with a likelihood, an impact and a named owner. You stop guessing which weaknesses matter and start working a ranked list.

The assessment does not go stale the day after you finish it. Scrutineer watches the same controls continuously, so a bucket that loses encryption or a former employee with a live token shows up as a new risk that day, not at your next annual review. It scores your third parties on the same scale, because a vendor holding your data is part of your risk picture. This is decision support and audit readiness; the formal attestation is issued by an accredited independent auditor.

Why it works

What you get with cyber risk assessment

Every gap becomes a scored risk

Scrutineer checks your controls against SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS and GDPR, then turns each gap into a risk entry with a likelihood, an impact and a residual score. You get a ranked queue instead of a flat findings list, so the highest-exposure items get worked first.

Assessed from real evidence, not a survey

Read-only connections to your cloud, identity and ticketing stack pull the actual artifacts behind each control. The risk score reflects what your systems are doing right now, not what someone typed into a questionnaire six months ago.

Continuous, so the score stays honest

Controls drift and new risks appear between reviews. Scrutineer monitors continuously and re-scores when something changes, which means the board view and the working queue are looking at the same current reality rather than a snapshot.

What it handles

Controls in, an evidence-linked report out

Point Scrutineer at a framework or a vendor and it maps every control, pulls the evidence it can find, flags the gaps and scores the risk, returning a report with linked evidence and a prioritized remediation list. Scrutineer is decision support for readiness, an accredited auditor still issues the attestation.

Identifies control gaps across every framework you carry
Scores each gap by likelihood, impact and residual risk
Pulls control evidence automatically and read-only
Ranks remediation so the biggest exposure is worked first
Re-assesses continuously as controls drift or change
Scores third-party and vendor risk on the same scale

Why Scrutineer

One platform that maps controls and scores risk

Not a static questionnaire, not a pass-fail black box, and not a spreadsheet you maintain by hand. Live control mapping across SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR and PCI, automatic evidence and a prioritized gap list, returned as a report you can act on. The AI scrutinizes, you decide.

Mapped to real controls

Every framework is broken down into the controls it actually requires, each scored on a red to amber to green scale, so readiness stays transparent and consistent.

Evidence behind every finding

Each control links to the exact evidence that satisfies it, the policy, the config, the log line, so the finding is auditable and your readiness is defensible.

A prioritized gap list

Open gaps roll up into a ranked remediation list, so the highest-risk findings sit at the top and your team fixes what matters before the audit begins.

Good questions

Questions about cyber risk assessment

Cyber risk assessment software identifies the vulnerabilities and control gaps that threaten an organization, scores each one by likelihood and impact, and helps teams prioritize remediation. Instead of a manual spreadsheet review done once a year, it maps risks to your controls, frameworks, assets and owners, and keeps the assessment current as your environment changes.

A cybersecurity risk assessment scopes the systems and data in play, identifies the threats and control gaps against them, then scores each risk by likelihood and impact to produce a ranked list. NIST SP 800-30 is the common methodology. Software speeds every step by pulling live evidence, applying consistent scoring, and reporting findings to the people who decide what to fix.

A risk assessment looks forward: it estimates which weaknesses are most likely to hurt you and how badly, so you can prioritize. A security audit looks at a point in time and checks whether you meet a defined standard, and an independent auditor issues the result. You use the assessment to decide where to invest before the audit measures whether the controls hold.

A vulnerability scan finds technical flaws in systems, like an unpatched server or an open port. A cyber risk assessment is broader: it weighs those technical findings alongside process and control gaps, scores each by business impact, and ranks them. Most teams feed scan output into the risk assessment rather than treating the two as the same thing.

A full assessment at least annually is the baseline most frameworks expect, plus a fresh one after any major change such as a new system, an acquisition or a serious incident. The stronger approach is continuous: software that re-scores risk the moment a control drifts closes the blind spot between scheduled reviews, which is where most surprises live.
