Scrut Automation Launches DAST Capability, Bridging the Gap Between Security & Compliance
MILPITAS, CA - September 30, 2025 - Scrut automation, a leading security-first Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) platform serving over 1,700 rapidly growing companies, today announced the release of its new Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) capability. This launch marks a critically important step towards streamlining application security, enabling organizations to proactively identify and address vulnerabilities while concurrently maintaining compliance - all within a single, unified platform.
For years, security teams have struggled with a fragmented landscape of tools. Traditional penetration tests offer only a limited,point-in-time view of security,while automated scanners frequently enough generate overwhelming numbers of false positives,obscuring genuine threats. This disconnect also extends to compliance,frequently operating as a separate function from application security,leading to inefficiencies and potential gaps in coverage.
Scrut Automation has consistently focused on empowering lean security teams to maximize their impact. The introduction of DAST builds on this commitment, extending Scrut’s capabilities beyond compliance automation to deliver continuous security monitoring and remediation.This ensures both robust protection and readily available audit trails.
Key features of Scrut DAST include:
* Continuous Runtime Testing: Flexible scan modes, frequencies, and authenticated scans provide ongoing vulnerability detection.
* Prioritized Findings: Validated results minimize false positives, allowing security teams to focus on the most critical business risks.
* Unified Platform: Seamless integration of security testing and compliance management streamlines workflows and improves visibility.
“Security leaders have long been forced to choose between a complex toolchain, unreliable results, and critical security blind spots,” explains Nick Muy, CISO of Scrut Automation.”Scrut DAST removes that unfeasible choice. By combining continuous, automated application security testing with our existing compliance workflows, we’re helping organizations achieve both security and efficiency, while remaining consistently audit-ready.”
Scrut DAST reinforces Scrut Automation’s vision of a security-first GRC approach, enabling organizations to proactively secure their applications in real-time and maintain a strong compliance posture.
