User-Friendly with Efficient Dashboard and Integration
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate Scytale for its competitive pricing, which offers a more affordable solution compared to other vendors we considered. The majority of the integrations work smoothly and are easy to use, which makes setting up and utilizing the software a simplified experience. The integration capabilities, especially with tools like GitHub and AWS, are crucial given our needs, and while some aspects were initially complicated, many integrations were flawless. Moreover, having guidance from experts like Stefan was incredibly helpful, as he provided clear direction on obtaining necessary information and identifying actionable steps. This kind of support significantly aids in compliance efforts and auditing processes. The dashboard and integration features of Scytale stand out as particularly useful, streamlining various auditing tasks and facilitating better management of our compliance processes.
What do you dislike about the product?
I found that some AWS integrations with Scytale were a bit of a headache. While some integrations were flawless, others were more complicated and weren't updated even though everything on our end was done as required. We had to provide print screen screenshots to prove the integration was on and connected, which was frustrating. Moreover, some fixes are needed with their integration parts, as some functionalities appear not visible even though they are already integrated.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I find Scytale streamlines our auditing process, providing helpful guidance and easy integrations, particularly for compliance needs, although AWS integration can be tricky.
Scytale from a SOC Auditor Perspective
What do you like best about the product?
As a Big 4 SOC Auditor, I experience a great sense of relief whenever my clients choose Scytale as their platform. The interface is user-friendly and intuitive, making it easy to navigate, and the integrations significantly speed up my audit process. The GRC professionals at Scytale also contribute to a more enjoyable audit experience, as I frequently collaborate with familiar team members and develop ongoing working relationships. Over time, they become well-acquainted with my preferences for evidence presentation. Throughout my auditing career, I have worked with many individuals at Scytale, including Oron, Tom, Adar, Robyn, and many others. Thank you Scytale for making my life a little easier every day at work!
What do you dislike about the product?
Occasionally, the website experiences problems with loading evidence and tends to be generally slow on their end. I also wish there were an option to navigate to the next picture in the control monitor using arrows, instead of having to close out and manually open each image. Additionally, having a button to pre-load all evidence at once would make audits much faster, especially on days when the internet or Scytale is running slowly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a SOC auditor, I use Scytale daily to guide clients through the SOC process. I have become very familiar with the platform and have interacted with many of its employees. Their support significantly speeds up my work, especially when it comes to collecting evidence, since they often handle this through the Scytale GRC instead of requiring my direct involvement. Additionally, they help prepare Section 3 of the report, getting it about 90% complete before I need to finalize it, which saves me considerable time.
Streamlined SOC 2 Audits with Personal Touch
What do you like best about the product?
One of the aspects I like about Scytale is the personal touch they provide. Having a dedicated person allocated to assist me through the SOC 2 audit process is invaluable. This support makes dealing with auditors and collecting necessary evidence much more manageable. The dedicated personnel make themselves available for anything, easing the workload significantly and bringing a level of confidence and assurance that the process is being handled professionally. I also appreciate how Scytale makes the SOC 2 process and auditing seamless by taking over interactions with auditors and helping to manage security, privacy, and vendor reviews. Even with integrations being a bit challenging, the involvement of a dedicated person has been crucial in figuring things out and streamlining the process. This personal element makes Scytale a strong choice over other platforms I've used in the past.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find the integrations with Scytale could be improved. The process of setting it up is a bit more challenging compared to other tools because the integrations are not as seamless. Additionally, there are many tasks that could have been automated, specifically in evidence collection, where I currently need to upload a lot of screenshots and other materials manually. From my experience, other tools handle these aspects better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Scytale to make the SOC 2 process and auditing effortless. They handle auditor communication, help collect necessary evidence, and provide a dedicated person to assist, easing my workload and boosting my confidence in security and privacy tasks.

Effortless Setup, Exceptional High-Touch Support
What do you like best about the product?
I have found Scytale to be incredibly beneficial for our organization, particularly in supporting our SOC 2 and ISO certifications. The ease of setting it up was remarkable, thanks to the fantastic support from our account executive, Ashna Jeeva, who has been consistently on top of our auditing processes, ensuring everything stays on track. This supportive, personalized approach makes me greatly appreciate their services. The platform they offer is also extremely useful for following up and keeping track of the certification process and any missing documents, which streamlines our operations significantly.

In the complex world of compliance — where we honestly didn’t understand much at the beginning — Scytale (and especially Laura) helped us navigate everything with clarity and confidence. They make compliance smarter, not harder. Their structured approach and simple explanations turned what could have been an overwhelming process into something clear, efficient, and manageable.
Efficient SOC2 Compliance with Stellar Support
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate Scytale’s ability to cater to both novices and experienced users, making the learning curve manageable and guidance accessible, especially if you've never done auditing before. Once familiar, the platform allows users to pick up the pace quickly and smoothly. I find their integration feature highly beneficial, as it automatically collects evidence and identifies issues, which significantly streamlines the SOC2 auditing process. The dashboard is particularly useful, providing a clear, quick overview of compliance status, which I value greatly. I also recognize the team's helpfulness in explaining how to collect manual evidence and finding the best ways to proceed in various situations. The time it took to achieve SOC2 readiness for an external audit in just four weeks is incredibly impressive and highlights the efficiency of the platform. Additionally, the responsiveness and support from the team have made my experience enjoyable, and I highly regard their effective assistance throughout the auditing process.
What do you dislike about the product?
- The learning curve for Scytale is steep, especially for those without prior auditing experience. While the platform does its best to guide users, it can be daunting initially. - I wish there were more assistance and a guided process in justifying exceptions and deviations to avoid manual work, even though I understand these are meant to be exceptional cases. - The integration support for platforms like DigitalOcean is limited, with few features and configuration aspects automatically controlled. Although this is somewhat expected given DigitalOcean's status compared to larger providers, it still poses a limitation, and improved support would be beneficial. - The policies syncing process could be improved. Currently, I have to download signed policies manually from Scytale and upload them to Google Drive. An automatic export feature would be much appreciated. Not that I edit policies very often.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Scytale for SOC2 auditing, benefiting from its integration features to automatically collect evidence and address issues efficiently, reducing the time to readiness for external audits significantly. The platform is user-friendly for both beginners and experienced users.
