## Scytale Reviews
  ### 1. Scytale Streamlined Our Compliance with Hands-On Implementation Support

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Roy P. | CTO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 15, 2026

**What do you like best about Scytale?**

Scytale has dramatically streamlined our compliance work, especially the evidence collection that audits require. The platform comes with a wide range of relevant integrations, which automated away a lot of the boilerplate and manual effort we'd otherwise be stuck doing ourselves. When we ran into issues with specific integrations, their support was highly responsive and available.
One thing that made a real difference was how much they helped us separate the essential from the noise — knowing what actually mattered for the audit versus what we could safely set aside saved us a huge amount of time and second-guessing.
The biggest standout, though, was the hands-on implementation support. We had a dedicated specialist guiding us through the entire process, and honestly we wouldn't have reached the finish line without the direction and verification they provided in our weekly check-ins. Special shout-out to Lןטש, who was absolutely amazing throughout.

**What do you dislike about Scytale?**

Nothing significant so far. The integration setup occasionally needed support involvement, but the team was always quick to help resolve it.

**What problems is Scytale solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Scytale handles the heavy lifting of compliance evidence collection and removes a large amount of repetitive, manual boilerplate from our plate. Just as importantly, it helped us prioritize - separating what genuinely mattered for the audit from what didn't. The combination of automation, broad integrations, and dedicated implementation guidance let us complete the process efficiently, something that would have been far slower and far more painful to do on our own.

  ### 2. Accelerate time to market with feature-rich platform with outstanding, responsive support

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Freek H. | Co-Founder &amp; Managing Partner, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 10, 2026

**What do you like best about Scytale?**

The Scytale commercial, consulting, and support teams are very nice to work with. They’re easy to reach and consistently available, flexible, supportive, resourceful, knowledgeable, and friendly. The platform is feature-rich and provides great guidance for working through the certification steps and cycles. Since this was our first time, it felt daunting at the beginning. It integrates well with most common technology providers, although integrating with, for example, a regional cloud provider was complex and time-consuming unless you have solid technical knowledge. Luckily the support rep was very helpful both in chat as well as in an online session to help us out. The platform responds quickly and performs well. Sometimes it takes a bit of time to refresh following taken actions; so it's near time not real time. Although refresh doesn't take more than a day normally. UI could be made a little more intuitive; being new to it it took some time to understand the various routes one could follow to get to the same source materials. It's very helpful to get the intelligence from the platform through the provided templates that can easily be complemented, changed or removed in case it's not applicable. Pricing has been favourable compared to other providers with similar services and is by far better then picking a local traditional firm in this space. While the level of ongoing support, guidance and knowledge of the consultant is high standard.

**What do you dislike about Scytale?**

The UI could be enhanced to make it more intuitive for people less familiar with this matter. Would have preferred to consume the services directly from Scytale instead of having had to set up an AWS account first.

**What problems is Scytale solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We had no clue where to start. Even when applying most common LLMs (paid versions) it was unclear what is and isn't required for our business, despite the extensive prompting we tried. Scytale understands the context, SaaS models and provides a base line of required documentation for the specific certification as well as preempting what evidence is required to back it up. This speeds up out time to market (by months), first time right in order to obtain our 'licence to operate' in the regulated market we play in.

  ### 3. Fast-Track Compliance Readiness with Actionable AI Guidance and Smart Evidence Collection

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Clinton V. | Solutions Architect, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 03, 2026

**What do you like best about Scytale?**

Their application makes the path to compliance much easier and significantly faster to reach compliance readiness. It generates actionable tasks with AI based recommendations and guidance, and it integrates with multiple systems to automatically extract evidence. Their team also keeps a strong focus on getting the required items completed, and it’s motivating to watch the completion percentage rise on the dashboard—almost like a bit of gamification. I was able to access the Scytale system reliably at any time to complete some tasks quickly to progress the overall readiness. It’s definitely worth the price.
Special thanks to Kamran Naicker, who continues to go above and beyond by helping us close out task items and providing valuable advice along the way.

**What do you dislike about Scytale?**

I’m struggling to find anything I dislike at the moment. If there’s one improvement I’d suggest, it would be great to include Uptime Robot integration.

**What problems is Scytale solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We needed to become SOC and ISO compliant within a very short timeframe. The Scytale system and team made it possible for us to reach compliance readiness within that limited window

  ### 4. Very professional guidance coupled with a well-designed platform.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Benoît D. | CEO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 03, 2025

**What do you like best about Scytale?**

We recently used Scytale to prepare for our ISO 27001:2022 renewal audit certification, and the experience was really good.

The platform itself is excellent. It made it incredibly easy to monitor our compliance posture and pinpoint exactly which missing pieces of information or documentation we needed to address before the audit.

What truly sets Scytale apart, however, is their customer success and advisory team. The support was consistently reactive and fast, but the standout highlight of our experience was working with our consultant, Edden Kaplan. Edden was fantastic she was highly proactive with her follow ups and provided crystal clear guidance on the exact actions required to improve our security processes.

Thanks to our regular sync meetings, we always knew where we stood, making the entire audit process incredibly smooth and stress free. I highly recommend Scytale to any organization looking to streamline their compliance journey!

**What do you dislike about Scytale?**

Also already very good, we are glad to see that the number of integrations with third-party software continues to grow.

**What problems is Scytale solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Getting certified with a clear guidance and excellent visibility over the actions to take.

  ### 5. Seamless ISO 27001 Evidence Collation and Exceptionally Supportive Guidance

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Leon C. | Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 28, 2026

**What do you like best about Scytale?**

The platform takes what could easily be an overwhelming process and makes it genuinely manageable. Evidence collation is seamless, everything is structured, nothing falls through the cracks, and you come away confident that your ISO 27001 coverage is comprehensive rather than just hopeful. But honestly, what stands out most is the people. Our consultant, Edden Kapplan, has been exceptionally patient, deeply knowledgeable, and able to translate complex requirements into clear, practical guidance. Her support alone has made an enormous difference to our experience.

**What do you dislike about Scytale?**

Very little, if anything. There's an inevitable learning curve when you first get into the platform, but with Edden's guidance that was short-lived. Nothing significant to flag.

**What problems is Scytale solving and how is that benefiting you?**

ISO 27001 certification is daunting ... the volume of controls, documentation, and evidence required can feel impossible to manage without the right structure. Scytale solves exactly that. It keeps everything organised and ensures we don't miss a thing, which gives us real confidence going into our audit. The benefit isn't just operational, it's the peace of mind that comes from knowing you're genuinely covered.

  ### 6. Intuitive Platform with Great Integrations, Support, and Helpful AI

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Camille P. | TUKS SRC 2012: Projects, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 28, 2026

**What do you like best about Scytale?**

The platform is easy to use and very intuitive. The integrations also make it simpler to gather evidence in one place. Support has been extremely important for us and has helped throughout the entire process. The AI feature has been especially helpful in reducing support queries for smaller items, such as figuring out where to find certain functions.

**What do you dislike about Scytale?**

The questions can be difficult. If I really have to point something out, I’d say I’d like to see more integrations.

**What problems is Scytale solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Our experience with Scytale while preparing for our compliance audit has been incredibly positive. They’ve taken what is typically a complex and overwhelming process and made it approachable, structured, and easy to follow. The platform, combined with their hands-on support, helped us move forward far more effectively than we could have on our own.
 
A big thank you to Edden Kaplan for her professionalism and clear guidance throughout. Her support and ability to simplify complex requirements gave us confidence at every stage

  ### 7. Simplifies SOC 2 Compliance with Exceptional Support

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Omer H. | Co-Founder &amp; CTO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 27, 2026

**What do you like best about Scytale?**

I used Scytale to handle our SOC 2 from prep work through the actual audit, and it turned a daunting process into something manageable. The biggest relief was how Scytale laid out exactly what controls we needed and what evidence to collect, which helped us get audit-ready in about a month and pass cleanly. Eden, our point of contact, was incredible, always responsive, prepared, and she knew when to push us or handle things herself. Was very mindful of my time. The platform itself is well organized with mostly automated evidence collection, making the process painless. The integrations automatically pulled evidence, saving us from manual screenshotting, and the policy templates were a head start, allowing us to tweak instead of writing from scratch. The dashboard provided clarity on completed, pending, and needed tasks, giving us a clear picture going into the audit. These features probably cut weeks off the project.

**What do you dislike about Scytale?**

There's a lot in the platform so the first week or two we were still learning where everything lives. A couple of the menus could be a bit more intuitive on first use, but it's a small thing.

**What problems is Scytale solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Scytale demystified SOC 2 for us. It guided us on controls, evidence collection, and filled gaps promptly, leading to a clean audit. Integrations and templates saved us weeks by automating evidence collection and providing ready-to-customize policies. The dashboard and Eden's support made the process clear and painless.

  ### 8. Helpful and practical compliance support

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Yuval S. | CEO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 14, 2026

**What do you like best about Scytale?**

What I like best about Scytale is that the process feels very structured and practical. The platform helps us understand exactly what needs to be done, track the open items clearly, and move step by step toward compliance without getting lost.

I also really appreciate the support from Liya as our consultant. She has been responsive, clear, and helpful in guiding us through the process, explaining what is needed, and keeping things moving in a professional but friendly way.

**What do you dislike about Scytale?**

Nothing specific at this stage. Overall, the experience has been positive

**What problems is Scytale solving and how is that benefiting you?**

**Scytale helps us manage the compliance process in a clear and organized way, while also giving us practical consulting support on specific cases with vendors and third-party security reviews. This saves time, helps us respond more confidently, and keeps us moving toward certification efficiently.**

  ### 9. Professional, Clear Guidance and a Great Platform Overall

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Constantine  E. | Director of Engineering, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 10, 2026

**What do you like best about Scytale?**

We had an excellent experience working with the Scytale team throughout our ISO certification journey. The whole process was marked by a high level of professionalism, clear guidance, and well-defined timelines that kept the entire process structured and efficient.

The platform itself is intuitive and highly convenient to work with, providing a centralized and organized way to manage all compliance requirements. It significantly streamlined what could otherwise be a complex and time-consuming process.

A special mention goes to our consultant, Maayan Musaffi, who did an outstanding job over the course of the year. She consistently demonstrated deep expertise, explained each step with clarity, and ensured we were thoroughly prepared at every stage of the certification process. Her support was continuous, responsive, and highly professional, making a meaningful difference in our overall experience.

Overall, this was a smooth, well-managed, and highly effective process. I would strongly recommend Scytale to any organization looking to achieve ISO certification in a structured, efficient, and supportive manner.

**What do you dislike about Scytale?**

Nothing. Everything was clear and on time

**What problems is Scytale solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Scytale helped us go through the ISO 27001, HIPAA, and GDPR certification processes. It’s a very convenient platform that streamlines the work and makes the overall process easier to manage. The service we received from Scytale exceeded our expectations. Going through these processes without Scytale guidance and support would be extremely complicated and time consuming.

  ### 10. Scytale Streamlines Compliance with Clear Guidance, Automation, and Helpful Support

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Kateryna O. | HR Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 05, 2026

**What do you like best about Scytale?**

I’ve had a very positive experience using Scytale. What stands out the most is how it simplifies and structures compliance processes that are typically time-consuming and complex. The platform provides clear guidance at every step, even for teams without deep compliance expertise.

One of the biggest advantages is the automation. Tasks that would normally require manual tracking are centralized and streamlined, saving a significant amount of time. The integrations with other tools also help keep everything aligned without extra effort.

I also appreciate the intuitive interface - it’s easy to navigate, and you can quickly understand what needs to be done next. The visibility into progress and requirements helps reduce uncertainty and keeps the whole team on track.

Additionally, their specialist Romy Spencer has been incredibly helpful throughout the process. Her guidance, responsiveness, and expertise have made a real difference, helping us move faster and with more confidence.

Overall, Scytale has improved our workflow by making our certification path more efficient, organized, and far less stressful.

**What do you dislike about Scytale?**

While the overall experience has been very positive, there are a few areas that could be improved. Some parts of the platform can feel a bit rigid, especially when trying to adapt workflows to specific internal processes. Greater flexibility in customization would make it even more powerful.

These are relatively minor issues, and they don’t outweigh the overall value the platform provides.

**What problems is Scytale solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Scytale helps us navigate the complexity of ISO 27001 certification, which would otherwise require significant manual effort, coordination, and deep expertise. Before using the platform, managing policies, controls, and documentation would have been fragmented and time-consuming.

With Scytale, everything is centralized and clearly structured. The platform guides us through the ISO 27001 requirements step by step, making it easier to understand what needs to be done and when. Task management, progress tracking, and automation reduce the amount of manual work and help ensure nothing is overlooked.

As a result, the certification process has become much more organized and predictable. It has saved us time, reduced stress, and allowed the team to focus on implementation rather than figuring out the process itself.

  ### 11. Hands-On Compliance with Dedicated Support

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Steve H. | Sr. GRC Manager, Information Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 16, 2026

**What do you like best about Scytale?**

I really appreciate that Scytale serves as our system of record for compliance controls and evidence. Having our dedicated GRC Manager, Robin Williams, truly makes Scytale stand out because they operate like an extension of our internal team and help with compliance and auditing needs. Robin's understanding of how controls function in practice really cuts down on the back-and-forth during audit prep. I enjoy how Scytale integrates with our cloud platform, identity provider, and Git repo, which helps in automatically pulling evidence and providing visibility into our environment. Moving from Vanta, I value the more hands-on approach that Scytale provides, particularly with the dedicated GRC Manager helping translate requirements into actual execution. The initial setup was straightforward, which I found quite convenient. I'd definitely recommend Scytale to teams that value having a dedicated GRC resource to drive audit readiness and keep things organized because this combination of platform and hands-on support is a strong differentiator.

**What do you dislike about Scytale?**

Like most GRC platforms, there can be some friction around keeping evidence and control updates fully in sync as things change quickly in the environment. This isn't unique to Scytale, but does require internal discipline to keep everything current.

**What problems is Scytale solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Scytale acts as our system of record for compliance controls and evidence, streamlining audit prep like ISO 27001 and SOC2. Having Robin, our dedicated GRC Manager, helps us execute compliance tasks efficiently, reducing back-and-forth and ensuring tighter internal alignment.

  ### 12. Dor helped us with everything. I'm happy to use the system and recommend it

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Oren E. | Operations Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 31, 2026

**What do you like best about Scytale?**

It's really convenient that the required templates are provided, that we can see the progress status and that there is someone like Dor guiding us through every step of the process

**What do you dislike about Scytale?**

It took a little time to figure out how to properly navigate between the different pages and what each one displays. There are pages nested within pages that you have to go through to find what you're looking for, but once you understand where everything is, using the system becomes much easier

**What problems is Scytale solving and how is that benefiting you?**

They made the whole audit management process much easier for me by breaking it down into explicit tasks of exactly what needs to be done to deliver everything correctly. It really helps that things are visual and that we can see our progress

  ### 13. Efficient SOC2 Compliance with Stellar Support

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Nicola T. | Chief Technology Officer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 28, 2025

**What do you like best about Scytale?**

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 Scytale?**

They should keep their platform more stable; they are changing so fast that it is becoming a moving target. 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. Integration with Dependabot could be improved; dependabot is not behaving well on their side, but when they delete past vulnerabilities, Scytale thinks you have never fixed them, rather than dependabot reclassifying them.

**What problems is Scytale 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.

  ### 14. Incredibly Helpful Consulting That Keeps Us on Track

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ole M. | CTO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 15, 2026

**What do you like best about Scytale?**

The consulting that comes with the platform is incredibly helpful. For me, the weekly calls with a friendly person are what really keep us on track, making sure we focus on the right things at the right time so we can get through the process of obtaining a new certificate as smoothly as possible.

**What do you dislike about Scytale?**

What I’m not so happy with is the quality of the integrations. Some information is gathered automatically, but there’s still quite a bit of evidence and other details that need to be entered manually. I’d really prefer it if more of this could be pulled in fully automatically.

**What problems is Scytale solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We use Scytale to work through an ISO certification, and it has enabled us to do it with a very small team, at low cost, and with great speed.

  ### 15. Easy-to-Use GUI and Helpful Guidance for Completing Controls

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer & Network Security | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 22, 2026

**What do you like best about Scytale?**

If you have AWS than it would be more powerful, I guess, but we have all done by ourselves and host it on a local hoster. This requires a lot of changes in the collection of evidence and completion of controls. Dian Strydom is most helpful with all the steps to be taken. He guides me through everything and helps me out with templates to complete the controls.

The GUI is easy to understand and helps a lot in having an oversight what to do and where I am.

**What do you dislike about Scytale?**

Nothing, it is very helpful for me, it even suggests what can be certified with all the answers from my current certification, which is very good. It helps me telling my board of directors, what to aim next.

**What problems is Scytale solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Getting ready for ISO27001 and SOC2 is a marathon, and for a small company as ours, it would be impossible without scytale.

  ### 16. Outstanding Support Team Made Everything Happen Quickly and Professionally

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Steeve B. | Chief Technology Officer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 27, 2026

**What do you like best about Scytale?**

People!! Edden Kaplan really helped us understand what to do and how to make things happen quickly and professionally. I honestly wish every company had people like this, because it makes customers as happy as we are.

The tools are relatively easy to use, but for us, the people are definitely the most important part.

**What do you dislike about Scytale?**

Some integrations didn’t work at first, and we had to contact technical support to resolve a few issues. You should check frequently that integrations works. Aside from that, we have an overall good impression.

**What problems is Scytale solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The system provided by Scytale has been very helpful in understanding what we need to do and in communicating with the auditors. It has saved us a lot of time and cost.

  ### 17. Simplifies SOC2 Prep with Excellent Support

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Volodymyr S. | Site Reliability Engineer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 23, 2026

**What do you like best about Scytale?**

I find Scytale easy to use, with a great library of available templates that cover all the operations processes I need. The platform itself simplifies the process of SOC2 preparation a lot, and it contains lots of example templates I can use as a base. Also, the support from Scytale does great work in helping with those templates adjustments for our needs. There were no issues with the setup, as there was no need to deploy anything on our side; we just got access to the cloud platform. The platform's support and ease of access really enhance its usability.

**What do you dislike about Scytale?**

Due to the specifics of our products, we had to spend more time on initial discoveries to better understand how to approach SOC2 preparations.

**What problems is Scytale solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Scytale simplifies SOC2 preparation with example templates and excellent support, helping us maintain internal processes and achieve continuous improvements.

  ### 18. Simple, Intuitive Platform with Dedicated, Hands-On Support

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ivica P. | PHP Developer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 19, 2026

**What do you like best about Scytale?**

The platform is simple and intuitive and we had a dedicated person along the way that helped us with everything. This was the crucial part and i want to thank Nicole Alvaro for her dedication.

**What do you dislike about Scytale?**

All these platforms are on the expensive side of doing operations. It's not specific for Scytale, I did a thorough research prior to that and Scytale was the best in class, but again all these platforms cost a lot.

**What problems is Scytale solving and how is that benefiting you?**

- Integrations with services we use for providing automatic evidence to auditors when getting certified. 
- Templates for most of the processes and documents required for each certificate.
- Pre-prepared lessons that teams need to finish in order to be aware of the processes and become compliant.

  ### 19. Excellent SOC 2 Support for Growing Startups

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 04, 2026

**What do you like best about Scytale?**

We had an excellent experience working with Scytale throughout our SOC 2 compliance journey.

The platform itself was intuitive, well-structured, and significantly simplified what could otherwise have been a complex and time-consuming process. The Scytale team provided clear guidance, practical recommendations, and helped us stay focused on the controls and evidence that mattered most.

A special mention goes to Liya Sarfudin, who was outstanding throughout the engagement. Liya consistently demonstrated deep expertise in compliance and GRC, while also being highly responsive, organized, and proactive. She guided us through every stage of the SOC 2 process with professionalism and patience, ensuring that requirements were clearly understood and that we always knew what the next steps were.

What stood out most was Liya's ability to translate compliance requirements into practical actions that fit our organization's size and stage. Rather than taking a purely checklist-driven approach, she helped us build processes that were both audit-ready and operationally realistic.

Thanks to Liya's support and Scytale's platform, our team was able to progress efficiently, stay organized, and successfully prepare for our SOC 2 audit with confidence.

I would highly recommend both Scytale and Liya Sarfudin to any company looking to establish or strengthen its compliance program.

**What do you dislike about Scytale?**

Very little to dislike. Some of the compliance requirements can feel overwhelming at first, and additional examples or guidance within the platform would be helpful. Overall, the experience was excellent.

**What problems is Scytale solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Scytale helped us build and operationalize our SOC 2 compliance program much faster than we could have done internally. The platform streamlined evidence collection, policy management, and audit preparation, while their guidance helped us implement the right security and compliance processes. As a result, we saved significant time, reduced compliance overhead, and were able to demonstrate trust and security maturity to customers and partners.

  ### 20. User-Friendly Platform and Proactive SOC 2/ISO 27001 Support from Scytale

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Harry K. | Operations, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 02, 2026

**What do you like best about Scytale?**

What stands out most about Scytale is the combination of a user-friendly platform and exceptional consulting support. The team has been highly proactive throughout our SOC 2 and ISO 27001 journey, helping us stay organized, on track, and confident in our approach. A special mention goes to Romy Spencer, whose responsiveness, quick turnaround times, and practical guidance have made a significant difference. Rather than simply answering questions, Romy consistently provides clear direction and support, making the compliance process far more manageable for our team. The overall service has been outstanding and feels like a true partnership.

**What do you dislike about Scytale?**

Nothing, its been amazing! Romy has been soo helpful!

**What problems is Scytale solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Scytale has helped us build a structured and efficient path toward SOC 2 and ISO 27001 readiness. The combination of the platform and consulting support has reduced the administrative burden on our team, provided clarity on requirements, and ensured we stay on track with our certification goals. Their proactive approach has helped us address gaps early and approach the audit process with confidence.

  ### 21. Made our first SOC 2 process manageable with great support

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Insurance | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 29, 2026

**What do you like best about Scytale?**

What I like best about Scytale is that it made the process feel much more structured and manageable.
The UI is clean and easy to navigate, and the task breakdown, evidence collection, and progress tracking made this practical and simple workflow.

**What do you dislike about Scytale?**

What I dislike most is that the review cycle for certain tasks could be more complete. For example, reviewers can add notes or comments, but the task status, ownership, or assignment does not always change clearly based on that feedback.
Some open items can be harder to track directly in the system, especially when trying to understand what still needs action and who owns the next step. We were able to manage this through follow-up meetings, but it would be helpful if the flow was supported better in the system.

**What problems is Scytale solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Scytale helped us manage our first SOC 2 process from a place where we would not have known where to begin. It gave us a clear structure, broke the process into manageable steps, and helped us understand what was required from us at any given time.
It saved us a ton of time. Instead of trying to figure everything out on our own, we had a guided process, clear tasks, and support along the way.

  ### 22. Fast, Intuitive Compliance Platform Backed by Exceptional Support

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Zev B. | Chief Executive Officer, Automotive, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 23, 2026

**What do you like best about Scytale?**

Scytale was an absolute breeze to work with. Their platform is intuitive and easy to use, and it helped us track all the necessary metrics to get compliant more quickly. The price was well worth it, and the speed at which we were able to become compliant thanks to Nicole Alvaro, along with the overall support we received from the team from day one, was incredible. Overall, everything felt smooth, straightforward, and simple to manage within their well-structured platform.

**What do you dislike about Scytale?**

Absolutely nothing. there were only positives

**What problems is Scytale solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Scytale helps us maintain strong compliance and security standards. It gives us confidence that our policies are properly structured, thoughtfully maintained, and aligned with protecting our clients. It also reassures our clients that we take security seriously and are committed to keeping their data safe.

  ### 23. Incredible Support and Smooth SOC 2 Audits with Scytale

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Moises S. | DevSecOps, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 28, 2026

**What do you like best about Scytale?**

We use Scytale for SOC 2 compliance and penetration testing. Their personalized support is absolutely incredible, it's what stood out the most. The platform also offers a great set of well-built policy templates and high-quality automated evidence collection through integrations. It has made our entire audit process much smoother. Highly recommend.

**What do you dislike about Scytale?**

Very little to dislike. The only minor gap is that some integrations for specific tools we use aren't available yet. Nothing serious. I just would have liked a bit more coverage on the integrations side.

**What problems is Scytale solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Scytale has made our SOC 2 compliance process far less overwhelming. Before, tracking controls and gathering evidence was time-consuming and manual. Now, the automated evidence collection through integrations and the ready-made policy templates handle a huge part of the work for us. This has saved us significant time and effort, letting our team focus on actual security work instead of administrative tasks. The pen testing support has also helped us identify and close security gaps, strengthening our overall security posture.

  ### 24. A Painless, Well-Organised ISO27001 Certification Journey with Scytale

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Security and Investigations | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 28, 2026

**What do you like best about Scytale?**

Scytale’s platform made it incredibly easy to manage every part of our ISO27001 certification process. Evidence can be uploaded directly into the portal and mapped to the relevant controls. They also offer heaps of integrations with common business apps, which enables automatic evidence collection and keeps everything organised.

When it came time for the audit, it was handled completely offline. The auditor was given access to review our policies and evidence, and then left comments and feedback whenever further clarification was needed. This saved days compared with past audits where I’ve been locked in meetings with the auditor.

The pricing structure is straightforward, predictable, and great value. It also includes weekly meetings with a Scytale consultant—Ashna, in my case—and she was wonderful: easy to work with, efficient, and clearly an expert in her field. She made the entire process painless. If this is your first time getting certified, I highly recommend working with Scytale’s consultants to help guide you through it.

**What do you dislike about Scytale?**

Overall, I found Scytale’s approach to certification very good. Working with the consultants, having regular meetings, and using the portal all fit together well and made the process feel coordinated. One feature they could improve is the inline policy editor in the portal. Scytale lets you draft your policies directly in their web-based editor, but I found it a bit tricky coming from a Microsoft world. Copying and pasting policies from MS Word documents led to formatting issues once the content was brought into the Scytale UI.

**What problems is Scytale solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Scytale provides a systematic approach to compliance. It makes the process clear, structured, and straightforward.

  ### 25. Scytale Streamlines Compliance with Time-Saving Automation and Clear Tracking

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Luciana S. | IT Manager , Health, Wellness and Fitness, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

  ### 26. Audit Management Framework with Proactive, Hands-On Consulting Support

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 27, 2026

**What do you like best about Scytale?**

Scytale offers a comprehensive audit management framework in addition to dozens of automations for collective evidence. What is most helpful, however, is their consultant engagement model. Their staff is available to not only answer questions about their product, but to proactively refine controls, processes, and practices to enable a smooth audit experience.

**What do you dislike about Scytale?**

The product is comprehensive and so can be overwhelming in places. It's not always clear where to find a control or data point you're looking for. Some of the integrations fail and it's not entirely clear why; whether it's a Scytale problem or an external system configuration issue.

**What problems is Scytale solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Scytale provides a framework to manage compliance audits. That includes defining processes and controls as well as collecting evidence to demonstrate that our practices align to our processes. The framework is easy to use as an auditee, but the fact that our external auditor is familiar with Scytale makes the entire audit experience dramatically easier than it would be otherwise.

  ### 27. Streamlined Audits with Stellar Support

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Tilo W. | Chief Operating Officer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 13, 2026

**What do you like best about Scytale?**

We use Scytale for audits and other compliance frameworks, and it provides a comprehensive overview of the requirements and items that we need to submit. It makes it easier for us to follow up on all compliance requirements, including uploading evidence and tracking outstanding items, ensuring we don't drop anything off the table. We feel safe going into an audit without having to worry. The platform is very straightforward, and the UI is fantastic. The consultancy process is really good, with very responsive, fast, and friendly service. We worked with Ashna Jeeva who is a great partner. Overall, it's just really simple to use.

**What do you dislike about Scytale?**

Nothing to complain about at this stage.

**What problems is Scytale solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Scytale provides a comprehensive overview of requirements, streamlining follow-ups on compliance items and tracking outstanding issues, ensuring nothing is missed. It makes audits worry-free with an easy evidence upload process. Usually it'd be a really tedious and error-prone process via infinite Excel tables and folders.

  ### 29. Modern, Easy UI with Comprehensive Integrations and Reusable Controls

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jyri K. | CTO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 18, 2026

**What do you like best about Scytale?**

Comprehensive integrations to many different backend systems. Proposals in most for the Controls how to fix. Reusing controls between standards.
Quite modern and easy to use UI.
Weekly meetings with consultant with competitive pricing which includes all.

**What do you dislike about Scytale?**

We use EU region and looks like there is still some bugs and also consultant had issues accessing the platform first.
First consultant had way too many projects and did not answer my emails so all progress was dependent on weekly meetings -> slow.
When browsing controls via audit, the screen does not remember any filters or sorting and after saving control it goes to the control screen (learned to use browser back instead to find active control).
Evidence was not fetched automatically to audit when editing control directly.

**What problems is Scytale solving and how is that benefiting you?**

ISO 27001 certification to help our sales. We are small startup so needed also help for process definitions.

  ### 30. Automated Governance Made Easy—Outstanding Consultant Support from Ashna Jeeva

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Chas S. | CTO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 11, 2026

**What do you like best about Scytale?**

There are similar competitive systems on the market. The automated evidence gathering, policy templates and intuitive UI radically reduces the effort involved to setup and maintain an effective governance process.  What truly differentiates Scytale from their competitors are their consultants who help guide you through the process. Our consultant Ashna Jeeva went over and beyond the call of duty to help us define a governance framework that suitable for our business operations, and then help guide us through the process of enforcing the controls and gathering evidence. Without Ashna's steer the whole process would have been orders of magnitude more time consuming and unlikely to result in the same quality governance framework that Ashna helped us deliver.

**What do you dislike about Scytale?**

There are few buggy aspects with some of the automated evidence tools, but the support team were very proactive at addressing any issues we logged with them.

**What problems is Scytale solving and how is that benefiting you?**

IT Governance is absolutely critical for even small companies, yet it is commonly neglected as few have the in house expertise or time to dedicate to governance while trying to run a business. Scytale provides a complete package to addressing your governance requirements, whether a small company or a large enterprise.

  ### 31. Fast-Track SOC2 Compliance, Excellent Support

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Tom N. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 26, 2026

**What do you like best about Scytale?**

I appreciate the speed Scytale provides in getting SOC 2 certified in just 2-3 months, which is genuinely impressive and far from just fast - it’s done right, offering a report that enterprise customers actually trust. I love the personalized support, where the customer support team feels like an extension of my own team, being proactive, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring about my success. The platform simplifies the complex space of compliance with clear steps and an intuitive interface, making it approachable without needing to be an expert. What I like most is the real business outcomes Scytale provides, as it directly translated into closing enterprise deals that were not possible without their assistance, turning compliance into a revenue driver. Additionally, the peace of mind knowing that my security posture is continuously monitored and audit-ready removes a huge weight from my team's shoulders, allowing us to focus on building the product instead of chasing compliance tasks.

**What do you dislike about Scytale?**

Initial Setup & Onboarding: Getting started required some upfront time investment, configuring the platform to match our environment wasn't instant. It's not a 'plug and play' out of the box experience, so plan for a proper onboarding period rather than expecting to hit the ground running on day one.  Manual Integration Configuration: While Scytale supports a solid range of integrations, a few of ours needed manual setup and some back-and-forth to get working correctly. It wasn't a dealbreaker, but it did add time we hadn't fully anticipated. More guided integration walkthroughs would help here.  Platform Can Feel Overwhelming at First: Compliance is inherently complex, and the platform reflects that depth. For someone new to SOC 2, the sheer number of controls, tasks, and requirements can feel daunting initially. A more guided 'getting started' flow for first-time users would smooth out that early learning curve significantly.

**What problems is Scytale solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Scytale speeds up SOC 2 compliance from 12-18 months to 2-3 months, simplifies the process, and turns compliance into a sales asset. It automates evidence collection, guides through complexity, and ensures ongoing compliance. Plus, personalized support keeps things on track.

  ### 32. Simplifies SOC Compliance with Ease

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Pete F. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 13, 2026

**What do you like best about Scytale?**

I like that Scytale is very easy to use, making it an accessible online platform. It's great that all the information is readily available in one place, which makes SOC compliance much easier and saves a lot of time and effort. I also find it valuable that it helps solve uploading evidence issues effortlessly online.

**What do you dislike about Scytale?**

I think the integrations could be made a little bit simpler. And in some cases, jumping between screens, you've got to go through a number of steps to get back to data that you were accessing in a previous screen. One other thing I would like to get changed is the ability to bulk update data, either a deletion or bulk update of one of the fields.

**What problems is Scytale solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I find Scytale makes SOC compliance easier and cuts down time by keeping everything in one place. It solves uploading evidence issues online efficiently.

  ### 33. Scytale Turned ISO & SOC Compliance from a necessary evil to a smooth Confidence-Building process

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** David R. | COO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 23, 2026

**What do you like best about Scytale?**

Scytale has completely changed the game for us. Thanks to their expert guidance, streamlined processes, and standardised control libraries, they’ve transformed ISO and SOC compliance from a punishingly slow, necessary evil into a highly efficient workflow. Even with a small startup team and limited time, Scytale made it possible for us to confidently achieve certification without derailing our core business objectives.

**What do you dislike about Scytale?**

The thing that I lest like was one of the characteristics of Scytale that got us over the line. Their unrelenting support to achieve the outcome we agreed with them at the start - always with a smile and wise words

**What problems is Scytale solving and how is that benefiting you?**

As a startup, we lack the massive headcount usually required for compliance. Scytale made it so that our small team with limited time could confidently achieve certification without taking our focus away from our core business objectives.

  ### 34. Effortless Compliance Management with Scytale

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Yaron B. | DevOps Team Lead, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 31, 2025

**What do you like best about Scytale?**

I like the ease of use of Scytale. It shows me exactly where my gaps are and what audit controls I need to fill. I can assign each control to an individual person in the company, which really makes my life much easier. We are doing the SOC 2 validation with Scytale for the fourth year in a row, and it has been really good so far.

**What do you dislike about Scytale?**

nothing

**What problems is Scytale solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Scytale assists with evidence collection, identifying gaps, and remediating them smoothly. It eases the SOC 2 validation process by showing exact gaps, necessary audit controls, and assigning controls to individuals, making my life easier.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 29, 2026

**What do you like best about Scytale?**

It is super friendly to use compared to other complaint platforms I have used previously. The onboarding went super quick and the staff are very helpful and very quick to respond. The fact that the platform integrates with our software helps a ton to minimise the amount of admin that it will require from our side to get and stay compliant. In terms of the compliance process, it is super quick. What almost took me a year to achieve with another compliance company took literal weeks to achieve working with Scytale.

**What do you dislike about Scytale?**

At the moment, I have not found anything that I do not like about the platform or the service.

**What problems is Scytale solving and how is that benefiting you?**

They are helping us to become ISO27001, GDPR and POPIA compliant with minimal effort.

  ### 36. Stress-Free Scytale Experience with Fast, Helpful Support from Edden

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Sibusiso C. | Growth and Sales, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 28, 2026

**What do you like best about Scytale?**

Navigating Scytale is completely stress-free. While using the platform, I’ve experienced little to no friction in terms of performance, which is a huge plus because it means I’m never behind on work due to technical issues. On top of that, working with Edden makes everything easy and smooth—my questions are answered quickly, and we receive great support and guidance from her.

**What do you dislike about Scytale?**

Very happy with the platform at the moment

**What problems is Scytale solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It saves a huge number of hours when working on policies and everything related to getting ISO certified.

  ### 37. Deep Compliance Expertise That Helped Us Achieve Certifications Almost Painless

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Amit S. | Founding Engineer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 27, 2026

**What do you like best about Scytale?**

Scytale has deep compliance expertise that helped us complete our certifications quickly. They guided us through the entire process and clearly knew how to navigate audits successfully, which allowed us to stay focused on what mattered most to us.

**What do you dislike about Scytale?**

Some integrations didn’t work reliably during our audit period, which made the process more difficult than it needed to be.

**What problems is Scytale solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We’re an early-stage startup and short on resources—especially people—so Scytale enabled us to pursue the certifications we wanted while still continuing to develop our core product.

  ### 38. Clear Communication, Flexible Workflows, and Dashboards That Track Progress

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Program Development | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 07, 2026

**What do you like best about Scytale?**

The structural approach to the client. In case of something is not working they are happy to change the workflow. Clear communication with our manager Romy Spencer.
The Dashboards clearly visualize the progress
Integration with the internal tools helps to do the gap analysis fasterThere’s no need to create new policies from scratch; existing processes can be adapted as needed.

**What do you dislike about Scytale?**

At the initial stage, there was no clear vision regarding the scope of work or the project phases. However, the situation improved after a detailed discussion with Romy, which helped align expectations and clarify the direction

**What problems is Scytale solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Our goal is to demonstrate and validate a high level of expertise and well-established processes in the IT domain. Achieving this certification will enable us to access new clients and expand into additional markets and opportunities.

  ### 39. Structured Support for ISO 27001 Certification

**Reviewed by:** Helge D. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 18, 2026

**What do you like best about Scytale?**

I like that Scytale provides structure and support to set up and get ready for the Auditors during the ISO 27001 certification process. It's a structured tool with templates for getting started, and I appreciate the help and support for solving issues as we encounter them. The initial setup of Scytale was relatively easy, which made things smoother.

**What do you dislike about Scytale?**

Integrations, missing some tools/services. Link between the integrations in such a way that one do not need to rely on Spreadsheets for collecting data.

**What problems is Scytale solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Scytale provides a structured tool and templates for setting up ISO 27001 certification. It supports and prepares us for auditors while offering help and solving issues as they arise.

  ### 40. Continuously Improving Platform for a Smooth SOC 2 Type II Audit

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Xavi P. | Chief Technology Officer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 28, 2026

**What do you like best about Scytale?**

This is the third year we have used Scytale for our SOC 2 Type II audit. The platform is constantly improving with new features that help us collect evidence and stay on top of our controls. I’d especially like to thank Edden Kapplan for all the help and support we have received.

**What do you dislike about Scytale?**

Scytale integrates well with GitLab for source control. For ticket management, we currently needed to export and provide some evidence manually, but the process was straightforward and well supported by the team.

**What problems is Scytale solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Scytale is helping us streamline and automate a large part of our SOC 2 compliance process. Before using it, collecting audit evidence, tracking controls, and preparing for audits required a lot of manual work across different systems.

  ### 41. Automatic evidance collections combined with professional guidance

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jitze B. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 29, 2026

**What do you like best about Scytale?**

We started working with Scytale this year. With the automatic evidince collection from certain applications out-of-the-box and the posibillity to create your own integrations and the help of Liya, our GRC Consultant, it did really made our recertification a lot more easier than before.

**What do you dislike about Scytale?**

One of the downsides for me, a bit outside of the work of scytale, would be the cycle with the auditor that it sometimes can take a little bit of time before we get feedback or that it's being revaluated.

**What problems is Scytale solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Getting a better overview between the many documents, policies, controls, etc. Gathering evidence quickly and being able to track the status.

  ### 42. Intuitive Dashboard, Seamless Integrations, and Outstanding Support

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 10, 2026

**What do you like best about Scytale?**

The platform dashboard is very intuitive and provides easy access to the tasks we perform on a daily basis. 

It handles every aspect of our workload, which is exactly what we need at this stage.

The integration functions are enabled and working perfectly.

I’d also like to take this opportunity to give a special shout-out to our consultant, Romy Spencer, who has been incredibly supportive since day one and has provided us with the guidance needed to complete our tasks successfully.

Romy is always there for us, answering any questions and helping us navigate more complex queries whenever they arise.

**What do you dislike about Scytale?**

So far, there isn’t anything in particular that I dislike. If I could suggest one improvement, it would be to provide more detailed information about the platform’s AI features, since that would help users understand them better and make fuller use of the platform’s capabilities.

**What problems is Scytale solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Completing our process-related tasks is now faster and more efficient. We’ve cut down the time we spend on internal reviews, collecting documentation, and bringing everything together in one place.

  ### 43. Great service and platform for becoming ISO certified

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 26, 2026

**What do you like best about Scytale?**

We had a positive experience working with Scytale to achieve our ISO certification. Their team (and especially our contact person CJ) provided clear guidance and support, making the certification process much smoother for us. The platform itself is intuitive, provides a clear overview of policies, controls, user reviews, risks and training. Basically, making  it easy for us to stay organized and follow best practices going forward. I would recommend using Scytale if you are looking to get certified.

**What do you dislike about Scytale?**

Platform is evolving so we were facing some issues along the way (which were resolved swiftly though). One thing to note is that the effort required from our side was greater than anticipated, especially around implementing certain internal processes. With more upfront clarity on this, we could have prepared better. For future users, I’d recommend asking early about potential gaps between your current setup and the scalable processes required for certification. But overall, the combination of their expertise and platform made a big difference in getting us across the finish line.

**What problems is Scytale solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Guided us through the process and helped us achieve ISO certification, but also ensuring that we stay compliant.

  ### 44. Effortless Compliance with Smooth Integration

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jahkaan W. | Full Stack Engineer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 23, 2026

**What do you like best about Scytale?**

I really appreciate how Scytale helps us with compliance, especially in achieving ISO27001. Having their team on board, who know what they're doing, helped us reach our goals much faster. The platform is smooth and automatically collects our evidence, clearly shows us where our gaps are, and explains what we need to do to fix them. I also love the simple interface—no need to manually check all controls, as it shows exactly what evidence is needed for each one. The integrations with GitHub, Jira, Azure Services, and Google Workspace are a huge plus, allowing for automatic evidence collection with no extra effort from us. Additionally, the initial setup was extremely easy: log in through the email, and it just works. I could invite the rest of my team right away, assign tasks, and start working immediately. I’m beyond pleased, so much so that I would rate it a 20 out of 10 if I could.

**What do you dislike about Scytale?**

There was one control that had the incorrect remediation instructions, but this is a minor inconvenience and I'm sure will be quickly corrected.

**What problems is Scytale solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Scytale streamlines our ISO27001 compliance by providing a simple interface to gather evidence automatically, identify gaps, and integrate with services like GitHub and Azure. This expertise helped us achieve faster results and reduced manual work.

  ### 45. Scytale Streamlined Our SOC2 & HIPAA Compliance With Intuitive Tools and Responsive Support

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Legal Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 25, 2026

Obtaining SOC2 and standing up an internal GRC process

  ### 46. Smooth SOC 2 & ISO 27001 With Outstanding Support From Dor Rosenberg

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 31, 2026

**What do you like best about Scytale?**

Scytale made our SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certifications remarkably smooth and professional. They handled the heavy lifting and kept disruption to our business at an absolute minimum. Special thanks to Dor Rosenberg, who guided us through the entire process for both certifications, always responsive, knowledgeable, and proactive. The platform and the team turned what could have been a stressful compliance effort into a clear, well-organized journey.

**What do you dislike about Scytale?**

Honestly very little to complain about. Early on there was a lot of material to take in, so a bit of a learning curve getting familiar with the platform, but Dor and the team made that easy. A few more self-serve guides could help, but nothing that affected the outcome.

**What problems is Scytale solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Scytale is helping us achieve and maintain SOC 2 and ISO 27001 compliance without pulling our team away from core business work. It centralizes evidence collection, controls, and audit readiness in one place, so we always know where we stand. The biggest benefit is speed and clarity: we reached both certifications faster and with far less internal overhead than expected, while staying confident that nothing was missed.

  ### 47. Friendly UI with Excellent Support and Tracking

**Reviewed Date:** June 02, 2026

**What do you like best about Scytale?**

The UI is user-friendly, and I really appreciate the ongoing support and tracking. Kamran Naicker, our partner, is highly professional; he guided us through a successful audit and continues to assist with any inquiries.

**What do you dislike about Scytale?**

Integrations are sometimes out of sync or don’t work as expected.

**What problems is Scytale solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Scytale helped us streamline and automate our compliance and security certification process. It reduced the effort required for evidence collection and ongoing monitoring, making the overall workflow much smoother.

  ### 48. Clear Compliance Path, and Amazing Scytale Support

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospital & Health Care | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 27, 2026

**What do you like best about Scytale?**

Loved the combination of a great compliance software that made it so clear what needed to be done to be certified, combined with amazing support from the Scytale team. I was very impressed. 

The software is very easy to use. It can be integrated to your solutions so that it collects data automatically. 

Also price is very reasonable – one of the best on the market. 

Recommend!

**What do you dislike about Scytale?**

There wasn't actually anything I disliked about Scytale, I only wished they'd also had framework for QMS (ISO 13485) and MDR – because I would definitely use them for that as well.

**What problems is Scytale solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Scytale made the whole process about getting ISO 27001-certified so easy and quick.

  ### 49. Effortless Compliance for ISO 27001 with Scytale

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Julia N. | Independent Consultant, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 28, 2026

**What do you like best about Scytale?**

I like that Scytale is continuously evolving into a more useful platform, allowing us to use it throughout the year rather than just for annual surveillance audits. It's great for reviewing and ensuring everything is in order and compliant. I also appreciate their professional services, where our dedicated consultant assists at every step, helping us use the platform optimally to reach our goals. The platform makes it possible for colleagues to collaborate, each within their area of expertise and responsibility but still ensuring a big-pic overview for management.

**What do you dislike about Scytale?**

It would be great if they communicate more clearly when they release new features. To let us know and also explain how that's changes the big picture experience.

**What problems is Scytale solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We use Scytale for our ISO 27001 certification, prepare for audits, and ensure compliance throughout the year. Its integrations automate compliance evidence gathering, saving time.

  ### 50. Expert Guidance Simplifies Compliance

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Roman L. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 09, 2026

**What do you like best about Scytale?**

I really value how Scytale guides and assists my company with SOC2 and ISO reviews, especially when some requirements are unclear, and we need guidance on which evidence to supply. The professionalism and competence of our GRC manager at Scytale, who is also very customer-oriented, make a big difference. I also appreciate how Scytale helps us communicate with the reviewers on various subjects like report timelines, payments, questions, and evidence. Every question gets an answer, which makes the whole process smoother. The platform is pretty intuitive, and even if I don't understand something, I just ask our GRC for assistance. Finally, Scytale helps us a lot with these exhaustive and complex processes.

**What do you dislike about Scytale?**

Be a little bit more responsive. But usually they respond on the same day.

**What problems is Scytale solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Scytale helps us handle SOC2 and ISO reviews by guiding us on evidence submission and changes in requirements. They also assist in communication with reviewers, making the exhaustive processes more manageable. We started using Scytale from the beginning and find their platform intuitive and helpful.
