"Effortless Compliance with Outstanding Support"
5/5
What do you like best about Scytale?

I use Scytale for ISO and SOC2, and I find that it solves the problem of understanding what auditors want to see, which is really helpful. I like that it helps me do things faster and easier. One of the most valuable aspects is the wonderful support I received from Romy Spencer. She was great, very helpful, available all the time, and provided clear instructions. The platform also has many integrations that are beneficial for both our internal and external systems. I think the integrations are pretty good. Overall, I pretty much liked the process and found the initial setup was pretty easy. I appreciate the team's work and the platform's capabilities. I would highly recommend using Scytale, and I've already recommended it to many colleagues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

"Modern, Easy UI with Comprehensive Integrations and Reusable Controls"
4.5/5
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Automated Governance Made Easy—Outstanding Consultant Support from Ashna Jeeva"
5/5
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fast-Track SOC2 Compliance, Excellent Support"
4.5/5
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simplifies SOC Compliance with Ease"
5/5
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Scytale Turned ISO & SOC Compliance from a necessary evil to a smooth Confidence-Building process"
5/5
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streamlined Our First ISO 27001 Certification"
5/5
What do you like best about Scytale?

What I like most is the combination of a clear, user-friendly platform and the expert guidance from our consultant Ashna. The software makes the ISO 27001 process much easier to understand and manage. It gives us a clear overview of what needs to be done, helps us track progress, and reduces the complexity of managing compliance requirements manually. Ashna provides practical advice, quick responses, and reassurance throughout the journey. Her guidance made a real difference during specific ISO 27001 steps. That saved us time, reduced uncertainty, and helped us keep momentum toward certification. The initial setup was structured and clear for our team. Since this was our first ISO 27001 certification process, having a guided setup helped us understand where to start and what needed to be done. It also helps centralize the ISO 27001 compliance process while working with the internal tools and documentation workflows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scytale?

One area for improvement is that some of the steps and requirements in the platform could be even more intuitive for first-time users. At times, we still needed guidance to understand exactly what was expected or how to best complete certain items. One example is the evidence collection step. For first-time users, it was not always immediately clear what level of detail was expected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Compliance Management with Scytale"
5/5
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
