Your cybersecurity advisor, on demand.

Expert AI paired with a real security advisor for founders and small teams, at a fraction of a vCISO’s retainer. Answers, real policy drafts, and questionnaire help, without hiring anyone.

No credit card required.

Real work back, not a runaround.

Ask in plain English. Scout answers, drafts, and explains, always from material written by security experts, so it can’t invent a requirement that isn’t real.

01
Plain answers
What a control means, whether a rule applies to you, what a customer’s review is really after.
02
Real documents, never invented
Access control, incident response, and the rest, filled in for your company. Download and send.
03
Questionnaires, explained
Scout explains each question so you answer it honestly. It never writes the answer for you.

A finished policy, generated.

Scout fills an expert-authored structure with your company’s details and hands back a real, downloadable document. It never writes the controls itself, so nothing is invented.

An AI that can’t make it up.

In compliance, a confident wrong answer is a liability. The AI tools that got caught fabricating audits were the warning. Scout works only from expert material and stops when it can’t back an answer, so that can’t happen here.

Works from expert material
It never writes your controls itself, so there is nothing to invent.
Stops when it’s unsure
When it can’t back an answer, it says so and stops, instead of putting you on the hook.
Readiness, not a verdict
It gives you an honest read. A credentialed human makes the compliance call.

When it matters, a real advisor steps in.

Scout handles the everyday. For the calls that carry weight, a credentialed cybersecurity advisor reviews the work, owns the answer, and gets on a call with you. Pick a time, bring the question.

Credentialed humans, not a chatbot
Advisors hold senior security credentials such as: CISSP, CCSP, CISM, and C|CISO.
High-stakes work routes to a person
A compliance determination is never fabricated. It goes to a human before anything ships.
Booked in a couple of clicks
Pick a day and a 30-minute time that works. Move or cancel it whenever you need.

Questions founders ask.

Do I need SOC 2?

Often it is requested by a customer, not legally required. Scout helps you work out whether a specific deal actually needs it, and what to tell the customer in the meantime.

What is a vCISO, and do I need one?

A virtual, or fractional, Chief Information Security Officer you retain monthly for security leadership. Scout gives you that judgment on the moments that matter, at a fraction of the retainer.

Is Scout a compliance tool?

Scout is an advisory-first assistant. It answers questions, drafts real policies, and explains questionnaires, and a credentialed advisor signs off on high-stakes work. It gives you readiness, never a compliance guarantee.

Does Scout connect to my systems?

No. Scout never connects to your environment, so nothing is left open into your systems, and you stay in control of your data.

Is it really free to start?

Yes. You can ask anything and preview a first draft of any document for free. You only pay when you want to finalize and download.
