We are excited to announce the release of Multi-Entity(aka Multi-Product) Support in Scrut platform. This new feature empowers mid-market and large enterprise segments to manage multiple entities within a single tenant account, providing greater flexibility and efficiency in compliance management.

Challenges faced by Organisations

1. Complexity in Managing Diverse Entities: As businesses grow and expand, they often operate through multiple entities such as subsidiaries, business units, or product lines. Each entity may have its unique compliance requirements and policies, leading to complexities in managing diverse compliance data.
2. Inefficient Policy and Evidence Assignment: Without a multi-entity capability, assigning policies and evidence to the appropriate entities becomes time-consuming and error-prone. It requires duplicating efforts and maintaining separate records for each entity, leading to inefficiencies.
3. Lack of Visibility Across Entities: Organisations struggle to gain comprehensive insights into their compliance status across different entities when compliance data is scattered or siloed.

How it works?

1. Configuring Multiple Entities/Products: To begin using the Multi-Entity feature, admins can access the "Settings" section of the platform. Within this section, they will find an option to "Manage Products." Here, they can set up and manage various entities such as Business Units (BUs), Products, Subsidiaries, or any other distinct organisational units relevant to their business.

1. Linking Entities/Products to Policies and Evidence: When creating new policies or evidence items, users have the option to link specific entities to each item. This linking process enables a direct association between the policy/evidence and the relevant entity. Users can select one or multiple entities to ensure that each compliance item is appropriately aligned with the corresponding organisational unit.

1. Editing Entity/Product Associations for Existing Policies and Evidences: By default, your existing policies and evidences are linked to “Organisation wide”. You can easily edit that. Moreover, organisational structures may evolve over time, leading to changes in entity assignments for certain policies and evidence.

1. Displaying Entity/Product Labels: To provide users with a clear overview of the associations between compliance items and entities, the linked entity label is prominently displayed in the Policy and Evidence pages. This visual indicator ensures that users can quickly identify which entity each item is related to, promoting transparency and simplifying compliance monitoring.
