Screening powered by intelligent automation
Scaut combines a proprietary AI engine with human review to deliver checks that are fast, accurate, and fully auditable at any scale.
Sub-2-hour turnaround
Most standard background checks complete in under 2 hours. Automated workflows eliminate manual handoffs so results arrive before your candidate loses interest.
Global coverage, strongest in CEE
Criminal record, identity, employment, education and financial checks in 36 European countries, with the deepest coverage in Central and Eastern Europe. Any other country worldwide on request. One API, one platform, one invoice.
AI + Human-in-the-Loop
Our hybrid model uses machine learning for high-confidence cases and routes ambiguous findings to trained analysts. You get automation speed with expert accuracy.
Document intelligence
OCR and ML-powered ID verification reads, authenticates, and cross-references identity documents in seconds, detecting fakes that manual checks routinely miss.
API-first architecture
Every feature is accessible via REST API. Embed screening directly into your ATS, HRIS, or onboarding workflow with webhooks and real-time status callbacks.
99.97% uptime SLA
Scaut runs on redundant EU-hosted infrastructure with multi-region failover. Your screening pipeline never stalls because of our platform.
Nobody knows Central & Eastern Europe like we do
Founded in Prague and trusted across the CEE region, Scaut was purpose-built for the markets that global platforms often get wrong.
Direct integrations with national criminal registries, insolvency courts, labour offices, and credit bureaus, not third-party aggregators with stale data.
Candidates complete their consent flow and upload documents in their own language. Higher completion rates, fewer support tickets.
Our in-house legal and compliance specialists know the labour codes, privacy laws, and sector regulations of each CEE country, so your HR team doesn’t have to.
Reach a real human expert in your time zone, in your language. No offshore call centres, no ticket queues with 48-hour SLAs.
Covered markets
Compliance isn’t a checkbox. It’s architecture.
From GDPR-by-design data flows to ISO-certified infrastructure, Scaut was engineered to make compliance the default, not an afterthought.
GDPR by design
Data minimisation, purpose limitation, and consent management are embedded in every workflow, not bolted on after the fact.
EU data residency
All personal data is stored and processed exclusively within the European Union. No trans-Atlantic transfers, no subprocessor surprises.
ISO 27001 certified
Our information security management system is independently audited and certified to ISO/IEC 27001. Your data is protected by a verified security programme.
Full audit trails
Every check, consent, action, and decision is logged with timestamps and actor IDs. Regulator-ready reports in seconds.
Right-to-erasure workflows
GDPR data subject requests trigger automated deletion pipelines. Retention periods are configurable per data category and jurisdiction.
Sector-specific compliance
Pre-built compliance profiles for Finance (AML/KYC), Healthcare (NIS2), Critical Infrastructure, and more, tailored to your regulatory environment.
Your compliance officer will love us.
Our DPA, security documentation, and compliance pack are available on request, before you sign anything. We believe you should scrutinise your vendors, not trust them blindly.
