About Vanta

Vanta is an automated security and compliance platform that helps companies achieve and maintain SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, PCI DSS, and other compliance certifications without the manual overhead that traditionally consumes months of engineering and operations time. The platform connects to a company's cloud infrastructure - AWS, GCP, Azure - as well as SaaS tools like GitHub, Okta, Google Workspace, and Slack, and continuously monitors the environment for compliance gaps against the relevant framework's controls.

The automated evidence collection is the core value: Vanta pulls audit evidence directly from connected systems rather than requiring teams to manually screenshot configuration pages and upload to spreadsheets. When an auditor needs evidence that encryption is enabled on all S3 buckets, Vanta generates it automatically. The remediation workflow surfaces failing controls to the relevant owner with clear guidance on how to fix the issue. Most companies using Vanta report reducing their SOC 2 Type 2 audit preparation time from 4-6 months to 4-8 weeks.

Vanta also handles vendor risk management, employee security training tracking, and vulnerability management monitoring as part of its platform. The Trust Center feature allows companies to share their compliance posture with enterprise prospects who request security questionnaires - replacing the 40-page manually completed questionnaire with a link to a live, auditor-verified compliance page. For startups and growth-stage companies selling to enterprise customers, Vanta pays back its cost in accelerated sales cycles.
