Vanta

Compliance automation platform with continuous monitoring and a Trust Center

Overview

Vanta is a compliance automation vendor founded in 2018, which it describes as a response to a run of high-profile data breaches; Christina Cacioppo is chief executive and co-founder[2]. The company calls itself remote-first and lists offices in San Francisco, New York, Sydney, Dublin and London, and names Sequoia Capital, Craft Ventures, Y Combinator, J.P. Morgan and Goldman Sachs among its backers[2]. The product connects to a company’s cloud accounts, identity provider, HR system and endpoint tools, then tests configuration against the controls of a chosen framework and gathers the resulting evidence for the auditor. Vanta states that it pulls data from more than 400 tools, grouped in categories that include cloud providers, HRIS, identity providers, MDM, vulnerability scanners and version control[3]. Its framework list covers SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA, HITRUST, the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, ISO 42001 and custom frameworks[1]. Four tiers are offered (Essentials, Plus, Professional and Enterprise); the entry tier is limited to one framework, and questionnaire automation is capped at 25 questionnaires a year on Plus and 144 on Professional[1]. All prices are quote-based. The platform is strongest in cloud-native environments; organisations whose evidence sits mainly in on-premises systems will rely more on manual uploads, and the company does not publish a customer count, showing a placeholder on its about page instead[2].
