Wow, can you believe it's already December? We here at Vanta sure can't.
Before we break for eggnog, our team is excited to share several product updates that are sure to save you time, so you can spend it on what really matters. ✨
Create shortcut stories in 1-click from Vanta
Making progress on your compliance goals just got easier. For Shortcut users, upon connecting your account to Vanta, a new "Create Shortcut Story" button will appear within each test page. Click the create button, assign the task, and Vanta will automatically populate the story description with remediation steps for your team to follow. Gone are the days of copying and pasting test details from Vanta to Shortcut!
This feature is now live for all Shortcut users. We're excited to hear back on how this release has impacted your team's workflow and velocity for getting stuff done.
New email notification and subscription settings
We're big fans of fewer emails and notifications when possible. To help cut down on the noise, while still keeping your team informed, we've rolled out several updates to how email notifications are categorized and delivered.
We've introduced email subscription categories that reflect how tests are organized within Vanta. Not interested in receiving alerts regarding employee onboarding because you're on the engineering team? No problem. Simply uncheck the categories you'd like to stop receiving email alerts on.
For users who would like to stay informed across multiple categories, but not on an immediate basis, we've rolled out daily and weekly summary emails. Our summary emails include both high priority alerts and lower priority notices, giving your team a digestible view into changes that could impact your organization's security or compliance record.
Group email subscription
We've also rolled out a group email feature that allows you to subscribe mailing lists (or non-Vanta users) to receive immediate or summary email notifications. Want your whole engineering team to be notified of high priority alerts, such as when malware is detected on a company machine? Simply add the mailing list into Vanta and select the topics and frequency of alerts for your team.

Happy holidays! And let’s keep in touch on LinkedIn.
