The company

Dust provides the platform that lets any company build specialized AI agents

Dust is a fast-growing agent operating system. With its cutting-edge platform, teams can deploy agents to handle tasks like automatically updating Salesforce records, creating GitHub issues, or generating documents automatically. Because these agents operate within enterprise systems and access valuable company data, Dust is laser-focused on embedding security into every workflow and making sure security is top of mind for every member of its team. “Baking in security from day one is part of our operating DNA,” says Nico Chinot, Dust’s U.S. General Manager.

The challenge

Proving security while moving at startup speed

Dust was scaling fast. But the company could foresee a bump in the road: Customers would want to see more proof of their security posture before signing deals. 

Where Dust started: As Dust’s technology evolved rapidly, the company decided it needed a 

stronger, clearer way to showcase its commitment to security.

Dust’s pivot point: Rather than risk a slowdown in product momentum by managing compliance themselves, the Dust team decided to go with Vanta’s Agentic Trust Platform for its ability to streamline workflows across compliance, risk, and proof. Dust knew it needed a trusted leader whose name carried instant credibility and could evolve with the rapidly shifting AI landscape and regulatory environment.

“We’re not a shop that picks a vendor because it’s the cheapest. We optimize for quality, and Vanta struck us as the category-defining company.”
—Zeid Marouf, Security Engineer, Dust
