fileAI scales trust and compliance to unlock global growth with Vanta

TL;DR

• Challenge: Plans for global expansion (in highly regulated industries) turned compliance into a business-critical growth level. fileAI’s previous solution lacked the tools needed for a scaling global organization. 
• Solution: Automated compliance helped fileAI stay ahead of market-specific needs and track emerging regulations, and a Vanta Trust Center built prospect confidence. 
• ROI: Accelerated deal cycles and expansion into 18 global markets.

The company

Delivering structured and validated data for enterprises

As an AI-native data preparation and workflow automation platform, fileAI’s mission is to free enterprise teams from the bottleneck of siloed, unstructured data. The company transforms any file into clean, verified data for downstream automation across industries, including financial services, insurance, logistics, manufacturing, and retail.

With fileAI’s sights set on global expansion, COO and co-founder Clare Leighton knew the company needed to be compliant and achieve the right certifications to reach their growth goals.

The challenge

Upleveling compliance to scale efficiently 

As fileAI expanded beyond its regional roots into 18 global markets, compliance quickly became a business-critical growth driver. Operating in highly-regulated industries means following strict and complex compliance regulations, and fileAI faced mounting expectations from enterprise customers surrounding security and data governance. 

To add to this complexity, compliance requirements are rapidly evolving, requiring fileAI to consistently adapt. “If we don’t have the right certifications, if we aren't compliant, prospective customers won’t take us seriously,” says Clare. This put additional pressure on the team, as sales conversations were stalled before they even started. 

To remain a market-leading solution, fileAI needed market-leading compliance that could scale alongside its ambitious growth goals.

The Vanta impact

Compliance made simple, trust made visible

Switching to Vanta was straightforward and low-risk for fileAI. After years on a competitor platform that delivered “okay” results, the team was open to trying something new. Around the same time, a new Head of Engineering started at the company, championing the switch to Vanta after using it previously.

The impact

Global-ready, customer-trusted

With Vanta, fileAI has built a scalable compliance framework. The sales team can enter new conversations with confidence, accelerating deal cycles thanks to the Trust Center’s ability to answer customer questions and demonstrate compliance up front. 

Moreover, partnering with Vanta helps ensure the team takes a proactive stance on compliance long term. As the AI market continues to mature and compliance standards evolve, fileAI won’t be caught off guard by emerging, AI-specific ISO or other standards. Compliance is no longer a blocker, but a growth enabler, as the company continues to expand globally, scale aggressively, and build trust, all while leading in AI compliance innovation.
