Restore trust in internet software

Vanta is built on the idea that software can be used to do amazing things for the world – if we trust it to do so. We build security tools that help internet businesses get secure and prove their security, and we can’t do it alone. Would you like to help?

What we do

We started by building the simplest way for a company to prepare for a SOC 2 assessment.

We started with SOC 2 because it was the most common way for an internet business to prove its security. In the course of building for SOC 2, we built out a suite of security tools that every internet business needs: laptop management, account monitoring, employee onboarding and offboarding, cloud infrastructure configuration, policy documentation, and more.

Over time, we’ll add additional certifications (HIPAA, ISO 27001) and partner with industry experts to bolster the ways a business’ security is proved. We’re just getting started.

Our goal is to demystify internet security to the average person, equipping beginners with sane defaults and growing them into security-savvy principals. We see a world in which companies protect customer data and are worthy of your trust.

How we work

We care a ton about working with people motivated by enabling others. Our customers feel this – say, by concentrating on building their products, rather than deciphering compliance lingo – and others at Vanta do too – perhaps when someone automates a tedious process so a coworker can focus on analysis.

We aim for transparency at Vanta, from setting goals to clarifying decisions. Knowing where we’re going and how we’re doing helps everyone make better decisions. We prefer to work with people who thrive in that full-context, high-ownership environment.

We’ve translated those ways of working into our values:

Start with customer needs, not internal constraints

We start with what our users need and then consider our needs, like infrastructure, partnerships, product roadmap, bandwidth, etc. By starting with our users, we’re more likely to solve their most significant security problems.

Play for your first team before your second team

We each have a strong sense of ownership over the company and our individual domains, but we’re non-territorial about our nominal, functional areas. One of the ways we promote a “first team” mentality is by defaulting toward openness: we share information and results so Vanta’ns can make the best decisions in their work.

Decide with feedback, not consensus

We define the decision maker up front and act before time renders a decision obvious and allows for consensus. Afterward, we share results, solicit feedback, and iterate to improve. We preference identified decision-makers for speed: we have an obligation to our users to move quickly, accumulate security wins, and stack the chessboard.

Explore with curiosity, deliver with quality

We’re curious about the world around us, and when we start a new project, we seek to understand the problem space and prior art. We then tackle the problem in a hypothesis-driven way, experimenting and iterating to a solution that delivers results for customers. Once there, we hold ourselves to high standards because our actions impact our users.
