Accelerating international momentum: Announcing Vanta’s EU data centre

Last fall, we expanded our international presence with a European headquarters in Dublin. Since then, our customer base in Europe has grown rapidly and we’ve scaled our investments across the product and business to accelerate our momentum in the region. 

‍

Today we’re excited to announce the opening of our new EU data centre, in addition to launching localised product features, updated policy frameworks, and an expanded partner ecosystem. Together, these investments will enable us to better serve Vanta customers in Europe.

Vanta’s EU data centre: Now open and fully operational

‍

As we continue expanding our global footprint and supporting increasingly larger organisations with more complex security and compliance needs, we want to ensure customers have more control over where their data is stored. 

‍

With Vanta’s new data centre, customers in Europe have a new option for meeting internal policies on data storage location and regulatory requirements. Based in Frankfurt, Germany, our EU data centre is already up and running and operated by Amazon Web Services.

‍

“At Hellon, a strong commitment to security is of paramount importance to us, which means we need to ensure both our data, and that of our customers, is secure,” said Sami Näveri, CFO, Hellon. “As a Vanta customer, we’re pleased to have our data reside in Europe, giving us the peace of mind that we’re continuing our industry leading approach to security. We’re excited for the local enhancements, support and features Vanta is delivering, demonstrating their strong investment in the European market.”

Better serving customers in Europe

In addition to opening our EU data centre, we’re also excited to announce the rollout of localised product capabilities and support, plus an expanded partner ecosystem in Europe. 

‍

• Localised product experience: Vanta customers can now access pre-built policies, security awareness training, and email and Slack notifications in French, Spanish, German, and English. This way, companies can onboard employees and stay up to date with Vanta in their language of choice.

‍

• Local technical support: At Vanta, we aim to put customers first. To better serve customers based in Europe and resolve issues in a timely manner, we now offer timezone-aligned technical support Monday through Friday, including local holidays. 

‍

• Updated ISO 27001 framework: Reflecting the latest changes in ISO 27001:2022, we’ve also updated our ISO 27001 framework, the leading information security standard globally. This ensures that customers are getting certified against the latest version while giving previously certified customers ample time to transition to the new version by October 31, 2025. 

‍

• Expanded partner ecosystem: We’ve also added new partners with local experience and knowledge of country-specific challenges, giving Vanta customers in Europe more options and flexibility as they navigate the complex security and compliance environment. Over the past year, we’ve grown our European partner network of vCISOs, Managed Services Providers, and auditors significantly and plan to more than 10x our network this year. 

‍

“By partnering with Vanta, we are able to provide our customers with a holistic approach to cybersecurity certification and management,” said Hugh Devine, VP Compliance Strategy, CompliancePath. “Sustaining certifications has historically been a challenge for many organisations whose time and energy are solely focused on the initial certification process and quickly diminish after certification is achieved. Our adoption of Vanta for vCISO services, ISO internal audits and GRC support enables our clients to easily navigate through the certification process while significantly minimising the time, effort and money required to getting, and staying, compliant.”

‍

And we’re just getting started

‍

I’m thrilled by the momentum we’re seeing in Europe as the leader in automated compliance and trust management and look forward to further growing the local team here in Dublin. We’re hiring across Sales and Customer Success — explore our open roles today.
