Putting 7,000 (and counting!) customers first

Now serving more than 7,000 customers, we’re more driven than ever to help growing companies, automate compliance, unify security program management, and streamline security reviews with our Trust Management Platform. Here are a few of our favorite customer success stories.

Newfront uses Vanta to build trust with enterprises

Headquartered in San Francisco, Newfront, is an insurance brokerage that connects businesses with different lines of coverage. Founded in 2017, the company works with customers of all sizes – from well-known clients like Nextdoor and Calm to new startups and small businesses.

The team knew they needed to build further trust with enterprise clients who had robust compliance and security teams and that committing to SOC 2 Type II certification, as well as other frameworks, would ensure security for customers and be crucial to winning more deals.

By integrating their infrastructure with Vanta to complete an audit, VP of IT & Enterprise Security Danny Macias and his team were able to save a massive amount of time. Thanks to Vanta, Newfront was able to get a SOC 2 Type II report in 10 months. In Danny’s experience at other companies that completed the task manually, this took two years to accomplish.

“Vanta was a game-changer. Not only did it cut our audit time in half, but it saved well over six figures in costs and ultimately helped us build more trust with the enterprise prospects we want as clients.” - Danny Macias, VP of IT & Enterprise Security, Newfront

Belvo stays ISO 27001 compliant and continuously monitored with Vanta

Belvo powers the next generation of financial services in Latin America through technology and data. As a fintech company, Belvo prioritizes security at the center of all the company’s operations. 

Belvo was growing rapidly in 2020 and had started conversations with large clients and regulated entities as they started to scale. To get ahead of the security conversation with stakeholders, Belvo started the ISO 27001 certification process. 

Vanta provided a clear path toward compliance through its platform and customer success programs. Vanta’s deep integration with AWS was the standout feature compared to other vendors in the space. The integrated approach to security controls and the ability to do asset management across workstations, laptops, and servers provided the best unified solution for continuous compliance.

“You want to be compliant every day, not just once a year. Vanta helps you achieve this without slowing your business down.” - Giuseppe Ciotta, VP of Engineering, Belvo

AudioStack saves hundreds of hours while deepening trust with customers

Founded in 2019 in London, AudioStack is a generative AI company that is powering a new generation of audio creation.

Over the last few years, the company has grown substantially as generative AI has gained global popularity.  As a result of this growth, Peadar Coyle, the CTO and Co-Founder of AudioStack, says the business is now investing in its enterprise features to meet the needs of these customers. Part of this investment is up-leveling the business’ security and compliance strategy to demonstrate trust amid concerns around the impact of AI. 

Just three short months after purchasing Vanta, Peadar was able to quickly complete AudioStack’s SOC 2 Type I attestation. Peadar is also saving hours of time as a result of using Vanta’s Access Reviews solution to automate access reviews. Overall, Peadar says that Vanta saved AudioStack roughly 80-100 hours across the board. He’s also able to quickly create and complete policies that used to take him several hours to do.

“Being an AI company requires us to build an even deeper level of trust because this technology is largely unknown. We need our customers to see us as a trusted partner to help them implement this.” - Peader Coyle, CTO and Co-Founder, Audiostack
