Introducing proactive, AI-powered risk management that breaks the cycle of reactive risk

Risk doesn’t live in just one place—it comes from vendors, suppliers, partners, and from inside your business through processes, people, and systems. 

‍

Managing that risk is often fragmented, too. Vendor reviews live in one system, internal issues in another, and leadership reports take hours to compile. And every new vendor, tool, or requirement contributes to another layer of risk. Without a unified view, teams stay trapped in a reactive cycle—unable to act quickly when issues escalate.

‍

That’s where Vanta comes in. In our latest Vanta Delivers, we’re launching a powerful combination of AI-powered workflows and enterprise-grade risk management tools to help your team proactively manage and monitor risk across your entire business. With these capabilities, you can break the reactive cycle, spot gaps sooner, eliminate manual work, and keep leadership informed in real time.

‍

AI-powered policy management

Policies are the backbone of every GRC program—from information security policies to access control policies, incident response policies, and codes of conduct. If you’re building from scratch, just knowing where to start can be overwhelming, and drafting policies from a blank page can be a heavy lift. Even if your team has established policies, keeping them up-to-date and consistent is an endless cycle of edits, updates, and reviews.

‍

‍

Today, we’re announcing that the Vanta AI Agent will soon be fully embedded in your policy workflows, keeping your policies accurate, consistent, and audit-ready without any additional effort from your team. 

‍

With the Vanta AI Agent, you'll be able to:

• Draft complete, audit-ready policies based on your organization
• Apply updates across your policy library at scale, keeping documentation current and consistent
• Review and validate policies for completeness, catching gaps before your auditors or customers do

‍

By putting AI to work on the most time-consuming policy tasks, your team can focus on other priorities—while you stay audit-ready at all times.

‍

AI-powered policy generation and edits will be available for preview in the coming weeks. If you're interested, sign up for early access.

Centralized risk management built for scaled teams

As businesses scale, so does risk—from internal systems to third-party dependencies. CISOs told us their top need was a centralized way to see and prioritize risk across the organization.

‍

Vanta now gives security and compliance leaders a centralized, structured way to manage and communicate risk, creating alignment across the organization, all the way to the boardroom.

‍

‍

With these new features, you can:

• Create multiple risk registers tailored to each business function—like finance, legal, IT, and more—so teams own and manage what’s in their domain
• Roll up key risks into a single, high-level dashboard for executive reporting, board meetings, and strategic planning

‍

‍

No more stitching together point-in-time snapshots or relying on outdated spreadsheets. Whether you’re responding to an emerging issue or proactively briefing leadership, Vanta gives you one living system of record for risk, built to scale with your business.

‍

Our multiple risk registers feature is currently in preview and will be generally available in October for our Scale and Enterprise plans, and as an add-on for Growth package customers. Our enterprise risk rollups feature will be available in preview in November for our Scale and Enterprise plans, and as an add-on for Growth customers.

‍

Proactively and continuously manage vendor risk

As vendor ecosystems grow, point-in-time reviews aren’t enough. Vendors can change their security posture overnight, and without real-time insight, you won’t know it. With increasing reliance on vendors—and rising scrutiny from customers and regulators—your ability to monitor and act on vendor risk in real-time has become critical.

‍

‍

Vanta’s newly expanded Vendor Risk Management (VRM) experience transforms how your team handles third-party security—moving from static reviews to dynamic, continuous oversight.

‍

With this release, you can:

• Move from point-in-time assessments to real-time measurement of your vendors’ risk and security posture
• Configure custom thresholds for alerts based on risk type, severity, or vendor profile
• Accelerate reviews by up to 50% using AI-assisted questionnaires 

‍

Continuous monitoring and alerts for VRM is currently available to all customers who’ve bought VRM. 

‍

Collaborate on security workflows in Slack

Security and compliance rely on cross-functional engagement—from engineers approving access to subject matter experts answering questions in security questionnaires. But aligning stakeholders shouldn’t mean chasing them down.

‍

‍

With Vanta’s updated Slack integration, your stakeholders can take action instantly, right where they work, removing blockers and keeping security moving at the pace of your business.

‍

Teams can:

• Submit and approve access requests right in Slack, with clear context
• Respond to security reviews and questionnaires without platform switching
• Receive tailored notifications to stay on track and accountable

‍

By meeting teams where they already work, Vanta accelerates decisions, unblocks workflows, and drives broader ownership of your security and compliance programs.

‍

Slack integrations for access requests and questionnaire collaboration are now generally available. 

‍

Put Vanta’s AI-powered risk management to work

With this launch, you can use AI to draft and update policies, roll up enterprise risk into a single dashboard, continuously monitor vendors, and collaborate in Slack—keeping compliance work automated, leadership informed, and risk managed proactively.
