Accelerating security solutions for small businesses 

Tagore offers strategic services to small businesses. 

A partnership that can scale 

Tagore prioritized finding a managed compliance partner with an established product, dedicated support team, and rapid release rate.

Standing out from competitors

Tagore's partnership with Vanta enhances its strategic focus and deepens client value, creating differentiation in a competitive market.

Today we’re thrilled to announce the launch of Vanta AI, a new suite of tools that brings the power of AI and LLMs to the Vanta platform to help you accelerate compliance, efficiently assess vendor risk, and automate security questionnaires. 

AI is transforming the way work gets done, especially when it comes to reducing repetitive tasks. According to Vanta’s State of Trust report surveying 2,500 global security and IT professionals, the greatest potential for AI will be seen in:

  • Improving the accuracy of security questionnaire responses (44%)
  • Eliminating manual work (42%)
  • Streamlining vendor risk reviews and onboarding (37%)
  • Reducing the need for large teams (34%)

With Vanta AI, you can hand off your most tedious tasks, freeing up time to focus on strategic security initiatives. Here’s how it works.

Review vendor security docs instantly

Conducting regular vendor security reviews is not only required to maintain compliance — it’s also good security hygiene. 

This typically involves going through dense documents like SOC 2 reports to find critical information about a vendor’s security practices, making reviews time-consuming and labor-intensive. Security questionnaires can ease the burden of reviewing entire documents, but require back-and-forth coordination with vendors for timely completion. 

That’s where AI comes in. 

By supercharging Vanta’s Vendor Risk Management product with AI, security teams can assess vendor security practices faster than ever before. Now, analyzing and extracting relevant information from SOC 2 reports, DPAs, and other vendor documents can take just seconds.

Complete questionnaires in minutes

Answering long and detailed security questionnaires is the standard for demonstrating good security practices to your customers and stakeholders. These questionnaires, however, are highly duplicative, prone to human error, and quickly become out-of-date. 

Now powered by AI, Vanta’s Questionnaire Automation solution instantly generates answers for your security questionnaires by extracting insights from a variety of sources, including your existing library, previous responses, and policies and documents uploaded to Vanta.

Easily edit, complete, and approve responses in a few clicks to complete security questionnaires in record time.

Maintain controls effortlessly

If you want to add a new framework by reusing existing tests and policies, Vanta makes the process significantly easier. Previously, this still involved some manual work to identify and map them to the controls required by the new framework. 

Vanta AI accelerates the end-to-end process by automatically suggesting the best tests and policies for each control. Coming soon, auto-generating control summaries make it easier than ever to maintain controls when adding new frameworks – increasing efficiencies while reducing human error.

“Vanta AI has reduced the time it takes me to review vendor security documents by as much as 75%. It has really simplified answering security questions from multiple documents with a thoughtful design that lets you verify each AI-generated answer for accuracy.” - Daniel Gilmartin, Security Lead at GlossGenius
