Trust at enterprise scale: Introducing Vanta’s Agentic Trust Platform

Building trust is critical for today’s most ambitious businesses. Why? Because companies viewed as trustworthy grow up to four times faster. Yet earning and proving trust remains harder than ever.

‍

As organizations scale, their attack surfaces grow—and so do their tech stacks. Every new tool meant to increase security often fragments it, leaving teams buried in overhead and blind spots. In fact, nearly two-thirds of business and IT leaders say they spend more time posturing their security rather than protecting their business—a costly trade-off that leaves businesses exposed. CISOs know this model doesn’t scale. What’s missing is a connected, scalable system that makes it easier to turn security work into real trust.

‍

Introducing the Vanta Agentic Trust Platform. Powered by Vanta AI Agent 2.0, the platform combines automation with intelligence—understanding your environment, anticipating what’s next, and coordinating workflows across compliance, risk, and proof. The result: A trust engine that powers growth.

‍

“CISOs today are under enormous pressure to balance risk, resilience, and resources. Vanta’s new Agentic Trust Platform brings automation and intelligence together to continuously manage—not just monitor—security and compliance. By reducing manual effort and surfacing the right metrics, it helps leaders protect the business through uncertainty while proving measurable trust at scale.”

— Phil Harris, Research Director, IDC

‍

As we head into VantaCon, we’re unveiling the next generation of capabilities—Vanta AI Agent 2.0, Organizations Center, Risk Graph, and Customer Commitments—built to redefine how enterprises manage trust at scale.

‍

The next evolution of the Vanta AI Agent connects and streamlines trust workflows

Vanta’s Agentic Trust Platform comes to life through the Vanta AI Agent 2.0—the intelligent core that powers it.

‍

We first introduced the Vanta AI Agent in June to help teams reclaim time lost to repetitive, manual work. Since launch, teams using the agent estimate saving an average of four hours per week by automating evidence collection and streamlining policy management.

‍

Now, the agent is evolving into something far more powerful: your built-in, always-on GRC engineer that’s always one step ahead. Powered by context and memory, the Vanta AI Agent 2.0 understands your environment end-to-end—anticipating what’s next, providing proactive, personalized guidance, and keeping your program in sync.

‍

‍

The Vanta AI Agent can:

‍

• Accelerate compliance and audit preparation. The agent pulls from your policies, controls, frameworks, tests, and documents—turning static compliance work into a dynamic, interconnected system. It automatically collects and validates evidence, eliminating one of the most time-consuming and error-prone parts of audit prep. Ask the agent to identify updates for a new framework, draft policies for an office expansion, or recommend privacy adjustments for EU operations—and get actionable, tailored responses in seconds.
• Automate the questionnaire process. The agent takes the first pass at questionnaires—filling in verified answers, assigning subject matter experts, surfacing gaps before they slow reviews, and giving sales and security teams ready-to-share responses to close deals faster.
• Review and monitor your vendors. The agent streamlines vendor oversight from discovery and due diligence through continuous monitoring, surfacing high-priority alerts so teams can focus where it matters most.
  
  

"Vanta’s AI Agent has helped us uncover inconsistencies between policies and documentation that would’ve otherwise taken much longer to identify. It’s been especially valuable during audits, saving us hours of manual review and letting us focus on improving our controls rather than chasing details!"

—Martin Tschammer, Head of Security, Synthesia

Vanta AI Agent 2.0 capabilities will be available in the coming months. 

‍

Gain visibility and control across your enterprise with Organizations Center

As organizations grow, compliance and risk programs often become fragmented. New products, acquisitions, and regions introduce additional frameworks and evidence managed by different teams—creating duplication, silos, and blind spots that make it nearly impossible for security leaders to see, let alone manage, the full picture.

‍

The Organizations Center is the next phase of Vanta’s enterprise platform—designed to bring that picture into focus. It connects multiple Vanta organizations into one intelligent system of record, giving CISOs and GRC leaders a unified view while maintaining separation where needed. 

‍

‍

What’s new for enterprises in Vanta:

• Define scopes across your organization. Segment compliance by business unit, product line, geography, or acquisition—and let Vanta automatically adjust as systems, people, and vendors evolve with adaptive scoping. (Now in preview.)
• Manage auditor requests in one place. Follow your auditor’s exact request list and manage the entire process in Vanta or through the API. Collaborate internally and leverage Vanta AI to evaluate evidence, catch issues early, and streamline every review. (Now in preview.)
• Unify overlapping frameworks. Vanta already cross-maps tests across frameworks. Now, you can group related controls into common requirements with mapped evidence, policies, and risks. Built by our in-house GRC experts, these controls are precisely scoped to avoid overmapping or undermapping. (Coming early next year.)
• Gain organization-wide visibility. Get a single view of all organizations and their underlying business units and frameworks. Align programs, share policies and frameworks, and track program health in one place. (Coming later next year.)

‍

Unify risk management with the Vanta Risk Graph

Most organizations manage risk in silos—internal controls, vendor assessments, and system configurations all tracked separately with disconnected tools. No single platform can see across every layer of risk—from people to infrastructure—to paint a complete picture. The result? Blind spots, duplicate work, and missed opportunities to act before small issues become big problems. 

‍

The Vanta Risk Graph changes that. 

‍

Powered by Vanta’s broad set of integrations spanning people, systems, assets, and vendors, the Risk Graph delivers a single, expansive view of organizational risk, so you can see what’s happening, understand what matters most, and know exactly where to prioritize action.

‍

By continuously analyzing your data, the Vanta AI Agent surfaces key risks and suggests the next best steps. For example, when a contractor has the wrong access, you'll receive an alert, plus context with clear, actionable mitigation steps—whether that’s tightening a control or updating a policy.

‍

‍

Use the Vanta Risk Graph to:

• Unify internal and external risk. Connect customized, asset-linked risk registers with AI-analyzed vendor data for a complete, evidence-based view of ownership and impact 
• Scale enterprise risk management. Link operational scenarios to top business risks with enterprise risk roll-up, giving leadership clear visibility into ownership, progress, and exposure
• See the full impact of a vendor breach. Instantly connect vendor access, cloud configurations, and control evidence to show how a breach affects your systems, people, and data
• Add context to every risk. Connect controls, assets, and vendors so each risk comes with built-in context, making impact easier to understand, defend, and prioritize 
• Act with intelligence. With the Vanta AI Agent, surface high-impact issues, get recommendations, and take guided action—like sending follow-ups through the Vanta Exchange or tightening controls
• Stay continuously connected. As systems, vendors, and users evolve, the Risk Graph updates in real time, keeping your entire risk posture current and audit-ready

‍

“Managing risk used to mean juggling spreadsheets and disconnected systems. Today, we use Vanta to centralize risk tracking across teams, giving everyone a shared source of truth. The Risk Graph will give us a single, connected view of where our internal and external risks intersect, helping us prioritize and respond even faster.”

— Heidi Pili, Director of Technology Governance, Risk and Compliance, ShipBob

‍

The Vanta Risk Graph will be available next year. 

‍

Keep every promise with Customer Commitments

Every contract comes with obligations—like subprocessor updates and breach notification SLAs—that must be tracked and met. Yet most organizations manage these manually or across scattered systems, making it hard to know who’s accountable or whether commitments are being met. 

‍

Customer Commitments is the only solution in automated compliance that lets you centralize, track, and act on every promise you’ve made, and seamlessly connect them to your GRC program:

• Centralize contractual obligations. Bring all obligations—standard or custom—into one place
• Monitor in real time. Get alerts when commitments are at risk and take corrective action before deadlines are missed
• Automate follow-through. Map commitments to relevant controls and trigger workflows directly from the platform
• Communicate proactively. Keep customers informed through your Trust Center with verified, transparent updates

‍

‍

“Customer Commitments is exactly what teams need to manage obligations with confidence. It streamlines the process of tracking and upholding customer requirements by centralizing everything in one place across teams. Beyond strengthening compliance and security, it turns compliance into a growth driver, not just a cost center.”

— Craig Schwartz, General Counsel & Head of InfoSec, Nominal

‍

Customer Commitments is in preview and will be generally available next year. Request to join the preview waitlist here.
