Introducing your compliance co-founder

AI has completely changed how startups build. Small teams can ship faster, find traction sooner, and enter enterprise sales conversations earlier than any generation before.

‍

But expectations have risen, too, with enterprise customers demanding concrete proof of security and compliance as a prerequisite for revenue. The resulting compliance scramble can pull engineers off product and stall deals when they matter most. 

‍

That’s why Vanta has completely reimagined the first-time compliance experience for the agentic era.

Now, the Vanta Agent acts as your compliance co-founder, handling the bulk of the work behind your SOC 2 while helping you build credible proof from day one. It guides your journey, drafts core compliance artifacts, and works alongside you in the AI tools where your team already builds.

‍

The ROI? With Vanta, you're now set on the fastest, most credible path from your first security question to your first enterprise deal.

‍

“Engineering time is our scarcest resource, so anything that reduces the operational overhead of compliance is valuable. Vanta’s Agent helps automate a lot of the repetitive work involved in creating and maintaining policies, which means we can spend less time on compliance administration while still building a strong security programme and earning our customers’ trust.”

—Clementine Markman, Head of Operations at Granola

Review, approve, and get back to building with agentic compliance

Your first SOC 2 can be daunting. Especially when you don’t have a dedicated security expert on staff, or the time to work on it yourself. The Vanta Agent gives you the expertise you need and automates the rest. No new hire required. Here’s how.

‍

First, the Vanta Agent acts as a 24/7 security engineer, guiding you through each task in plain language and getting you ready for SOC 2 in record time. The Vanta Agent builds context and understanding of your business and industry, so your compliance program fits exactly what you need now (and nothing more). Plus, the Vanta Agent explains its reasoning as it goes, so you build real security knowledge along the way.

‍

"As a fast-moving AI company, Vanta matches our need for speed and compliance clarity. The Vanta Agent is like having a 24/7 security engineer built right into the platform. It surfaces what needs to be fixed, continuously monitors our SOC 2 controls, and tells us exactly when and where to act."

—Greg Genung, CEO at Snowfire AI

‍

Fine-tuned with insight from over 26,000+ successful audits and an in-house team of governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) experts, the Vanta Agent also produces quality, audit-ready drafts of core SOC 2 requirements on your behalf. Because your startup is unique, it starts from your company and your context. Then, it drafts the artifacts needed for your audit—including policies, your first risk register, vendor reviews, cloud security measures, and more. You simply review and approve—no pause in shipping required. 

‍

"We’re a three-person team without a dedicated cybersecurity engineer, but our clients still expect enterprise-level security. Vanta's Agent helped build our risk register, surfaced gaps we didn’t know existed, and had us audit-ready in weeks. Vanta gave us the confidence to move fast without cutting any corners. This is what compliance looks like when you can trust Vanta's agent to work alongside you.”

—Ali Mohammed, CEO at JuristAI

Prove your security on day one

When you’re early stage, proving security to prospects often requires a scramble. You may find yourself answering the same questions again and again or struggling to produce documentation at all.

‍

On day one with Vanta, the Vanta Agent automatically builds your Trust Center and an official Letter of Engagement, so prospects can immediately see live proof of your security posture even as you work toward your SOC 2 audit. 

‍

Vanta continuously monitors your posture across 400+ integrations, so what buyers see is always current. You stay audit-ready before, during, and after every assessment, and you keep deals moving forward.

‍

"In healthcare, compliance is what gets you in the room. The Vanta Agent had audit-ready drafts tailored to our business before we finished onboarding. We reviewed, approved, and were back to chasing enterprise deals within the week, with the credibility to back it up. Compliance opened doors we’d been knocking on for months.”

—Dave Spitsen, Founder of Lucena

Built for AI-native teams

Claude, Codex, and other AI tools are where work gets done. Context-switching into a separate platform for every single compliance task adds friction and frustration to your day.

‍

Instead, we brought Vanta to where you already work, so compliance doesn’t break your flow.

‍

Through our remote MCP server, CLI, or our native Claude and Codex plugins, you can complete compliance tasks, generate drafts, and get expert guidance without leaving your AI tool of choice. For an AI-native team, your compliance program should work the way everything else does.

‍

The fastest path to trust

Getting compliant used to mean choosing between fast and credible. Vanta gives you both—you get the fastest path to a quality SOC 2 from the platform 16,000+ companies already trust, including more than half of the Forbes AI 50.
