New US Data Privacy framework for CCPA, CPRA, and all US state privacy laws

‍

Vanta now offers an exclusive US Data Privacy (USDP) framework that helps customers streamline their consumer privacy practices.

‍

This all-encompassing framework allows customers to attest to any current and future US privacy laws, including California’s new CPRA, and new consumer privacy laws in Connecticut, Colorado, Utah, and Virginia. For customers who are considering adding CCPA, USDP will be available in lieu of CCPA. If you’re a current CCPA customer, contact your Customer Success Manager to learn more about migration options.

Two-way Monday.com Integration

Monday com login screen. — *Monday.com integration*

‍

Vanta now supports a two-way integration with Monday.com.

‍

Tasks created within Vanta can now be automatically pushed into Monday.com as items, allowing for quick remediation and minimal disruption of your team’s workflows. In addition, users can assign item owners and update item statuses within Monday.com, which is automatically pulled into Vanta.

Employee Slack Notifications

Notify employees through Slack

‍

Vanta can now prompt employees to complete security tasks through Slack notifications.

‍

Security task reminders in Slack contain a list of security tasks that need to be completed as well as the link to those tasks on the employee onboarding page. This allows employees to use a trusted communication tool and can supplement email notifications, helping you meet your security SLAs.

Six new integrations: Swifteam, AccessOwl, Auth0, and more

‍

Vanta now connects with Swifteam for MDM integration and AccessOwl to build a document upload integration, ensuring that Vanta supports technologies that our customers use.

‍

We’ve also added four more access integrations to our portfolio: Auth0, Cloudflare, Hubspot, and Zendesk. These Access only integrations allow customers that use Vanta’s Access Reviews product to automatically and continuously monitor access in even more tools, without logging into respective admin portals.

Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Organization support

Google cloud platform - select an organization to scan. — *GCP support*

‍

Vanta can now connect to all of a customer’s GCP projects at once by linking their GCP organization.

‍

Easily specify which projects within the organization are in scope and out of scope, and Vanta will automatically pull all in scope projects from that organization. Vanta also detects and fetches new projects in GCP as they are created and displays which projects have been successfully fetched versus those that have failed, as well as the reason for the failure.
