Trust Center updates: AI-powered chatbot and FAQ categories

We are excited to announce two new features for Trust Centers: the AI-powered chatbot and FAQ categories. 

Available in preview for any Trust Center customer, the AI-powered chatbot enables visitors to your Trust Center to ask questions through a conversational interface. Vanta AI will generate answers based on the rich foundation of resources already available in your Trust Center.

Creating an FAQ section as part of your Trust Center is a great way to provide answers to commonly asked security questions. Now, FAQs can be grouped by category, allowing your Trust Center visitors to more easily navigate available answers. 

‍

Edit your Trust Center FAQs to create and organize categories.

Centralize your audit communication with commenting and Vanta’s API

We are excited to announce two new audit-related features: in-app comments and new endpoints in the Vanta API. 

Vanta’s API and commenting feature simplify compliance by centralizing all your communications in one place. No more endless back-and-forth, losing track of evidence, or switching between tools. Now, you can share documents and comments with your auditor instantly, whether they’re using Vanta or their preferred tool. Everything syncs up perfectly, so you can achieve compliance faster and easier than ever.

SCIM support for Office, JumpCloud, and OneLogin

We are excited to announce SCIM automated user provisioning and access control in preview, with support for Office, JumpCloud, and OneLogin.

‍

This enables organizations to leverage their identity provider as the sole source of truth for user management, programmatically controlling user access to Vanta. This feature is available to Scale package customers.
