Proactively manage security reviews with an AI-powered conversational interface on your Trust Center

This month, we introduced an AI-powered conversational interface within Vanta Trust Center. Visitors to your Trust Center can ask questions and Vanta AI will generate answers based on the rich foundation of resources already available in your Trust Center.

‍

For instance, visitors can ask questions like “When did you last complete your SOC 2 report and were there any exceptions?” or “How does your company handle encryption?” and get answers, fast. With this new enhancement, teams can build trust and close deals faster with a proactive approach to security reviews.

‍

Additionally, you can now measure your impact on top-line revenue using the new Salesforce integration, measuring revenue influenced through interactions with Trust Center.

Tailor-built features for maturing your program’s needs

Building upon Vanta’s existing enterprise capabilities and customization functionality, we announced an enhanced REST API, support for SCIM provisioning, more multi-instance integrations, and pre-built automated tests aligned to CIS Kubernetes benchmarks for AWS, GCP, and Azure.

‍

These new capabilities enable you to automate more processes right within Vanta, programmatically extract information, automatically initiate external workflows, and build custom integrations.

‍

If you’re interested in learning more about these new capabilities, reach out to your account executive or customer success manager, or contact us here.

‍

Automate even more of your compliance program with new integrations

As our engineering and product teams continue to add new integrations and extend the depth of existing ones to support multiple instances and additional tests, you’ll be able to automate even more of your program. 

‍

Now within Zoom and Cloudflare, you can leverage continuous monitoring across multiple instances. Over the past month, we also launched six new integrations including Lever, CanIPhish, Phalanx, and Ramp. With Ramp and Vanta, you can now track access within their tooling for easy-to-use cards, spend limits, approval flows, vendor payments, and more.

Simplifying Vendor Risk Management workflows

When we first introduced Vendor Risk Management our team delivered a single source of truth for assessing and reducing third-party risk, streamlined vendor security reviews, and assessing and identifying vendor risk. 

‍

Since then we have launched new updates that simplify the experience of running a Vendor Risk Management program. Most recently, our team improved the workflow within VRM to make reviewing findings from AI during security reviews easier. Also, we improved transparency in vendor review, allowing you to seamlessly ignore or reject a vendor and have a log of these actions for future reference.

‍

‍

‍

Build your own Custom Tests, now with deeper customization

With Custom Tests, you now have the ability to adjust Vanta’s pre-built tests as well as create new tests from scratch with custom logic. Since the launch, we’ve seen customers create custom tests that automatically check for things like “AWS Password Policies have specific requirements” and “employee laptops have Crowdstrike Falcon enabled.”

‍

Now, tests can be run on tags in cloud resources. For example, customers add tags related to environment, owner, team, and more to your AWS EC2 or S3 instances. This means even more customization to automate key compliance workflows. 

‍

‍

This capability is available in our Collaborate plan. If you’re interested in learning more, talk to our team today.
