4 ways to scale compliance with AI

You got compliant—congrats! That’s a big milestone. It tells customers, investors, and the world that you take security seriously. But compliance doesn’t stop at your first audit. As your company grows, so do the requirements. You’ll have to manage new frameworks, more policies, faster timelines, more scrutiny, and more complexity.

‍

Modern GRC teams need to do more with less. Budgets and headcount are limited, yet security programs are still required to be resilient, audit-ready, and efficient. Manually maintaining and updating everything is slow, error-prone, and draining for your team. 

‍

That’s why we built Vanta AI—the first and only AI-powered trust management platform. In this blog, we’ll walk you through four ways it can help you scale your compliance program.

‍

Meet your new compliance partner

Unlike other tools that just check the box, Vanta AI acts as your 24/7 compliance engineer. It’s already grounded in the full context of your company and frameworks. This means it can proactively help you manage your program and spot risks you might miss.

‍

Think of it as:

• Your first pass on policies, documentation, and security questionnaires
• Second set of eyes for flagging gaps, risks, or inconsistencies
• A guide offering tailored recommendations based on your program 

‍

Vanta AI takes the busywork off your plate, so your team can focus on strategy, not spreadsheets.

‍

#1 Map controls to policies, without the manual work

Getting started with a new tool is never easy—especially when bringing over your compliance program. One of the hardest, most time-consuming parts is mapping all of your controls to your policies. Some companies can bring upwards of 30 policies, each with 20+ controls. And doing that manually can take weeks. 

‍

Vanta AI cuts that down to hours:

• Extracts key details like titles, version history, and SLAs
• Suggests control mappings with clear explanations
• Builds a reusable, scalable foundation for your compliance program

‍

“Vanta AI has made maintaining our overall GRC program much easier and more efficient. One of the biggest improvements has been in automated control mapping… What used to take hours of manual cross-referencing can now be done in minutes.”‍‍

#2 Speed up policy reviews and approvals with summaries

Policy updates—big or small—usually require a formal approval process. It’s important, but it can also slow things down.

‍

Vanta AI simplifies policy reviews with automated change summaries:

• Compares new versions to the old
• Generates a clear, editable summary of changes
• Attaches the summary directly to the approval request

‍

Approvers can instantly see what’s changed—making the process faster and clearer for everyone.

‍

“Vanta AI is like having an extra teammate dedicated to security and compliance admin work... It’s been a huge time-saver for us.”‍‍

‍- Kevin Mercado, Chief of Staff, Sunthetics

#3 Catch issues before they become bigger ones with SLA remediation 

Your policies and practices can drift out of sync. Maybe a policy says “quarterly review,” but the test only runs annually. Left unchecked, those mismatches can delay audits—or worse, create real security gaps.

‍

Vanta AI automatically flags these gaps and recommends fixes:

• Highlights SLA mismatches between policies and test cadences
• Suggests next steps to resolve issues
• Coming soon: automated detection of conflicting language across your policy library

#4 Write and maintain policies painlessly with automatic policy generation

Writing policies from scratch is hard. Keeping them up-to-date is even harder, especially when updates are scattered across docs, drives, and Slack threads.

‍

Vanta AI takes the pain out of policy work. It generates tailored first drafts, applies edits across all your documentation at once, and flags gaps or inconsistencies before they become audit issues. You can even highlight a section to get instant, context-aware guidance. 

• Generate complete, tailored policies in minutes
• Update once and apply changes everywhere
• Catch missing clauses or misaligned requirements before audit

‍
