Introducing new products to secure and accelerate an AI-powered future

Last year at VantaCon 2022, co-founder and CEO Christina Cacioppo shared our vision for evolving Vanta from an automated compliance tool to an end-to-end trust management platform. 

‍

Since joining Vanta as Chief Product Officer this summer, I’ve had the opportunity to continue expanding Vanta’s trust management platform to scale with you beyond your initial set of compliance frameworks — helping you turn security and compliance into strategic assets, build and deepen customer trust, and realize greater efficiencies from your security and engineering teams. Powered by Vanta AI, we’ve advanced our platform to help you manage security and compliance with less work and more confidence.

‍

Today we’re excited to announce new and upcoming product capabilities that empower you to accelerate innovation and strengthen security in an increasingly AI-driven world. These offerings include advanced reporting and dashboards, additional integrations and customization, support for the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, and new Vanta AI capabilities like policy generation and automatic mapping across risks, controls, tests, and frameworks.

Unify security program management with advanced reporting and dashboards

When you can see everything in one place, you’re better equipped to make informed decisions. But this is getting harder as the number of risks, tools, and data increases. In fact, Vanta’s State of Trust Report found that only 4 in 10 organizations rate their risk visibility as strong. 

‍

Launching today, Vanta’s new reporting experiences empower you with insights so you can prioritize and act on key risks for your company, measure the success of your security program, and influence stakeholders with data. These reporting enhancements include three new reports to help you manage your security program more effectively: 

‍

• Risk Management Dashboard: Quickly get up to speed on risk management from one place. Understand your company’s risk distribution with a risk heat map and identify areas that may need investment before they become critical with the Top Risk Categories graph. Currently in preview, Risk Management Dashboard gives you an overall status of risk treatment, including unapproved risks by treatment type and overdue tasks, and lets you view risk trends to understand how your company is progressing over time.

‍

• Workspaces Console Dashboard: Manage framework progress, controls and evidence, and audit schedules across multiple business units in one place. The Workspaces Console Dashboard gives you a unified view of security and compliance across different business units so you can identify the parts of your organization that require attention and assign ownership to the right team members. 

‍

• Executive Report: Visualize, summarize, and measure the state of your entire program. See top-level program KPIs, like risk over time and framework progress, and get the insights you need to make recommendations and influence stakeholders.

More integrations and more customization for the modern GRC leader

Compliance isn’t a cost center; it’s an accelerator and differentiator. That’s why we continue to  scale and evolve our GRC offering to help you build, maintain, and expand your compliance program — with a lot less work. 

‍

This starts with our integrations, which provide continuous, real-time monitoring of your security and compliance. From data warehouse and cloud providers to HRIS and CRM tools, we’re excited to announce that Vanta now supports over 300 integrations to power even more automation across your tech stack. 

‍

‍

With the Vanta Integrations API, generally available today, you can also create your own integrations to connect your internal tools to Vanta. These private integrations let you monitor your in-house systems with the same level of automation as our pre-built integrations.

‍

Building your own integration is just one of the ways you can adapt Vanta to meet your unique needs. In other cases, you may want to tweak an existing integration or test. This is where customization comes in. Over the coming weeks, we’ll be rolling out two new ways for you to customize tests within the Vanta platform: 

‍

• Modify Vanta’s built-in tests by customizing certain parameters. For instance, you can adjust the default retention time on a test to meet your company’s internal governance requirements.

‍

• Create new tests with new logic, which will especially be useful if your company has unique internal audit commitments or industry-specific or region-specific controls, such as local data residency requirements.

‍

‍

Additionally, we’ve also improved test visibility to give you a look under the hood of Vanta tests, including the API requests Vanta is making and the resources fetched. Now live, this improved test visibility helps you verify the accuracy of tests and fix findings more easily.

NIST AI Risk Management Framework and new Vanta AI use cases

The rapid rise of generative AI has created new opportunities for innovation while also introducing new risks, and many of you are looking for AI risk management best practices as regulations are still being developed. At Vanta, we’re committed to the safe and responsible use of AI and helping you do the same. 

‍

Today, we’re announcing our next step in that journey by adding support for NIST AI Risk Management Framework within the Vanta platform. NIST AI Risk Management Framework is a structured guideline developed by NIST aimed at mitigating risks associated with the development of AI products. With support for the NIST AI RMF, we’ll help the most innovative companies continue to push boundaries with AI in a secure and responsible way. 

‍

‍

And to further realize the potential of AI in streamlining manual security and compliance processes, we’re also excited to announce new upcoming use cases for Vanta AI today. These include: 

‍

• Automatic mapping across risks, controls, tests, and frameworks
• Policy generation and explanation 
• Automatic code and script generation for easy test remediation
• Automatic ingestion for info from screenshots

‍

These are just a few examples of how we’re leveraging AI to transform the future of trust — and we’re just getting started.
