Vanta celebrates Black History Month
To celebrate Black History Month, we hosted company wide virtual events and challenges for our Vantans.
Scavenger hunt
We started off the month with a scavenger hunt for household items that were invented by African Americans. Below are the items we asked Vantans to search for and their inventors:
- Hairbrush invented by Lyda Newman
- Potato chips invented by George Crum
- Ironing board invented by Sarah Boone
The winners of our scavenger hunt won prizes purchased from small black owned businesses. Check them out below!
- Jigsaw puzzles and other goodies from Timeless Goods, where a portion of their puzzle sales are donated to Black Girls Code
- Hot sauce from Sienna’s Sauce
- Candles and aromatherapy from Soyful Aromas
- Coffee from Blk and Bold who pledge 5% of their profits to initiatives aligned with sustaining youth programming, enhancing workforce development, and eradicating youth homelessness
Trivia
In true Vanta fashion, we hosted a Black History Month Trivia event. The winning team was the Drama Llamas! Huge thanks to AvoNow and TriviaHub for hosting.
Guest Speaker: DB Bedford
We were honored to have DB Bedford, CEO and founder of iNeverWorry Consulting, speak to Vantans about Emotional Intelligence (EI). DB led an inspirational talk about the importance of EI and how to utilize EI to live a worry-free life. DB is the author of the books iNeverWorry, EI Secrets, and Black Intelligence. In addition to the session with DB, Vantans also received a copy of his Black Intelligence book.
Culture cookie
To close off Black History Month, we have partnered with Culture Cookies, a black owned business on a mission to enhance cultural awareness one bite at a time. Our Vantans received a culture cookie and culture card with information about Black history.

PCI Compliance Selection Guide
Determine Your PCI Compliance Level
If your organization processes, stores, or transmits cardholder data, you must comply with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), a global mandate created by major credit card companies. Compliance is mandatory for any business that accepts credit card payments.
When establishing strategies for implementing and maintaining PCI compliance, your organization needs to understand what constitutes a Merchant or Service Provider, and whether a Self Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) or Report on Compliance (ROC) is most applicable to your business.
Answer a few short questions and we’ll help identify your compliance level.

Does your business offer services to customers who are interested in your level of PCI compliance?
Identify your PCI SAQ or ROC level
The PCI Security Standards Council has established the below criteria for Merchant and Service Provider validation. Use these descriptions to help determine the SAQ or ROC that best applies to your organization.
Good news! Vanta supports all of the following compliance levels:
SAQ A
A SAQ A is required for Merchants that do not require the physical presence of a credit card (like an eCommerce, mail, or telephone purchase). This means that the Merchant’s business has fully outsourced all cardholder data processing to PCI DSS compliant third party Service Providers, with no electronic storage, processing, or transmission of any cardholder data on the Merchant’s system or premises.
Get PCI DSS certified
SAQ A-EP
A SAQ A-EP is similar to a SAQ A, but is a requirement for Merchants that don't receive cardholder data, but control how cardholder data is redirected to a PCI DSS validated third-party payment processor.

SAQ D
for service providers
A SAQ D includes over 200 requirements and covers the entirety of PCI DSS compliance. If you are a Service Provider, a SAQ D is the only SAQ you’re eligible to complete.

ROC
Level 1 for service providers
A Report on Compliance (ROC) is an annual assessment that determines your organization’s ability to protect cardholder data. If you’re a Merchant that processes over six million transactions annually or a Service Provider that processes more than 300,000 transactions annually, your organization is responsible for both a ROC and an Attestation of Compliance (AOC).
