A partnership that can scale

Tagore prioritized finding a managed compliance partner with an established product, dedicated support team, and rapid release rate.

Standing out from competitors
‍

Tagore's partnership with Vanta enhances its strategic focus and deepens client value, creating differentiation in a competitive market.

Vanta’s CEO, Christina Cacioppo, will join the APAC team at SXSW Sydney next month, where she is set to appear as a featured speaker. SXSW Sydney brings together the brightest minds and most innovative companies from across the globe, providing an ideal platform for Vanta to share its insights on the future of trust.

‍

On October 14, Christina Cacioppo will join Jacky Koh (CEO, Relevance AI) and James Cameron (Partner, Airtree) for a featured session, hosted by Claire Bull (Head of Growth & Investment at ACS). They’ll share lessons on securing enterprise customers, building world-class engineering teams, and expanding into global markets.

‍

In addition to appearing at SXSW Sydney, Christina Cacioppo will also attend two additional events that connect the region’s leading founders, investors and executives: the inaugural Australian CVC Summit and the Vanta “AI is Real” Executive Dinner.

‍

The Australian CVC Summit (October 14) features high-calibre venture leaders from NAB, QBE, and more. Hosted by Deloitte, the program is designed to explore how investment and innovation collide to shape the next wave of enterprise startups.

‍

At the Vanta “AI is Real” Executive Dinner on October 15, Christina Cacioppo will join a host of visionary tech founders as they discuss integrating AI into products and operations—and what this means for the future of the Australian tech ecosystem.

‍

Throughout the week, people will be able to spot Vanta’s iconic branding across Sydney. From trams to digital panels, a cheeky OOH campaign will see Vanta making its mark all over the city.

‍

Bringing the celebrations to a close is the world famous Airtree networking drinks party. Themed ‘Summer Fun’, the Vanta activation promises to turn heads promoting the new Vanta messaging which will be a major talking point.
