The Agent for Risk is your 24/7 GRC engineer for internal risk. It helps risk owners move from surfacing a risk to acting on it. It recommends which controls to prioritize, suggests who to follow up with, and can send automated notifications to stakeholders so your team isn't left herding tasks manually.

‍

What’s new

The Vanta Agent for Risk helps risk owners move faster with full context. With the Agent for Risk, you can leverage context that Vanta already knows about your environment and your program. Act with a human in the loop, always. Program owners review, adjust, and add additional context to automated suggestions based on your internal expertise. Send automated notifications to stakeholders so your team isn’t left herding tasks manually.

‍

The Agent for Risk sits across your entire program, continuously informed by Vanta’s Trust Graph.

‍

Risk to Asset Mapping: A risk without asset context is hard to act on. Risk to Asset Mapping connects each risk scenario to the systems most likely affected, so risk owners can quickly confirm the full picture without starting from zero. You can see exactly where a risk shows up across your infrastructure, which makes both scoping and remediation faster and more precise.
Risk to Control Mapping: Surfaces the controls most relevant to each risk scenario, complete with status indicators showing what's implemented and what's missing, so treatment plans are grounded in what’s actually in place.
Risk to Vendor Mapping: Automatically surface which vendors are relevant to each risk scenario, with context on why, so your risk register reflects the real shape of your third-party relationships.
