2021 has been an incredible year here at Vanta. We’d like to take a moment to share some of our proudest accomplishments as we look back on our fifth year in business. But first, we’d like to thank our customers who have helped us succeed in securing the internet and protecting customer data.

Our customers help to drive our product roadmap, have openly shared their successes with Vanta, and have helped create new opportunities for us. We are proud to say that we now have over 2,000 customers and many of whom can be attributed to the word of mouth successes of our customer base. So, thank you to our customers for supporting us as we continue to do our best to support you.

A very busy year

Vanta has added four new compliance standards this year. We now offer five compliance standards total, including SOC 2, HIPAA, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, and GDPR. We’ve also added 32 new integrations, making it even easier for our customers to get audits done in the fastest way possible. Our user interface has also modernized and simplified in 2021 as well, allowing for users to see more assessments, audits, and policies in one streamlined place.

This year has led to some big growth for the company. We’re excited to share that we’ve expanded our expertise internationally. Our compliance standards and continuous monitoring platform are leveraged by customers spanning 45 countries. Internally, we’ve welcomed over 100 new employees to the organization and we will continue our growth efforts in 2022.

We’ve shared only some of what we’ve accomplished this year – check out the full 2021 highlight reel below. We’re excited to continue building the best in class security and compliance products so you can focus on growing your business. Looking forward to working with you in 2022!
