What is Vanta?

Vanta is the #1 Agentic Trust Platform—built to help companies earn trust and prove it, continuously.

‍

Every company’s trust journey starts with two connected goals: earning and proving that trust. You earn trust by demonstrating a strong security foundation to customers, partners, auditors, and your board. You prove trust by continuously strengthening that foundation—managing risk, monitoring threats, and acting on real-world feedback.

‍

These two motions reinforce each other. Together, they create a cycle that keeps trust growing stronger as your business scales.

‍

That’s exactly what Vanta was built to power. The Agentic Trust Platform brings compliance, risk, and proof together in one connected, automated system—so trust work isn’t reactive or fragmented, but continuous and scalable.

‍

Each pillar strengthens the others. Compliance ensures the right controls and frameworks are in place and operating effectively. Risk helps teams identify and prioritize the threats that matter most. Proof makes it easy to communicate trust clearly and confidently to every stakeholder.

‍

Under the hood, Vanta connects to 400+ integrations, continuously pulling in data to power monitoring and proactive, agentic workflows that don’t just surface issues—they actually act on your behalf. At the center is the Vanta AI Agent, helping teams stay current, reduce last-minute work, and prove trust with confidence.

‍

How Vanta works

With Vanta, companies can:
‍

• Stay continuously compliant across major security frameworks
• Monitor real-time risk across internal systems and third parties
• Share up-to-date proof of security with customers as the company and base grow

‍

This approach helps security, compliance, sales, and engineering teams work together more efficiently.

‍

Vanta is built around four connected capabilities: compliance, risk, proof, and the Vanta AI Agent. Each capability reinforces the others, creating a single system of record for trust.
‍

Compliance: Automated and always audit-ready

Vanta replaces manual compliance with continuous monitoring and automation. The platform supports 35+ frameworks, including SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, and more, with pre-scoped controls mapped across standards, and the same end-to-end experience extends to any custom frameworks or controls teams need to create.

‍

Key compliance capabilities include:
‍

• Continuous control monitoring with 1,400+ automated tests
• Automated evidence collection across cloud infrastructure, devices, identity, and systems
• AI-powered policy generation, document validation, and summaries
• End-to-end audits, including an auditor portal and pre-scoped controls

‍

Customers use Vanta to reduce audit preparation time and avoid last-minute evidence scrambles by staying audit-ready year-round.
‍

Risk: A unified view of internal and third-party risk

Risk evolves as your business does. Vanta keeps risk management connected to real operational signals instead of static, point-in-time assessments.

‍

With Vanta, teams can:
‍

• Maintain a centralized risk register(s) with configurable scoring, ownership, treatment, and connect risks to controls
• Monitor internal risk signals from assets, cloud environments, vulnerabilities, identity, and systems
• Manage third-party risk with continuous vendor monitoring 
• Use AI-powered vendor assessments with guided remediation

‍

This helps teams prioritize the most important risks as infrastructure, vendors, and threats emerge.

Proof: Clear, continuous trust that’s ready to share

Proof turns security and compliance work into something teams can communicate clearly and confidently. Vanta brings evidence, risk context, and control status together in one place, so proof is always current and easy to share.

‍

With Vanta, teams can:
‍

• Respond to security questionnaires using up-to-date, system-backed evidence
• Share trust artifacts with customers, partners, and auditors in a single click
• Maintain a real-time view of trust posture across compliance and risk

‍

Instead of chasing screenshots or stitching together answers, teams use Vanta to show proof that’s accurate, consistent, and always ready.

Vanta AI agent: Your 24/7 GRC engineer

The most powerful part of Vanta is its AI Agent. The Vanta AI Agent actively works across the platform to automate and improve trust operations. Its capabilities include:
‍

• Saving 4+ hours of work a week, on average
• Analyzing evidence and flagging gaps
• Running vendor assessments and reviews
• Drafting and updating policies, and fixing policy contradictions
• Remediating failed tests with guided steps
• Detecting SLA mismatches and risk signals
• Summarizing findings for audits and reviews

‍

The agent suggests and executes next steps, slashing manual work, reducing missed issues, and boosting prioritization across teams. For many companies, it’s like adding an experienced GRC engineer without adding the headcount.
