A partnership that can scale

Standing out from competitors

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

Building products while pursuing compliance frameworks like SOC 2 or HIPAA can feel complex and time-consuming. Challenges such as unclear integrations, manual evidence collection, and procurement delays are common, but with AWS-native automation tools, companies can overcome these hurdles and accelerate their compliance journey.

In this post, we'll break down three core ways Vanta simplifies compliance for cloud-forward teams, so you can move faster, stay secure, and focus on building.

Deep AWS compatibility that goes beyond the basics

Let's start with infrastructure. Many platforms say they "support AWS," but support isn't the same as being built for it. Vanta is fully architected on AWS and integrates natively with over 40+ AWS services, including AWS CloudTrail, Amazon GuardDuty, and Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS). That means your compliance tooling is working where your infrastructure lives, not patched together on top of it.

This matters because cloud-native teams scale fast. They need tools that keep up, not ones that create extra work. Vanta's deep AWS integration is validated through our AWS Security Competency certification and participation in the Independent Service Vendor ISV Accelerate Program, providing both technical depth and ecosystem trust.

Turn AWS activity into audit-ready evidence

One of the biggest headaches for compliance teams? Evidence collection. Most solutions claim automation, but still require engineers to chase down screenshots or log exports. Vanta changes that with real-time monitoring and over 100 pre-built tests mapped to frameworks like SOC 2, HIPAA, and ISO 27001.

When a misconfiguration happens, Vanta doesn't just flag it, we provide step-by-step remediation guidance. This means less back-and-forth with auditors and fewer hours wasted by engineering. Companies like Peak have already used Vanta's AWS automation to cut audit prep time drastically. With Vanta, you're not just tracking compliance, you're staying ahead of it.

Fast, flexible purchasing in AWS Marketplace

Fast-moving teams can't afford slow procurement cycles. That's why Vanta is available in AWS Marketplace via Private Offers or Channel Partner Private Offer (CPPO). This allows customers to leverage AWS committed spend, consolidate billing, and avoid lengthy vendor onboarding.

More than convenience, this signals trust. Being part of the AWS verified partner catalog ensures customers are working with a solution that meets the highest security and procurement standards.
