About Vanta
What is Vanta?
Vanta is an agentic trust platform that automates compliance and risk management for companies needing SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI, and GDPR certifications. It eliminates manual evidence collection by connecting directly to your cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure), HR systems, and code repositories. Vanta runs 24/7 monitoring, alerts you to control failures, and generates auditor-ready reports.
What problem does it solve?
Compliance is slow, manual, and distracting. Vanta automates evidence collection, policy generation, and questionnaire responses so your team can stop juggling spreadsheets and focus on building product. It helps B2B SaaS startups unblock enterprise sales, healthcare companies meet HIPAA requirements, and engineering teams automate security monitoring.
Who is it for?
Best for B2B SaaS startups needing SOC 2 fast, companies handling healthcare data requiring HIPAA compliance, and mid-market to enterprise security leaders managing multiple frameworks. It is not suited for organizations that need fully manual compliance workflows or have no cloud infrastructure to integrate.
Real use cases
Startups use Vanta to close enterprise deals within weeks instead of months. Security leaders at mid-market firms scale compliance without adding headcount. Enterprises combine compliance, risk, and third-party vendor management on one platform. Over 16,000 customers trust Vanta, reporting eliminated spreadsheets, 2,000 hours saved annually, and 20% faster deal cycles.
