Vanta - Compliance Management Platform
Automate Compliance. Simplify Security. Demonstrate Trust
Vanta is the leading trust management platform that helps simplify and centralize security for organizations of all sizes.
Thousands of companies rely on Vanta to build, maintain and demonstrate their trust—all in a way that’s real-time and transparent.
Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) is a well-established and structured approach to align ICT with business objectives.
Vanta centralises the collection and management of GRC artefacts and supports processes to keep those artefacts up to date and relevant.
To achieve compliance, Vanta provides a wide range of templates and in-depth guidance to expedite the preparation activities and processes.
During the initial setup stage of Vanta it will be connected to relevant systems and service providers you may have to broaden its integration base.
By virtue of the system having contextual knowledge of compliance artefacts, their controls and systems knowledge related to those artefacts, Vanta will automate certain elements and activities of the compliance journey.
Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) program requires more time and resources to manage than ever before. With increasing security expectations from customers, growing requirements to scale compliance across additional frameworks, and the need to track a growing list of vendors, the burden of your GRC program is ever-increasing. As the workload steepens, you have fewer hours to focus on strategic work that strengthens the security posture of your organization and drives innovation within the security function. Your GRC program needs tools that enable continuous compliance—to take work off your plate and help you manage and monitor changes across your controls and vendors—so you can focus on innovation.
Vanta provides a compliance platform designed to help businesses automate and streamline their compliance preparations and maintenance. Vanta aims to enhance trust in internet businesses by enabling companies to establish, achieve and prove compliance.
The rapid escalation of cyber threats has shifted the focus of compliance further towards the cyber protection components of compliance.
Vanta automates, simplifies and streamlines your compliance efforts by virtue of the following services it provides:
- Automated Compliance: Vanta automates up to 90% of the work needed to comply with various security and privacy frameworks, such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, and more. (The frameworks currently supported by Vanta is presented below)
