Overview
What Vanta does
Vanta is a compliance automation and governance platform designed to help organisations earn and prove trust through automated compliance management. The platform supports 35+ compliance frameworks including SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR and custom frameworks, automating compliance workflows and providing continuous monitoring to keep organisations audit-ready. Unlike traditional point-in-time audits, Vanta's continuous monitoring automatically tests controls in real time and maintains compliance status. Core capabilities include automated evidence collection and gap assessments that identify compliance shortfalls, automatic generation of required documentation (SOC 2 System Descriptions, ISO 27001 Statements of Applicability) and centralised policy and evidence repositories. The platform includes vendor risk assessment automation, employee access reviews, and vulnerability management prioritised by severity. The Vanta Agent uses artificial intelligence to draft policies, complete questionnaires automatically and surface compliance issues, functioning as what the company describes as a '24/7 GRC engineering team'. Vanta includes a Trust Center enabling organisations to showcase their security posture and compliance status to customers and stakeholders via public or private links. The platform integrates with 300+ pre-built system connections and supports over 90% automation of compliance tasks. Vanta serves over 16,000 customers ranging from startups to enterprises, with organisations reporting benefits such as '2,000 hours saved annually' and faster deal cycles through automated compliance evidence.

The honest half
Where it falls short
Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about Vanta.
- No published pricing for any tier; all plans require requesting a demo and contacting sales
- Essentials tier limited to one compliance framework; organisations needing multiple frameworks must upgrade to higher tiers
- Plus and Professional tiers feature unclear differentiation; specific pricing and included questionnaires not published
- Enterprise pricing fully custom; no transparency on costs or what features are included
- AI questionnaire automation capped at 25 annually in Plus tier, only 144 annually in Professional tier
