Vanta

Security compliance automation.

What it is

Vanta is the leader in automated security and compliance for SaaS companies. It helps startups get 'audit-ready' for certifications like SOC 2, ISO 27001, and HIPAA in weeks instead of months. By connecting directly to your cloud infrastructure, it continuously monitors your security posture and alerts you to any gaps. Vanta automates the tedious evidence-collection process, saving founders and engineers hundreds of hours of manual work and helping them close enterprise deals faster by proving their security standards.
