Centralized Compliance Made Easy

All of our compliance-related tasks are centralized in one location. Whenever I have a question or need to handle a process, I can easily find it through the sidebar menu.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you don't use it often, you might have trouble finding what you need. Changes in the product and features are communicated through email, but most of us don't read newsletters nowadays. An in-app update would be helpful.

Managing all compliance tasks in one centralized location is very convenient. Auditors and other stakeholders have their own access to the platform, which makes the audit process much smoother. The system also handles many processes automatically, including setting up reminders and renewal dates. Additionally, the risk assessment feature is excellent.
Vanta: Essential for ISO Certifications
What do you like best about the product?
I have been using Vanta for a year and a half primarily to prepare us for ISO 27001 certification, as well as to keep our services in continuous compliance with certification requirements. The platform has greatly facilitated the management of all the necessary documentation for certification. I especially appreciate how easy the setup process was with the continuous support from the Vanta agent, who guided us step by step, and the included guides were clear and helpful. Vanta's real-time integrations with our systems are extremely useful and allow for efficient maintenance. The software has proven to be robust and aligns perfectly with our compliance needs, and in addition to this, Vanta offers excellent cost-benefit. The ease with which all documentation and processes can be maintained, thanks to everything being in the cloud, has allowed us to significantly optimize our tasks. For me, Vanta has been very useful and valuable, and I wish more people could experience its usefulness.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like Vanta to be more customizable and for the feedback provided to the development team to be considered more quickly and efficiently to make the changes we sometimes need.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta facilitates obtaining and maintaining ISO 27001 certification by managing documentation and processes in the cloud, which streamlines tasks, and offers robust integrations that adapt to our certification compliance needs.

Very happy with the tool, would recommend
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta's software has significantly streamlined our ISO audit process. The platform allows us to map controls directly to certification requirements, and its process management tools enable us to assign work or evidence-gathering tasks directly to the relevant controls and service owners. This setup also provides comprehensive tracking for the steering committee, making oversight much easier.
Recently, I reached out to Vanta's customer support for assistance with an access review question. My support agent, Paige, was outstanding—she created a video with a screen recording that clearly demonstrated all the possible solutions within my account, which made it very straightforward to identify and resolve the issue.
I'm very satisfied with both the software and the support team, and I would recommend Vanta to others.

It has taken me some time to get familiar with how the different tools in Vanta are arranged in the navigation. I would really appreciate a feature that makes it easier to jump to my most recently visited or bookmarked pages within the tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing our evidence gather processes for compliance audits, Access and vendor security reviews as well as mandatory staff training programs
Streamlined Vulnerability Management with Powerful Integrations Make Compliance a Breeze
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta has truly transformed how we handle security and compliance workflows. The platform excels at making vulnerability management both easy and convenient—something that's rare in the compliance space. What I appreciate most is the intuitive way it allows us to manage and resolve security and compliance action items without the usual headaches.
The standout feature for me is the Linear integration. Being able to seamlessly convert vulnerabilities and security callouts into actionable tasks for our engineering team has been a game-changer. It bridges the gap between security/compliance teams and engineering, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks. Instead of manually tracking items in spreadsheets or bouncing between platforms, we can create tasks directly in Linear, which our engineers are already using daily. This integration alone has significantly improved our response time and accountability.

What do you dislike about the product?
While Vanta is excellent overall, there's definitely room for improvement in how it handles scan management. My main frustration is the lack of an easy way to deactivate scans that aren't relevant to our specific environment. When certain scans become repetitive or don't apply to our infrastructure, it would be incredibly helpful to have a more granular way to turn them off.
Additionally, I wish there was better memory functionality for deactivated action items. Currently, when you deactivate something, your options are limited—you can either deactivate it indefinitely or deal with it repeatedly. What would be ideal is a middle ground: an option for Vanta to "remember" that we've reviewed and dismissed certain items, without having to make permanent deactivation decisions. This would reduce noise and help us focus on genuinely relevant security issues.

As a startup with limited human resources where everyone wears multiple hats, Vanta has been essential in making compliance manageable without requiring a dedicated full-time team. The platform solves several critical challenges that are particularly acute for small, growing companies:
Centralized Policy Access
Vanta provides a single source of truth for all our security and compliance policies. Instead of hunting through shared drives or outdated wikis, every team member—whether they're in engineering, sales, or operations—can instantly access the policies they need. This is invaluable when you don't have a compliance department and everyone needs to be self-sufficient.
Streamlined Training Management
The platform makes security training accessible and trackable for our entire team. Employees can review training materials on their own schedule, and I don't have to chase people down or manually track completion. For a small team juggling competing priorities, this automation is a lifesaver.
Administrative Efficiency
From the administrator perspective, Vanta gives me easy oversight of all compliance tasks and monitoring without drowning in spreadsheets or manual processes. I can quickly see what needs attention, who's responsible, and what's been completed—all in one dashboard. This is critical when compliance is just one of many responsibilities on my plate.
Reduced Compliance Burden
Ultimately, Vanta transforms compliance from a resource-intensive burden into a manageable, sustainable process. Instead of needing specialists or consultants, our lean team can maintain our security posture and compliance certifications while still focusing on building our product and growing the business. For a startup, this efficiency directly translates to cost savings and faster time-to-market for compliance-dependent deals.

Streamlined Audits and Integrations, But Needs Better Evidence Management
What do you like best about the product?
Streamlined audits, evidence uploads, integrations, and implementation.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of evidence reference labels. For example, labeling the "Password Configuration" control PW-1 or something similar will provide an easy way to reference which control we need employees to handle.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Audit, vendor, and compliance management. Audit readiness.
Straightforward and Collaborative—Vanta Makes Teamwork Easy
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta is very straight forward to use thanks to their intuitive UI. You can pretty much find everything you need in a few clicks. They also allow for super easy collaboration with team members.
What do you dislike about the product?
I can't think of any downsides on my end.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Security Compliance and Vendor Security and Privacy Assessment are problems Vanta is solving for us. They just make the entire compliance and security process so much more efficient and easy. We are also able to save a bunch of time by using Vanta to facilitate all of this.
