Meaningfully improves security and compliance
What do you like best about the product?
Getting SOC-2 certified was a great process for us that helped us meaningfully improve our security and our operational excellence while facilitating customer security reviews. Vanta made the process of defining, achieving, and certifying SOC-2 compliance a breeze by pulling in metadata from various systems and giving us a clear dashboard for our security and compliance work. It's also helped us generate detailed reports to share with security-conscious customers. And their strong relationships with auditors made it easy to pick a great auditing firm to work with.
What do you dislike about the product?
Vanta changes fast, and so occasionally we've had to re-build our internal workflows as the tool changes - but it's price we're happy to pay for consistent progress and innovation that makes our overall security posture stronger.

An excellent way to manage your SOC2 compliance and audit
What do you like best about the product?
This is a no-nonsense product. Gives you a target list, priorities and reminds you to get stuff done. If you are contemplating a SOC2 audit there is no better place to start than Vanta.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it isn't clear what the scope of your audit is. Vanta could do a better job helping define the scope. I suspect this will come with time. Also the vulnerability tracking and reporting is less sophisticated than we would like.

It manages our SOC2 audit, compliance monitoring and keeps us moving/on track.

SOC 2 / Compliance made easy
What do you like best about the product?
Made the SOC 2 process manageable - gave us a clear checklist of what to do, and had ongoing monitoring to make sure we stay compliant. Was equivalent to having an expert guiding us through the process.

N/a- the platform was lights above anything else we found. Main areas for improvements going forward are adding integrations as they continue to build on the platform, and supporting other security types (e.g. ISO 27001)

SOC 2 and general security compliance. Got certified far faster than we thought possible with no issues.

We used Vanta to streamline our security practices. The dashboard allows us to maintain company wide security policies that keep everyone safe.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure to have in depth knowledge of your own architecture as that is the one piece you need to own as a company.
Vanta was useful in setting us on the path to reach SOC II compliance.
What do you like best about the product?
I found the Trust Report and boilerplate policy packets most useful.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have lost trust in Vanta's agent and user compliance tracking features. They have reported false negatives too many times.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta was very useful in orienting us on the path to compliance. We entered our first audit period very well prepared, and received praise from our auditor.
Using Vanta to kick start SOC2 audit
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta allows us to build living policies and be alerted to non-compliance which also makes it easy for us to export out those policies for MSAs with clients.
What do you dislike about the product?
Vanta is in its early stages, some of the usability does not lend itself to large bulk actions or organization.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta has saved us time and effort in identifying gaps in our security compliance, MFA, device encryption etc...
Auditing the dozens of SaaS services manually would have taken much much longer and still there would have been things missed.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
For all of the shortcomings in the product, the team at Vanta is SUPER responsive and actively seeks feedback. Many of the issues ranging from bugs to product enhancements have already been addressed, often immediately after we have spoken with them. For that reason alone I would recommend Vanta.
