Vanta - helping a small start-up gain SOC 2
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta was intrusmental in helping our start up gain SOC 2 compliance. Their main tool was very intuitive and our CSM gave us many helpful bits of information to further streamline the process. I mainly worked on building out the documents and their pre-populated templates saved a ton of time. It also seems like it will be very helpful in keeping our SOC 2 renewal each year. I know our Devops teams really liked having the easy integration abilties of their various tools into Vanta
What do you dislike about the product?
Some parts of the user experience are complicated and its hard to gain all the context needed for what you need to do. As a small startup you dont always have the right people working on the right things so it was difficult to figure stuff out. We used Miria Security (recommended by Advantage partners) and that was pretty helpful to push us over the finish line.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have to gain SOC 2 for some of our existing client contracts and some of our future work that we are going after.
A good tool to streamline certification management
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta is great at providing guidance and tools to support the process of meeting the requirements for various certification standards as well as maintaining them ongoing. Unless you have a dedicated staff to work on these standards, a tool such as Vanta is essential in making the process digestible.
What do you dislike about the product?
There aren't any major downsides the product overall - I would just cite little things. I wish there was a more straightforward way to search the platform. Search queries seem to be limited to sections and the universal searching isn't all that helpful. There also seems to have been a lot of turnover in the 2 or so years that we've been a customer making it difficult to know who our main point of contact is. Vanta does not put a lot of effort into proactive personalized communications.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta has enabled us to fulfill our goal of being ISO27001 and SOC2 compliant. Achieving this goal would have been very difficult, if not improbable, without Vanta to guide us through the process and provide us with the tools to develop our policies and procedures that support these standards. It's also great to have a platform that alerts us to the tasks we need to perform to maintain compliance with the standards.
Vanta makes compliance a joy and not a choir.
What do you like best about the product?
Having one place for all security compliance needs. Everything is mapped and easy to upload, create, manage, and follow. The most efficient system for risk and compliance ever created.
What do you dislike about the product?
An ability to work with third-party auditors via Vanta, making audits seamless and smooth. Ongoing monthly support from Vanta is very helpful and keeps us updated on enhancements, connecting with subject matter experts, and simply answering questions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta is our risk and compliance solution, allowing us to have a strong, complete, and robust security compliance program. In addition, Vanta will enable companies to manage risk and compliance with fewer resources because automation is the key.
Vanta app is well organized and purposeful
What do you like best about the product?
This app organizes your tests and documents in a user friedly interface.
What do you dislike about the product?
The team could be more informative for portal changes. Typical of many SaaS apps, changes to look and feel happen often without notice and it can take a minute to find where things have been moved to.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SOC 2 compliance and audits
Compliance Can Be Simple
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta made it so easy to just get straight into becoming SOC-2 compliant. We had the entire process broken down into phases and their checklists made it simple to delegate across the team.
What do you dislike about the product?
I did not dislike anything, but I would recommend having weekly check-ins with your customers to answer any questions and keep the momentum going.
Thankfully our team was self-motivated, but I could see this project becoming overwhelming for other companies.

Using Vanta in a Small Startup
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta gave us the template to go from 0 to certified. In a small startup, I was the sole person responsible for getting us certified, and with the help of the platform, we were able to get certified in about 5 months - from Day 1 to certification. Really helpful platform. Very easy to integrate all our vendors, and have tests run automatically, especially the vulnerability scanning.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it can be challenging to navigate the entire list of all controls/policies and documents, but this is a minor gripe.

Vanta helps us keep our arms around compliance without having an entire staff/team member solely dedicated to it.
