Automated compliance tracking saves time
What do you like best about the product?
Our goal is SOC 2 Type II attestation to begin, and then we will tackle other attestations such as ISO. We had undertaken a readiness project with one of the big names in accounting, but all was manual and we had to work hard to figure out what was actually needed for policies and configs. Everything is clearer with Vanta, expectations are clear, and systems are monitored which will save time for the attestation and also keeping us compliant. Our reason for selecting Vanta over 2 other compliance softwares was price and the automated connection with an auditor.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are cases where we have good reasons to not follow the exact path as laid out, but there is no way to add a note to explain an exceptionality. This would be useful, and could assist the auditor.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Obtaining SOC 2 attestation. Later other attestations such as ISO that will be useful for our non-North American clients and help us build a market in the UK.
Overall a good audit platform
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta is an easy way to get your certifications done. The platform is designed to be user-friendly, making it accessible to even those who don't have a strong technical background. Additionally, Vanta provides clear and concise instructions that guide users through the certification process, making it much easier to get certified.
What do you dislike about the product?
While the pricing for Vanta is reasonable, it's hard to get an overall price for Vanta + Audits. The price estimations Vanta gave us for audits were a factor 2-3 under the quotes we got from Audit firms.
Vanta does provide excellent security/compliance scanning, but it may not always enhance the actual security as it often feels more like paper security. . However, these minor issues do not detract from the overall quality of Vanta as an audit platform for small businesses.

SOC 2 type 1 support
What do you like best about the product?
User friendly platform, policies templates were very useful
What do you dislike about the product?
The implementation process focused on just getting us to do a few tasks before getting a CSM felt pointless. Not due to the implementation person, but having calls on these things is a waste of time. I was pulled in late so perhaps a self service guide was shared - but would have been more useful to me personally.

SOC 2 type 1
Great software and support to prepare you for an audit.
What do you like best about the product?
It scans your infrastructure after integration and lets you know what you need to work on and what vulnerabilities you need to fix for Audit of Choice, be it ISO27001 or SOC2 for example.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it is hard to find exactly what you need based on the information and menus available. At times you need to drill down pretty deep to find certain vulnerabilities.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta is preparing us for our ISO27001 and SOC2 Audits. Without the guidance of Vanta and the great support and reps we would be totally lost figuring out what systems were not up to par.
I wish I would have found Vanta sooner
What do you like best about the product?
Everything is in one place. Before Vanta, our ISMS was spread across 5 or 6 different platforms. It was a nightmare to keep track of and maintain. Now it's easy to find things, and there are so many automations and integrations with our other systems.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't know if I'd call it a dislike, but if I had a recommendation, it would be to come up with a way to organize the initial set up so that it doesn't look like such a monumental task of setting up an entire ISMS. Maybe break it up into chunks or priority items? Obviously I want access to everything, but seeing over a hundred different outstanding tasks on the home page can be a bit overwhelming.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
One of the biggest problems with our previous solution was that everything was manual. With the integrations and automated monitoring, it takes a lot of that work off my plate.
Recently joined a new company that has been using Vanta for SOC 2 reporting
What do you like best about the product?
Having a single view of our compliance program's in-scope systems, people, and documents. The reminders for past due, out-of-compliance, or upcoming items are also beneficial. In previous roles, keeping track of those using calendars or other more manual methods was error-prone and time consuming.
What do you dislike about the product?
The available integrations are somewhat limited. I can't connect my HRIS system due to a lack of integration. The hierarchy of ownership assignments can be a little cumbersome at times.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta is helping solve for continuous monitoring of our SOC 2 compliance. Having this all in one place with established SLAs and review reminders is ensuring that we don't lose track of anything across multiple teams such as HR, Engineering, and IT.
A Security Compliance Game Changer

Vanta's platform is incredibly clean and intuitive, making it easy for our team to navigate and understand the compliance process. Pre-populated templates and automated workflows took the manual grunt work out of evidence collection and documentation, saving us countless hours.

Vanta's platform goes beyond simple compliance management. They actively monitored our environment for potential security risks and provided timely alerts and actionable insights. This proactive approach gave us peace of mind and increased our security posture.

What do you dislike about the product?
Vanta needs to think of integrating more tools, such as automated vulnerability scans, into the platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta streamlined the process of obtaining SOC2 certification for us. As a small company, it was a challenge because we couldn't dedicate a part of our team to work exclusively on this security project. With Vanta, it was easy to switch between projects without losing context.
Great product for SOC2 compliance

What do you dislike about the product?
Support for some of the Linux distro is lacking. It is worth checking before implementing a new OS on your environment.
However, manual evidence can be provided so we can stay compliant and have Devs on their prefered OS.
