Compliance on autopilot, great integrations but not cheap
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to setup. Very useful integrations. Give a roadmap/guide to get certified in ISO27001. Covers a lot of bases that we would need other products for.
What do you dislike about the product?
Cost is high, some features still behind higher plans. Would like task tracking more directly embedded.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Achieving and maintaining ISO270001 compliance. General improvement of security posture.
Effortless Process Implementation Made Simple
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to make implement all the process. While developing the SOC2 certification all the process was straight forward
What do you dislike about the product?
There are quite a few warnings, but these are connected to the SOC2 certifications.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta made achieving the SOC2 Type 2 certification straightforward by assisting in the creation of various controls. From there, it was easy to request and upload all the necessary documents, which helped streamline the entire compliance process.
Simplifies Compliance, But Needs More Integrations
What do you like best about the product?
The abstraction from the complexity of the audit compliance
What do you dislike about the product?
Not integrated with enough business tools
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Compliance with SOC 2, it eases the processes and ensuring compliance on many areas.
Comprehensive and Collaborative, But Task Overlap Can Be Confusing
What do you like best about the product?
Comprehensive, great layout and supporting in product guidance to ensure we resolve any issues/tasks at hand in the best way possible. It' s also easy to collaborate on. We use it almost on a daily basis as we received notifications and alerts. It has been easy to implement some of the feaures and roll it out to the org. Customer support has been great and we have a dedicated CSM that has supported us thrughout our journey.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes confusing as many of the tasks form part of other lists, reports, charts, alerts and they are intertwined but in a confusing way.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before Vanta, ensuring ongoing SOC 2 compliance at Josef required manual tracking across multiple systems — cloud infrastructure, HR tools, access management, vulnerability management, and evidence collection. This created risks around:
Missed control evidence (e.g. proof of access reviews or change management processes)
Lack of real-time visibility into security posture
Time-consuming audits due to fragmented evidence and ad-hoc screenshots
Limited accountability across engineering and operations teams
Vanta centralises all of this by automatically monitoring controls and integrations (Google Workspace, AWS, Slack, GitHub, ClickUp, etc.), surfacing exceptions, and maintaining continuous audit readiness.
💡 How That Benefits Josef
Continuous compliance and audit readiness
Vanta automatically pulls and updates evidence daily, ensuring our SOC 2 controls remain in place year-round. This has removed the “scramble” before audit periods and simplified the annual audit cycle with Johanson Group.
Reduced manual workload
Instead of maintaining spreadsheets and screenshots, Vanta automatically checks controls like employee onboarding/offboarding, MFA enforcement, and change management. Our compliance and engineering teams can now focus on remediations, not evidence gathering.
Improved visibility and accountability
Dashboards show real-time compliance health across control families, which helps track ownership and identify gaps (e.g., missing device encryption, overdue risk assessments). It’s become the single source of truth for our audit posture.
Integrated risk and vulnerability tracking
With integrations to ClickUp and vulnerability management tools (like our Vanta Zap to auto-create tickets when new vulns are detected), we’ve automated follow-up on risk items and can demonstrate a complete remediation workflow.
Streamlined communication with auditors
During audits, most evidence can be shared directly from Vanta — audit requests are mapped to controls with attached evidence, reducing back-and-forth and cutting audit prep time significantly.

Great AI and Automation, But Takes Time to Learn
What do you like best about the product?
The AI features, the UI is nice. I like the automation it provides.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be clunky to figure out how to use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Speeds up review times during the sales cycles by providing the AI feature for the security questionnaires as well as a Trust Center to make it quicker and more accessible to customers. Some customers don't even send us a questionnaire because they can get the assurance level they need by using the Trust Center only.
Great for Onboarding, Offboarding Could Be More Flexible
What do you like best about the product?
The policies that are already built out in the system
What do you dislike about the product?
Offboarding an employee can be a little difficult because you have to wait for systems to talk to each other. it would be better if you could offboard someone manually as part of our termination checklist
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta is helping us pass security audit tests from other companies because the policies are already built in and we can easily point to them when documents are being requested.
Helpful Templates, But Integration Sync Needs Improvement
What do you like best about the product?
Using the existing templates helps a lot in creating policies.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are times when the integration fails to update as expected. While I realize that syncing can require some time, there are occasions when it simply doesn't function properly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Defining the list of policies and tests is helpful because it allows us to create documentation that supports these policies. This process ensures that our documentation is aligned with the established policies, making it easier to maintain consistency and clarity.
Good self-serving platform for compliance needs
What do you like best about the product?
I like all the templates for policy and compliance documents that come with the platform and are easy to customize for the required use case.
I think the number of integrations of pretty good and the vendor analysis is good and has caught most of the vendors we have.
The amount of tests and the remediation steps are helpful.

Seamless SOC 2 Compliance, Strong Integrations
What do you like best about the product?
I've been using Vanta for around one to two years primarily for SOC 2 compliance, and I am very impressed with the ease of setup. I was pleasantly surprised by how it seamlessly integrated with our infrastructure, making the process of getting SOC 2 certification as straightforward as possible. Vanta efficiently keeps our team on track to maintain SOC 2 compliance, effectively eliminating the need for someone within the team to constantly remind us of the necessary tasks. The system has all tasks pre-set, allowing me to see exactly what I need to accomplish without having to figure it out myself, which simplifies the compliance process significantly. The integrations, specifically with infrastructure providers like AWS and Google Cloud, are a standout feature for me, as they allow us to align our tests efficiently. Vanta excels in providing integrations and individualization that adapt to our setup needs. This level of integration is crucial for streamlining our SOX 2 certification process, which is a significant benefit for us.
What do you dislike about the product?
I've noticed some inconsistency among audits through Vanta. Initially, our audits were somewhat lenient, but the latest audit became extremely strict suddenly. This inconsistency, even with the same auditors, is problematic as it makes it challenging to predict the time needed for future audits, despite having Vanta streamline our processes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I find Vanta solves compliance tracking, ensuring our team stays on track with SOC 2 requirements efficiently.
Effortless Compliance Tracking and Clear Guidance with Vanta
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate how easy Vanta is to use and how clearly it shows our progress in the compliance process. It makes it simple to identify which areas need improvement and lets me see precisely what needs to be addressed. The setup was uncomplicated, and connecting our services was a smooth process.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be frustrating that certain features are only available with a more expensive subscription.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta has helped our very small team stay on top of compliance all year by highlighting what we need to focus on ahead of time. This makes it much easier for us to manage our responsibilities and remain compliant.
