Very happy with the ease of compliance with Vanta's automated tests
What do you like best about the product?
The high number of automated tests, leveraging integrations with our other tools, makes ongoing use of Vanta very easy. Notifications are clear and allow you to respond and rectify issues in good time. Slack notifications are particularly helpful. Their customer support is also very responsive and helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Their "agent" which runs on employee machines to monitor basic requirements like disk encryption, can be difficult to manage. It doesn't provide a UI, so can be difficult for staff to know when it's running and diagnose issues.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It automates many of the compliance controls for our SOC 2, which massively reduces the amount of manual work required. It also does a good job of providing a framework for manual evidence gathering, where automoation is not possible.
Tried Vanta for HIPAA compliance, without prior experience with this framework. Great so far.

What do you dislike about the product?
Many Integrations, but always one will be missing: A minor downside is the lack of integration with some applications, such as Typeform.
Learning Curve: If you are not familiar with security frameworks, then you will have a steep learning curve. For those new to it, it is advisable to work with a consultant who has prior experience with Vanta. This initial hurdle can be a bit of a challenge. However, it will take 1 month of part-time work to figure things out.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta has been instrumental in establishing HIPAA compliance for our organization. By providing an efficient platform to monitor compliance levels and gather necessary evidence, it has significantly streamlined our compliance processes. The platform's intuitive design and support for various frameworks have allowed us to scale our compliance efforts effectively. With Vanta, we have clear visibility on compliance-related tasks and understand any blockers that might arise. This transparency has been beneficial in ensuring we meet HIPAA standards consistently. Additionally, while Vanta's learning curve was initially steep, the knowledge gained has made ongoing compliance management much more manageable.
Vanta makes our SOC2 compliance journey manageable
What do you like best about the product?
The security controls needed for SOC2 compliance was laid out already for us, making it easy for our company to work on the needed requirements. There's also the suggestions that they have on each of the controls, be it as a policy template or a best practice on how to implement AWS GuardDuty on your AWS environment. They also have great customer support service, really helpful and responsive. Whenever we have something that needs clarifications, the customer support is always a click away.
What do you dislike about the product?
Monitoring is sometimes unreliable or not reflecting instantly (i.e remediated vulnerabilities should not be appearing)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sales enablement, most of our client requires us to have compliance attestations/certifications. Vanta helps us streamline the process and shorten the period for us to acquire the attestations/certifications.
There's also the maturing of our security practices. As our Company grows, there's a need to maintain and improve our security posture and Vanta helps us see what are the current gaps that we can address be it in the tooling needed or policies needed to be enforced.

What do you dislike about the product?
- Cost of add-ons per framework or standard
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We had a requirement to become SOC 2 certified in a short period of time and working with a consultancy to help build the framework controls that met our business needs and requirements which then fed into Vanta was a good experience. That's not to say that you couldn't do this yourself, but having someone to help guide you through the process was certainly a value add.
Vanta review
What do you like best about the product?
It helps to stay on top of things daily while taking care of security and privacy rules and prepare for audits
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it refreshes tests slowly and some completed tasks may still show as opened for some period of time, but it's not critical at all, usually everything get resolving during a day or so
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It may look confusing when you just start a business which has to go through the security compliance, byt Vanta makes it much easier by splitting all the activities into several buckets and it's easy to follow once you're properly set up. Also, working with policies and regular tasks/reviews + trainings is much easier with Vanta and its reminders.
Vanta recommendation
What do you like best about the product?
It is a great product, saving the company a lot of time (and money). A lot of integrations. A good overview of your compliance.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have nothing to dislike. Sometimes it is harder to find a way with auditor how to comment to evidence especially for those that you need to upload list at the beginning and audit choose the samples. But we alse figure out how to do that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solving compliance process. Make it easier for us and auditors.
Best platform to secure your security audit
What do you like best about the product?
Easy set up and check list of requirements to obtain certificate
What do you dislike about the product?
the price is not cheap and you need to pay for platform and then for auditors which might make it expensive
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Security audits
Helpful structure for divide & conquer on SOC2 & HIPAA
What do you like best about the product?
Native task management with pre-programmed reminders establish clear accountability and high level visibility into progress against a given framework. This is extremely value add for most frameworks where the volume of requirements & turnover on internal teams can make maintenance just as hard, if not harder, than initial implementation.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't think that it's as strong as a HIPAA-only solution, where frankly the complexity may not be worth the squeeze. But for organizations that are implementing other frameworks, or HIPAA alongside other frameworks, the way that the tool can streamline progressing against multiple frameworks simultaneously through shared controls is extremely intuitive and time-saving.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta provides a single source of truth ensuring our framework requirements are met comprehensively and with clear individual-level ownership.
Easy to use for security and compliance tracking
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta's customer success team has been instrumental in guiding Byteboard through building security and compliance program. Monitoring for compliance progress on SOC2 is easy to view in addition to integrations with project management platforms such as Asana.
What do you dislike about the product?
It'd be valuable to have a built in timeline for path to compliance as tasks and activities tend to live in different places (not centralized outside of tabs in platform).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Security monitoring
Great platform, really excited to see how it will perform come audit season
What do you like best about the product?
The interace is really easy to use, the Asana integrations help to push tasks to where our developers and other SMEs work, The dashboards make it really easy to see where things need to be addressed quickly and easily.
What do you dislike about the product?
Transitioning from an existing ISMS program and our own set of controls to Vanta was more tricky than using it straight out of the box. It required more analysis to compare policies and documents we had versus what Vanta's best practice documents were. Not a criticism of the platform, but it has made the onboarding a more time intensive experience than it otherwise would have been.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta is helping us transition to ISO27001:2022 and uplift our ISMS generally
