Some great features but don't underestimate the work you will have to do
What do you like best about the product?
Easy platform to use. The company are always making updates - continual improvement of the system. Very easy implementation and easy integrations.
What do you dislike about the product?
They state it does most of the work for you, but it really doesn't. There is a lot of work to o outside of the system. There is no way to add in justification for inclusions or exclusions for a SOA. The editing pages on vendors are not as good as they used to be - think there may still be some bugs
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
it has centralised a location for managing risk and vendors. Algining tasks to frameworks has made tracking compliance much easier
Effective SOC2 and ISO27001 Compliance Management for Small Teams
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta has been instrumental in helping our 10-person team achieve SOC2 Type 1 and ISO27001 certifications efficiently. The interface is exceptionally well-designed and user-friendly, making complex compliance tasks manageable. The onboarding process was smooth and helped us get started quickly. What impressed us most was the seamless integration capabilities with various tools, which streamlined our security monitoring. The customer support system works well - the chatbot provides immediate responses, followed by detailed email support from the team. Overall, Vanta significantly improved our compliance workflow efficiency, transforming what could have been an overwhelming process into a structured, manageable system.
What do you dislike about the product?
While Vanta is powerful, there are areas for improvement. Initially, we faced challenges with limited support for Japan-specific tools and integrations, though this has since been addressed. The lack of Japanese document templates at the beginning made the setup process more time-consuming for our team. For newcomers to compliance, the platform can feel overwhelming - it's not always clear what the optimal sequence of tasks should be or which steps to prioritize first. More structured guidance on the recommended workflow would be helpful. From a startup perspective, the pricing could be more accessible for smaller companies just beginning their compliance journey. However, these issues haven't significantly impacted the overall value we've received from the platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta has solved several critical business challenges for our growing startup. Before Vanta, managing SOC2 and ISO27001 compliance manually was overwhelming and time-consuming - we struggled with tracking complex requirements, collecting evidence, and maintaining consistent security practices across our organization. The compliance process was opaque, making it difficult to know what steps to take and when. Vanta automated our compliance monitoring, centralized our security management, and provided clear guidance on certification requirements. As a result, we successfully achieved both SOC2 Type 1 and ISO27001 certifications, which significantly enhanced our credibility with enterprise customers and accelerated our sales process. The platform has saved our small team countless hours of manual work while ensuring we maintain robust security practices. This has allowed us to focus on our core business while confidently meeting our customers' security expectations.

Some templates in Vanta are US-centric, but it hasn't been a big problem and will no doubt improve over time.

Vanta Made Our SOC 2 and ISO 27001 Journey Easy
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta has been an amazing assistant for our security and compliance program. My favorite part is the large number of SaaS integrations and their automated tests and monitoring. It gives us a comprehensive, real-time view of our security posture across almost our entire tech stack. It saves us a lot of manual work and provides us peace of mind.
What do you dislike about the product?
While the platform is powerful, sometimes the integrations can be buggy. False positives and random disconnections happen occasionally. Luckily, their support team is responsive and helpful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The biggest problem Vanta solved for us was simplifying security audits. It streamlined everything. With Vanta's help, we were able to obtain our ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 2 certifications with a small team. The platform guided us through the entire process, and their network of audit partners made the final audit smooth and efficient.
Makes compliance easier and lets us focus on building
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta significantly reduces the tedium of compliance work. As someone who prefers focusing on product development rather than compliance details, I appreciate how easily Vanta connects with our existing tools, identifies potential issues, and provides step-by-step instructions for resolving them. It allows our team to invest less effort in compliance and more effort in building our product.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike compliance work altogether, so even streamlined compliance remains a chore. In a more serious note, some of Vanta's instructions aren't thorough enough, occasionally leaving us to figure out missing details ourselves.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Reduces the burden of compliance management by automating detection of compliance issues, and helping us solve them.
Simplifies compliance admin
What do you like best about the product?
Makes sure everything is covered, reminders to keep everything everything up to date, ability to check compliance progress for different certifications, everything is in one place making it easier for staff and auditors to access.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the instructions for integrations are a bit circular (eg the AWS set up ones keep referring you to other articles rather than the steps to obtain the IDs at the start of the process) and the policy templates are US-centric.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tackling compliance in a small business that doesn't have a dedicated department for it.
Easy and Informative

Vanta makes it easy to add applications that you are using in your system to help make sure you stay compliant. Makes it easy to see what certifications you are eligible for based on your current processes and technical system implementation.
