Vanta for security
What do you like best about the product?
The regular alerts which notify if something goes wrong and the vulnerability scans
What do you dislike about the product?
I would say the updated UI I kind of liked the way it was displaying information before
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Preparing for SOC 2 Type 2 and We got our SOC 2 Type 1 with Vanta's help
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a great tool to show your vendors and partners that you are in compliance with all the policies and security. It also makes the job easy to keep everything in one place
A great product to keep your tech stack security compliant
What do you like best about the product?
It simplifies the process of becoming SOC 2 or HIPAA compliant - so you can invest your time in product development and go-to-market strategies.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the notifications are too many to handle, and it kind of clutter your productivity.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were trying to get SOC2 type 1 and 2 certificates and using vanta we were able to achieve that milestone in lesser time comparatively.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Highly recommended if you are on a public cloud and going for SOC certifications
Great ROI for removing a lot of security-based administrative burden
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta allows our company to reduce the heavy administrative burden of security reporting and tracking - leaving our company to be on top of our security posture and set up to succeed against various security audits that our organisation is faced with.
What do you dislike about the product?
Would be improved if many of the manual tasks flagged in Vanta were something that it could automate!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SOC2 Compliance and tracking. Tracking our security documentation and software in a faster way.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Measure up how much time is taken when trying to keep compliant to the various security standards. There is a bit of upfront work with Vanta required to make the whole setup usable - but the benefits come from it's longer-term usage against security standards that take a while.
Took the pain out of compliance for SOC 2 Type I
What do you like best about the product?
We went into this process expecting the worst - vendors we've engaged in the past overpromise and under-deliver, customer service doesn't exists. Quite the opposite with Vanta, they delivered exactly what they said they would, on time, on budget.
What do you dislike about the product?
Really can't complain - we had a job to do: Attain SOC 2 Type I compliance, they helped us get it done.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Security and privacy compliance certification.
Vanta helped accelerate our audit
What do you like best about the product?
The need to gets things complete off of the automated tasks helps keep you in compliance. Knowing that all of your items are good to go helps give a busy CEO/CTO peace of mind.
What do you dislike about the product?
Setup is tedious and can take quite a lot of time. Evidence collection wasn't built in previously and is still a bit hard to navigate. Depending on the auditor you use, you may still be spending quite a lot of time keeping compliant.
There are still some things that Vanta doesn't do well on the evidence collection side. In fact, we had to navigate a few exceptions because Vanta reported some items incorrectly.
This doesn't automate 100% of your SOC 2 requirements but still does a fairly good job.

SOC 2 Type 2 audit
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just keep in mind that SOC 2 is not a certificate nor is it a compliance requirement, it is an audit. Audits help surface what you could be doing better in your organization and you can tweak your controls as you wish.
Vanta is not an auditor and can sometimes get tricky if your auditor isn't really well versed with Vanta (even though the auditor was recommended to me by Vanta).

It is a good tool to start the SOC 2 audit
What do you like best about the product?
The agent that is installed on the computer gives a very useful overview to review important aspects regarding the safety of the company, provides the necessary requirements to take into account before going to the SOC 2 audit, in addition to providing some advantages in tools security you require to comply with SOC2
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like some reports to be a little more detailed, and to be able to customize the inspection depending on the size or characteristics of the company, for example for startups
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
we improve our policies
We review our entire work team and correct possible issues with the security before they are exploited
It allows us to gather what is necessary to present a SOC2 audit

Good tool, I recommend it before going to a security audit
Great Shortest Road to SOC 2 for Smell Companies with Single or No Security People
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta will integrate with your identity store, cloud accounts, and laptop (or laptop management) to run checks that are required for SOC 2.
What do you dislike about the product?
They're a little bit behind on their integrations. For example, they don't support AWS SSO, so there's a big blind spot that we couldn't get visibility into through Vanta.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A single pane of glass to run security checks through many different cloud applications. It helped us to get close to SOC 2.
Security monitoring made easy
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta constantly monitors all of our services for accounts that need deprovisioning or require attention to security compliance. It makes it much easier to track who has access to what, and shows us how we can strengthen our overall security.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find there are too many emails going to the wrong department. For example, i get notified to deprovision folks from AWS but I do not have access to those AWS administrative features; thats our head of security's job.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's easy to forget to deprovision an account once an employee has departed. Vanta lets us know immediately.
Vanta Checks All the Boxes, as it helps me check all the boxes
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta has a very intuitive interface and provides very directed feedback for addressing issues.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not everything is doable via the UI and more often than not, I have to reach out to their (incredibly helpful and friendly) customer service team.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Vanta to be in compliance for our SOC2 Type 2 certification.
Great security software, getting our company across the SOC2 finish line!
What do you like best about the product?
Constant monitoring of our key services in the cloud allows our engineering team to rapidly identify areas that need to be worked on and triage issues identified by Vanta. Vanta gives us peace of mind when going in for critical review periods, such as the SOC2 audit. Over time we have come to rely on VANTA for our core security needs as the company grows.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's not much I dislike about Vanta. Anytime we have faced issues using the software, the support from Vanta has been quick and effective at answering any of our questions. It's really a software enjoyed by both our leader ship as well as our engineering team.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta is enabling us to get closer to SOC2 compliance. We have immediately realized benefits by saving countless developer hours per week when it comes to both identifying and tackling security vulnerabilities in our cloud infrastructure.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would highly recommend taking advantage of cloud infrastructure monitoring. Our company predominantly uses AWS, and Vanta has been great for ensuring no vulnerabilities that may compromise our cloud security.
