Vanta is a private trust management and GRC software company focused on helping organizations earn and prove trust through automation. Its agentic trust platform brings compliance, risk, audit readiness, and customer-facing trust workflows into a single system, reducing reliance on spreadsheets, point tools, and point-in-time reviews.
The platform is designed to help businesses automate evidence collection, continuously monitor controls, manage internal and third-party risk, and share proof of security posture with customers and auditors. Vanta positions AI as a core layer across the platform, extending its role from task assistance to workflow execution across compliance, risk, security reviews, and trust operations.
Offerings, Capabilities, and Integrations
Vanta’s platform spans compliance automation, continuous controls monitoring, risk operations, access and personnel governance, audit collaboration, and customer trust workflows. Its capabilities are built to keep security and compliance programs active year-round rather than centered on periodic audits or manual review cycles.
A major part of Vanta’s value proposition is connectivity and automation. The platform integrates with more than 400 tools across cloud, identity, HR, IT, version control, procurement, and collaboration systems, and it supports custom workflow extension through the Vanta API. It also supports major cloud environments including AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform, giving teams a unified way to collect evidence, monitor posture, route actions, and report on trust programs at scale.
