Streamlined our compliance and boosted trust with automation and transparency.
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta has significantly reduced the manual burden of audits by automating evidence collection and mapping controls across multiple frameworks. Its integrations provide real-time visibility, and the Trust Center simplifies sharing security posture with customers. The platform has helped us scale compliance confidently while enabling continuous improvement.
What do you dislike about the product?
While Vanta simplifies core compliance tasks, we’d like to see deeper remediation guidance, more intuitive support for vendor risk tracking, and expanded metrics for executive reporting. Enhancing cross-framework mapping and offering better controls for AI policy governance would also increase its long-term value.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta helped us move away from scattered, manual compliance tasks and brought everything into one place. It automates evidence collection, keeps us continuously audit-ready, and gives our customers real-time visibility into our security posture. That’s a big win for trust. It also frees up my team to focus on higher-value security and AI governance work instead of chasing screenshots and spreadsheets.

Initially seems expensive, but the savings in time and money are massive
What do you like best about the product?
The organisation of all of my certification control data, the integrations to AWS, Google Workspace etc to automate a lot of the data collection, and the huge pool of personalisable templates. Then the pool of auditors who know Vanta and can give far more reasonably priced audits due to the huge time saving for them. I've been able to do our ISO 27001 certification in FAR less time than I otherwise would have been able to.
What do you dislike about the product?
The initial onboarding process is a little prescriptive and still shows as not complete even though I've completed three certifications using Vanta now. Some of the templates have some issues and I haven't heard back from my reporting these problems. But overall not much.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're a small startup with limited resources and money, and we were quoted a very large figure of money to add to our existing PCI DSS certification ISO 27001 and SOC 2. For less than the cost of just the gap analysis from one provider, we've paid for all certifications and ongoing usage of Vanta. I actually couldn't imagine handling compliance without it now.
A really useful tool
What do you like best about the product?
It's a really need compliance tool, clearly setting out the tasks that need completing to attest compliance. The Trust Center is a valuable add-on to demonstrate our commitment to compliance to customers.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the functionalities are not user friendly. E.g. rolling out training was buried in the personnel default group settings
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We get asked a lot of questions about our security and privacy compliance from customers. Vanta has enabled us to achieve compliance and demonstrate it with ease.
Compliance aggregation simplified
What do you like best about the product?
The vast range of vendor products that Vanta has built integrations with. The dashboard and UI is incredibly straight forward. Very well built product. Easy for our ops and IT teams to implement.
What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing is not transparent. When signing up to SaaS platforms or cloud vendors, pricing transparency makes things move a lot faster.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ensuring our business meets compliance standards with automated updates and notifications.
Vanta - Fast track to SOC compliance
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate the psychology behind Vanta's platform. We continuously strive to reach the 100% progress bar at all times! We love the constant notifications when tests fail, and that helps us remediate them right away!
What do you dislike about the product?
Getting set up with Vanta to start was a bit challenging. It seemed to be a challenge getting the team to understand how our business operates and what was the best way to tackle SOC compliance with how we operate as a business.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Staying in compliance and remediating tests that determine if we are in compliance or not!
Vanta for SOC2
What do you like best about the product?
We used Vanta to help us get ready for our SOC2 audit. Super easy to use and had a ton of out of the box policies and tests we could adapt to our environment. We also tried out their access review feature and loved it!
What do you dislike about the product?
Not all of our vendors integrated with the platform so we did have to do some manual work on that end.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were overwhelmed with where to start for our SOC2 audit and Vanta helped aggregate everything in one place.
Vanta Review
What do you like best about the product?
The implementations made with different vendors and the many types of controls that have been mapped out.
What do you dislike about the product?
A bit to standardised and not adaptable to my own needs. Just being able to turn of controls is not sufficient, should be more adaptable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automating tests and makeing it simpler to guide other employees to compliance.
More than satisfied with platform, could be improved in slight ways
What do you like best about the product?
Frameworks all in one place and take tasks from one framework and apply it to other frameworks if the item is the same and is needed for another audit. This is extremely insightful to have an idea of being done with SOC2 is already 75% done with HIPAA, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
Audit sections (e.g. Frameworks) are difficult to navigate when tasks are not applicable to certain aspects of the business. There are several areas to toggle back and forth between, and despite several tasks being related to the same item (e.g. performance evaluations), deactivating one doesn't deactivate the rest, even though those items are related/the same throughout the framework. This makes it challenging to get a clear snapshot of "how done are we?" with the framework completion status and makes for a lot of added individual steps.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Single document repository and audit framework platform. We also use Vanta's recommended vendors for SOC2.
Simplified our SOC2 dramatically
What do you like best about the product?
It has great integrations with many of our key providers that makes completing SOC2 tests way easier. The interface is relatively straightforward and the setup didn't take too long.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's not that intuitive to navigate the different menus and the terminology. It takes some time to learn.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Vanta to manage our SOC 2 type 1 and type 2 process. It shows how we are controlling for risks across our business and systems.
Streamlined Compliance and Continuous Monitoring Made Easy
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta integrates seamlessly with our existing systems, offering real-time visibility into our security posture. The intuitive dashboard, automated evidence collection, and proactive reminders ensure we stay audit-ready without constant manual effort. Their customer support is also incredibly responsive and knowledgeable.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some integrations could offer deeper customization or more granular controls, and occasionally, documentation updates lag behind feature changes. However, these are minor compared to the overall value Vanta delivers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta is solving the complexity and time-consuming nature of maintaining compliance with security frameworks like SOC 2, ISO 27001, and GDPR. Before Vanta, gathering audit evidence, tracking security controls, and ensuring continuous compliance required significant manual effort and coordination across teams. With Vanta, we benefit from automation, centralized monitoring, and real-time alerts, which reduce audit prep time and allow our security team to focus more on strategic initiatives rather than administrative tasks. It also gives us greater confidence when responding to vendor security assessments and customer trust inquiries.
