Reduces the SOC 2 project management workload significantly

A lot of the admin work involved with SOC 2 is related to project management, and Vanta helps to lighten that workload significantly. Automated monitoring and coverage of a lot of controls, along with its customizable infosec policy templates, helps us to achieve and maintain compliance faster and with less manual work.

The product is pretty solid but there's still room for improvement. For example, some functionality could still be built out a little better to allow for greater flexibility to deal with non-standard environments.

Very easy tracking/maintenance of compliance needs. It is removing lots of work from my plate in generating ongoing screenshots and other documentation for our auditors.
What do you dislike about the product?

We are using Vanta to prepare for and maintain our SOC2 compliance. It has already saved me loads of time with the pre-formatted policies, monitoring, and tracking of the vast majority of my SOC2 needs.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For any company working on their SOC2 compliance, it's a no-brainer purchase.
The Easiest Way to Get Compliant
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta made it simple for us to start the process of getting SOC 2 Type 1 compliant when we were only 6 months old. As a result we feel far ahead of schedule, and 18 months later we're now using Vanta to go for our SOC 2 Type 2.
The product made it incredibly easy to automatically generate the documentation needed for the SOC 2 process. As a new/young company, we were able to just "accept the defaults" and build from there – which saved us a ton of time.
The team at Vanta have also been amazing partners in helping us find and work with our auditors. They have our back from both the software side as well as the process side, and made it easy for us to navigate this process for the first time.

What do you dislike about the product?
The UI can be a bit fiddly and can take more clicks to get where I'd like to go than I'd prefer. They continue to improve the UI frequently, but there is a lot of work left to be done.
I've also found that the Vendor Management / IT Asset Management side of the product is under-developed.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've used Vanta to achieve SOC 2 Type 1 compliance, manage our vendors, and manager our IT assets.
We're now also using Vanta to pursue our SOC 2 Type 2 compliance. We hope to use them for ISO 27001 and other certifications in the future.

Knowing what is needed to complete our SOC2

What do you like best about the product?
We loved the policy generators to help us make sure we are covering all of our bases. And then the gap analysis reports for internal tracking and the option to share reports to prospective and existing clients have been truly valuable.
What do you dislike about the product?
We use a few tools and services that don't integrate with Vanta (at least not yet). We would also love to see better integrated (or even Vanta created) annual required security training for our employees.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We originally signed up with Vanta so that we could help ensure we were following best practices and answering all of the vendor questionnaires that our customers and potential customers send us. We hope to complete our first SOC 2 audit and certification process in the near future as well. Vanta has definitely helped with trust from customers and fulfilling many of their requirements.
Currently in pre-audit for our first soc2 audit and Vanta has made the process super easy.
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta keeps all my tasks in a short list, and makes it super easy to find what I need to work on next.
