Hit the ground running with SOC2 and HIPAA
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta's policy generator really saved our small team a lot of time at the beginning, to cover all our bases for SOC2 and HIPAA, especially as we're not experts in writing policies. It provides a solid foundation with a lot of options and the ability to fully customize them as needed. I also find the email notifications regarding inventory items deviating from our controls really useful, so that I know every day if something needs my attention.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the People's section on managing employees could use some attention. They have been iterating on it (in a positive way) since we started using Vanta, but there's a lot more I'd like to see in that area. The ability to merge accounts, or accounts being part of multiple groups / roles, as this would currently require creating a new group for each set of requirements.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta has brought us a lot of expertise regarding SOC2 and HIPAA that we didn't have on our team, and has saved us a lot of time to become and remain compliant.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you don't have a compliance expert in-house with deep knowledge and understanding of organization processes and requirements for business, infrastructure and application security, and the idea of spending weeks (or months) working through all the requirements, alone or with a consulting firm doesn't appeal to you, then Vanta will take care of all the heavy lifting and guide you through the process and provide auditors most of the evidences they'll need to certify your organization.

Vanta made security a breeze!
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta had a very tech forward platform and their continuous monitoring made going with them a simple decision. As Assembly is now Soc2, Vanta is a key part in our security journey. Their team was also amazingly kind, prompt and helpful every step of the way!
What do you dislike about the product?
I'll let you know when I find something I don't like.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are an HR platform and every time we went out for new business, we'd be asked if we were Soc2 compliant. Not having compliance was a show stopper. Working with Vanta was fast, efficient and now we're winning business left and right thanks to Vanta.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Vanta is a no brainer. They are the best in the game. Why else would they be growing so fast!

Reduces the SOC 2 project management workload significantly
What do you like best about the product?
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.

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.

There are a few other products in this space, but Vanta is so excellent I haven't spent the time to investigate other options. I'd definitely select it again.
Easy to use, save you much time in audit
