Vanta has been very helpful helping us achieve and maintain SOC2 compliance
What do you like best about the product?
The Vanta product offering and the team have been very helpful to us, starting with creating policies, helping us decide what to monitor and how to monitor it, and continuing with the dashboards they provide that ensure we remain in compliance within our SLAs. The team has also been very responsive to requests and feedback.
What do you dislike about the product?
The most painful part of the process to me has been doing an adequate job of risk assessment. This seems to be a hard problem in general, and the Vanta tool was not much help. If there was some sort of industry-specific "cookbook," that would be extremely useful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were trying to solve the problem of achieving SOC2 compliance and then remaining compliant without having to spend a large amount of human time doing so. Goal achieved.

SOC 2 Compliance with a lot of help!
What do you like best about the product?
The templates were probably the most helpful part for me. There are many lengthy documents that are required for SOC 2 compliance and having a solid place to start from was incredibly helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only downside I see has to do with specific tests related to some of the more complex features of AWS. I generally have to go to a third party to get those resolved, but I have to admit that is due more the complexity of AWS than it is Vanta.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed to become SOC 2 Type 2 compliance to grow our company and attract larger clients. So far this has been a huge boon and we are crowing about our success on our website and marketing materials.
Vanta takes the guess-work out of compliance
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta's software makes it very easy to enforce security policies through out our organization in a way that doesnt feel overbearing. It strikes the right balance between full-automation and prompted human-intervention when alerting for exceptions. Vanta has also been quote helpful for us as a small business in directing toward the types of policies and standards we should adopt to meet industry compliance standards.
What do you dislike about the product?
As with any growing software interface, Vanta is continuously adding features and making improvements. This can mean re-learning certain navigation and site features from time to time as they move around.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta helps keep us SOC2 and HIPAA compliant without paying a full-time consultant or employee to manage the somewhat menial check-ins on security required. They have also acted as a guide for us in both setting appropriate security standards and controls, as well as finding top-class auditors to help with certifications.
Vanta was the only way we got our SOC 2 certification!
What do you like best about the product?
They integrate with all of the tools and systems we use. Their customer support is friendly, and efficient, and helped us with all the technical questions we had.
What do you dislike about the product?
SOC 2 as a whole doesn't seem to do much for data security. Sure we have to follow all of these rules that make it seem like our customer's data is more secure but in reality, the SOC 2 framework doesn't prevent massive breaches in security from occuring.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta allows us to become SOC 2 compliant in a time-efficient and reliable way. Their tool makes understanding the scope of SOC 2 a breeze and their relationships with auditors allows us to get he best deal
Making Standards easy
What do you like best about the product?
I like that each Standard is individualized and explained. Many requirements have at least templates or solid working examples of how to meet them. It took the anxiety and pressure of being brand new to several standards off our hands. We could follow the guidelines easily and get our Standard certifications quickly and efficiently. Our AM and Vanta Support are quick and concise when we have questions.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to see a few more integration options, including being able to have some mapping options. For example, being able to map Jira priority. Also, having the ability to manage our Vendors within Vanta better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Getting together all the evidence tests and having a comprehensive platform for our audits to navigate easily. Honestly, this past year has made our audits smoother and more accessible. No more excels and drop boxes!
Automation and Visibility Made a Huge Impact
What do you like best about the product?
We have loved how easy implementation has been. Setting up policies, training, integrations, etc. has been so easy and not as time consuming as other platforms. We are also loving the Vanta Agent. It allows us to make sure our IT partner is doing what they say they're doing so we can pass or audit.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only dislike we have so far is importing our policies because the formatting isn't matching up. It was an easy fix, though. We also struggled with understanding groups in the platform. Once we figured out how to set up and assign them to policies/training, it made more sense.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We had a very manual process to complete our SOC audit in previous years. Vanta has automated those process, including the tracking piece so we are more prepared and can resolve issues immediately.
An excellent partner for SOC 2 Certification
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta is a very well-designed system with high-quality customer support and consulting services that helped us achieve SOC 2 certification in record time. The software is easy to use and intuitive, and everything you need to know and do is included. The integrations with other systems make the whole process much easier and transparent. For us the integration with Azure and Jira were particularly useful. Vanta's customer success team and our assigned auditors we great, supporting us and helping us to get our organization audit ready.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing to dislike, Vanta works great. Every part of the system and service is excellent.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta has helped us get certified in record time. This was essential for us because of a customer-driven requirement to be certified which was holding up cash flow. For us, certification was mission-critical, and Vanta came through for us.
Enables fast SOC2 compliance!
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta quickly helped us get our SOC2 audit report by connecting our services and employees and provided the tasks needed. For the first audit they helped us get all the policies and routines in place! Its also great for keeping track of all compliance and making sure we follow our security controls. Makes security compliance life easier =)
The CSM team has been great at following up on progress and coming with tips and trix.

What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing much. Had had some issues with the local installation of the Vanta agent on employees' computers, but got fast help from the support team.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helped us get our first SOC2 Audit report. Helps us stay compliant with minimal manual input.
Vanta mapped our way to HIPAA compliance
What do you like best about the product?
Monitoring of our infrastructure. List of tests that need to be completed to reach compliance.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is no guidance on standards to use for specific policies. Ideally, policies would be filled out as an onboarding exercise.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Paving the way for us to reach compliance.
Easy to use - instantly provides an overview of how to get compliant with SOC II, GDPR and more.
What do you like best about the product?
Getting an overview of all the tasks you need to do to get certified can be daunting. Vanta connects to your key systems, analyses where you are right now and provides simple guides and advice on everything from policies to documents you need to put in place to get compliant. Realtime monitoring, vulnerability scans, integrations to cloud systems is just a few of the other features I think are well done with Vanta. Finally, a system that makes it easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
Would be great with even more integrations of 3rd parties. Vanta connects to a key set of vendors, but there are always multiple systems you are using which you cannot connect easily. Maybe a feature to nominate new integrations they can consider?
