Organized and Automated Security Auditing Platform
What do you like best about the product?
The best part of Vanta are the automated system control features that constantly monitor your system and provide you alerts when you need to take action. This helps us stay on top of security systems.
What do you dislike about the product?
Vanta does not have some features, including policy monitoring yet. I'd love to see Vanta help with further detailed automation to remind you of relevant action steps in your specific policies.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
HIPAA monitoring, SOC2 Monitoring, Risk Analysis, Security Control Monitoring
Excellent experience with Vanta
What do you like best about the product?
Our account manager, Jackie, has been absolutely amazing. During our weekly meetings, she makes sure that we are up to speed on the Vanta systems and are well prepared for our audit. The Vanta controls are well laid out and easy to implement.
What do you dislike about the product?
As with any system, there is a bit of a learning curve.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were looking to become SOC2 certified and have a system help us coordinate all the moving parts in order to successfully pass an audit.
Finally - A Step-by-step Plan and Tracking for Compliance
What do you like best about the product?
A Centralized hub for tracking compliance
What do you dislike about the product?
Software has some missing features still
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Previously, we knew that we needed to be SOC2 compliant, we felt extremely confident in our security practices, but we had no idea where to start on the certification. Auditors always said "since we're auditing you, we can't tell you what to do as that is a conflict of interest." Vanta finally gave us a blueprint, a place to store all of our compliance-related information, and the automation to take a significant portion of it out of our hands. Vanta truly provided clarity to a directionless process and industry.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Meet with their competitors, choose the best product and service for you and your organization. Make sure you fully understand what Vanta will and will not do. Finally, understand that obtaining SOC2 compliance is a very significant lift. Vanta helps, but that doesn't mean that it's all "easy" or entirely "automated."
Great Tool for SOC2 Preparedness

Great actionable insights on what needs to be resolved before and during the SOC2 audit

Some explanations are vague and lack of integrations with the software tools we use

SOC2 compliance readiness
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great overall tool for small to mid sized business SOC2 compliance
Using Vanta as a tool for ongoing SOC 2 compliance.
What do you like best about the product?
The best aspect of using Vanta is how integrates with current services being used (like Azure) and identifies the important steps/items to be addressed for ensuring a quality system in place for all policies and procedures.
In addition, the step by step walk-through related to 'fixing' any outstanding items identified. Also, the automated process of continual monitoring and notifications allow for a very rapid identification, process initiation, and resolution of issues.

What do you dislike about the product?
Although Vanta integrates with some main services (like Azure, AWS, etc.), there are items related to the overall process and expectations of what the auditor will need that are not included within the Vanta app/system. Unfortunately, there is no assigned storage, or availability to link to 3rd party storage (like OneDrive, FTP, etc.) for those additional items to be easily shared with an Auditor.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using the Vanta tool to solve all our requirements to be SOC 2 compliant; not only as a one time snap shot, but an ongoing endeavor. This concept of continuous monitoring and notification for immediate fixes of issues and all related data being captured and avialble for an auditor streamlines the annual SOC 2 audit process which is expected to greatly reduce future time spent in preparations; as well as incurring a reduced price from the auditor for having access to a tool which shortens their required time and effort in gathering data for the final report.
Utilizing the supplied templates for policies allow for a very comprehensive policy creation and ensures that even the average individual with little technical writing skills can still achieve quality and thorough policies.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
The personal interaction and support is exceptional. Any and all questions are welcome and all aspects of using the tool are assisted with as needed. Your assigned support will happily schedule weekly meeting to review all progress, and emails sent between meetings are responded to promptly.

What do you dislike about the product?
- The built in policy generator / functionality could use to some updating. Would love to see the default templates updated, and better support for custom content.
- Would also like to see the policies mostly in Markdown.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are working towards our SOC II Type 2 Audit - We have been able to do this with a very small engineering team because of the help we get from the Vanta platform.
SOC2 certification
What do you like best about the product?
We decided to choose a partner that would provide tools to automate a significant amount of the tasks and controls to be implemented. Reducing the number of manual tasks would ensure reliability in the implementation and would allow timely completion. Vanta provides a high level of automation, allowing the process to be completed smoothly.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is not much to dislike, other than a better organization of the user interface.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Obtaining SOC2 certification in a timely way. We were able to complete the process within the deadline.
Makes SOC 2 Much Easier.
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta is the right balance of monitoring, alerting, and tracking to make it easy to meet SOC 2 Type 1 and 2 requirements. You can choose to use all of their features or some of their features with no pain. Their SSO platform makes it easy to monitor employee computers, servers, and SLA's.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it appears that the people designing this have never had to manage compliance in real life based on density or placement of information. However, they are extremely responsive to feedback and continue to improve their designs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SOC 2 Type 1 & 2 Compliance for employee software, hardware tracking, server tracking, internal vulnerability tracking and SLA for vulnerabilities.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
They integrate really nicely with Amazon. If you run your own metal, it will take a little bit more work to get everything dialed in, but its probably still worth it.
Very useful to setup security process within your entire organization
What do you like best about the product?
Onboarding & Vanta Agent (MacOS)
Security Checklist/Monitoring
Security Checklist/Monitoring
What do you dislike about the product?
Coverage for Google Cloud Platform is not as good as I would like
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Excellent guidance to start implementing stronger security processes, both on technical and organisational aspects. It makes us much more confident about the way we operate by giving a lot of visibility and allow quick response time and SLA tracking.
SOC 2 audit is in progress, so cannot give a complete feedback on that topic yet.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
I think Vanta is a great tool to start implementing and monitoring security practices in a small organisation as long as your landscape is aligned with the integrated tools.
The one thing to check is the list of tools you use and how aligned it is with Vanta integrations.

User friendly security tool
What do you like best about the product?
The task list is what I like best. It makes it so easy to see what task that needs to be done and how to do them. And on some tasks there is a link to the issue as well. It also shows what tasks are the most urgent and important ones so that we can prioritize without thinking about them. All in all the tool is very easy to use and makes security and compliance feel almost fun.
What do you dislike about the product?
We use the tool to get SOC2. But we would also like if there were other features that would cover our security and compliance. As checking that phones that are using company data are secure. We would also like to have the option to request features that are not in the tool and are not directly connected to compliance, but goes with the functions in the tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problem of not knowing what exactly we need to get SOC2 compliant in an easy and efficient way with a lot of flexibility. Vanta has made it easy to get all actions needed for SOC2 on one place. Now we can fill out tasks, create policies, handle vendors, manage computers and more in one tool.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Vanta is a simple tool for security and compliance. If you are looking for something that is easy to use with a good overview Vanta is the tool for you. The follow-up has been remarkable, and any questions we have has has been welcomed and answered greatly.
