Vanta

Vanta is the leading compliance automation platform, founded in 2018 by Christina Cacioppo after experiencing the manual burden of SOC 2 compliance firsthand at Dropbox. The company has grown to serve over 12,000 customers and raised $504 million in funding at a $4 billion valuation, backed by Sequoia Capital, Y Combinator, and others.

Vanta automates up to 90% of the work required for security and compliance certifications by continuously monitoring an organization's technical environment through 375+ native integrations. The platform supports 35+ frameworks including SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS, GDPR, FedRAMP, and DORA, with automated evidence collection, policy management, and employee training built in.

At RSAC 2026 (March), Vanta launched AI-powered GRC agents that work around the clock to collect and review compliance evidence, surface risks, and flag issues without manual intervention. The same update introduced expanded enterprise controls and privacy automation tools, signaling a push toward fully autonomous compliance workflows.

Beyond initial certification, Vanta provides continuous compliance monitoring, a Trust Center for sharing security posture with prospects, AI-powered security questionnaire automation, and vendor risk management. The platform is designed to scale from startup first-audit through enterprise multi-framework programs.

Four tiers: Essentials, Plus, Professional, Enterprise. Starting around $10K/year for Essentials based on third-party reports. Additional frameworks approximately $5K each. Annual contracts standard. Pricing not publicly listed. Requires sales demo for personalized quote.
