Vanta for Healthcare Technology
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta keeps the client organization on target and organized. Vanta is best used with a project manager to keep the company focused and on target. Vanta uses a 1st level manager for the initial training and compliance issues. Vanta uses a 2nd level manager to complete the project. Vanta will also recommend various auditors but will not allow your company to undergo the audit until the company is ready. The company can interview the auditor candidates and make the final selection of the auditor. Be aware that after the first Type1/2 audit is complete, the company can always change auditors. Vanta did prepare us for the audit and made the audit as minimally painful as possible. Obviously, for the first audit, there may be considerable anxiety, but the Vanta staff did give us the confidence to make it through the audit successfully.
What do you dislike about the product?
Vanta is a well-oiled machine. I have nothing that I dislike about Vanta.

Vanta kept my company organized and focused on obtaining SOC2 audit.
Fast way to get ready for and complete SOC 2 Audit
What do you like best about the product?
Integrates with mulitple tools including our cloud hosting provider, sourcecode management tool, project management, identity provider and many more. Out of the box policy templates of very high quality, and automated monitoring. It was very easy and efficient to get certified, and we obtained certification with high quality and automation.
What do you dislike about the product?
Ease of use and navigation can be improved. Not so efficient search. Could have better on-boarding and offboarding tasks granularity and better groups administration.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We signed up with Vanta to complete our SOC 2 type 1 and type 2 certifications. We completed the type 1 in 3 months, and tyoe 2 in 7 months.
Streamlines the compliance process
What do you like best about the product?
Streamlines collection of evidence, checklist of compliance items to common frameworks and standards
What do you dislike about the product?
Not intuitive in the beginning, UX, limited integration options to various apps/playforms
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automating collection of evidence to demonstrate compliance
Best in the business
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta features an intuative interface, great controls and policy templates to get started. Meters which show your completion among several compliance standards helps motivate completion. Integration with a variety of cloud vendors is great and uniquely Vanta tailors its monitors to your cloud, so if your on GCP all the controls map to GCP, not all clouds, which makes life easier. Also, unlike compeditors, Vanta has a great risk management module built in.
What do you dislike about the product?
Thats a hard one, Vanta is head and shoulders above the competition. My only nit-pick might be that I'd like to create my own custom monitors... the platform has a good API and you can upload your own evidence but thats not the same as a "monitor" which continiously updates with your readiness status. But I'm also told this feature is coming in the future.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta is a solid, easy-to-use GRC platform with a lot of automation baked in with no effort to deploy and a good set of partners for setting up your audit. Unified mapping among multiple compliance frameworks helps reduce future effort.
Easy compliance automation
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta has a nice prescriptive and automated approach to SOC 2 and HIPAA compliance but also allows for custom frameworks and various escape hatches out of their happy path if you need to implement custom checklists and controls.
What do you dislike about the product?
It takes a bit of learning to understand how to implement the customizations. If you walk off the happy path, there's extra work to do, and things get a little less automated. Still, a mostly easy-to-use platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are a digital health startup, so we're subject to HIPAA and HITRUST controls and have to maintain high compliance to satisfy our customers' requirements. Vanta allows us to automate many of the recurring tasks we might otherwise need to do, and helps to make sure that nothing falls through the cracks when employees are onboarding, offboarding, or going about their monthly and annual cycles.
Compliance made easy!
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta has great policy templates for an organization to start its compliance journey. The integrations are the key to success, eliminating 90% of repetitive manual tasks for us. The monitors ensure that we remain compliant. The auditor network dramatically simplifies the audit process, as auditors only need to ask about exceptional situations.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's pricey! The ability to have clickable links in custom checklist tasks would be great.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The company needed to improve its compliance posture. Vanta helped organize all elements of the compliance process, including policies and controls and ensured all systems were compliant.
Happy customer for 3+ years
What do you like best about the product?
SOC2 is an industry standard, though until Vanta there wasn't a standard way of getting it. We found immense value in closing deals by offering up our SOC2 stamp of approval. Additionally, as a growing company, it has been vital to ensure we're keeping and monitoring best practices internally.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's not much bad to say. The solution truly works as stated. The biggest issue we are running into is that as the product suite grows and we get more excited about new products to take advantage of, we are finding ourselves needing a person to actually own the Vanta platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Vanta to keep our internal security in check, ensure all new hires undergo the appropriate training, and understand why certain security tactics are essential. We also appreciate the SOC2 stamp of approval Vanta gives us, which helps us in sales.
