SoC2 done right
What do you like best about the product?
SoC2 compliance is such a pain, but Vanta makes it so easy. The dashboard to track your progress, the integrations with your cloud services -- awesome stuff.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI can be a little confusing, but I don't blame them. Compliance info is hard to make pretty looking, and I think they're doing a great job. Maybe just make it a little less noisy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SoC2 Type II.
Vanta helped our small startup scale
What do you like best about the product?
As a small company, a lot of our staff wear many hats in the organization. Vanta helped provide a single location of all tasks and items to complete for the audit, but they also aided in policy and document generation for our company.
What do you dislike about the product?
Before signing up to being the process to get your organization ready for a SOCII audit, it was a bit unclear on what types of things would be required from the business to be in audit compliance. Items that require investment from the company (i.e., devices, password managers, background checks, etc.). It would be good to have at least a roadmap or expected investment guide to plan ahead of time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are situating our business to undergo a SOCII audit. We have enjoyed being able to generate policy documents directly in Vanta. For a small company, sometimes these documents did not exist prior, so rather than starting from scratch, Vanta could assist with some pre-defined templates to get going.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take an inventory assessment of your current organization setup and controls to have an idea of the level of effort to orient your business for a SOCII audit
Great ROI for removing a lot of security-based administrative burden
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta allows our company to reduce the heavy administrative burden of security reporting and tracking - leaving our company to be on top of our security posture and set up to succeed against various security audits that our organisation is faced with.
What do you dislike about the product?
Would be improved if many of the manual tasks flagged in Vanta were something that it could automate!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SOC2 Compliance and tracking. Tracking our security documentation and software in a faster way.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Measure up how much time is taken when trying to keep compliant to the various security standards. There is a bit of upfront work with Vanta required to make the whole setup usable - but the benefits come from it's longer-term usage against security standards that take a while.
Took the pain out of compliance for SOC 2 Type I
What do you like best about the product?
We went into this process expecting the worst - vendors we've engaged in the past overpromise and under-deliver, customer service doesn't exists. Quite the opposite with Vanta, they delivered exactly what they said they would, on time, on budget.
What do you dislike about the product?
Really can't complain - we had a job to do: Attain SOC 2 Type I compliance, they helped us get it done.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Security and privacy compliance certification.
Fantastic for SOC 2 and HIPAA Compliance
What do you like best about the product?
We needed to become compliant quickly and Vanta was a lifesaver. So much easier and faster than any other path we found.
What do you dislike about the product?
When we first signed up in 2020 there were some UI flows that were hard to use. But they have been very receptive to feedback and have made big strides in making the UI easy to use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Getting compliant for SOC 2 and HIPAA
Vanta helped accelerate our audit
What do you like best about the product?
The need to gets things complete off of the automated tasks helps keep you in compliance. Knowing that all of your items are good to go helps give a busy CEO/CTO peace of mind.
What do you dislike about the product?
Setup is tedious and can take quite a lot of time. Evidence collection wasn't built in previously and is still a bit hard to navigate. Depending on the auditor you use, you may still be spending quite a lot of time keeping compliant.
There are still some things that Vanta doesn't do well on the evidence collection side. In fact, we had to navigate a few exceptions because Vanta reported some items incorrectly.
This doesn't automate 100% of your SOC 2 requirements but still does a fairly good job.

SOC 2 Type 2 audit
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just keep in mind that SOC 2 is not a certificate nor is it a compliance requirement, it is an audit. Audits help surface what you could be doing better in your organization and you can tweak your controls as you wish.
Vanta is not an auditor and can sometimes get tricky if your auditor isn't really well versed with Vanta (even though the auditor was recommended to me by Vanta).

Easy to use and incredible integrations
What do you like best about the product?
At Sleuth, we found Vanta to be an amazingly straight-forward way to pursue our SOC2. If you're running a SaaS business like ours, Vanta's integrations with AWS, Google, and all our other providers meant that performing control checks was automated and easy. We were anticipating many months of work to get our SOC2, and Vanta cut down our expected effort by an order of magnitude.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't remember having any complaints, everything seemed great. The team was very supportive and responsive, and we've had an excellent experience.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our primary goal was seeking a SOC2 for our customers, however we discovered a number of benefits in terms of ongoing security review automation and policy templates that made scaling the HR side super easy.
It is a good tool to start the SOC 2 audit
What do you like best about the product?
The agent that is installed on the computer gives a very useful overview to review important aspects regarding the safety of the company, provides the necessary requirements to take into account before going to the SOC 2 audit, in addition to providing some advantages in tools security you require to comply with SOC2
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like some reports to be a little more detailed, and to be able to customize the inspection depending on the size or characteristics of the company, for example for startups
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
we improve our policies
We review our entire work team and correct possible issues with the security before they are exploited
It allows us to gather what is necessary to present a SOC2 audit

Good tool, I recommend it before going to a security audit
Vanta helped us get to SOC2 Type2 quickly
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta's approach to automation as a default really impressed us. Their default way of ensuring compliance is to automate the compliance check with very minimal work on your part, often just integrating them with your cloud service, hr system or the like. That allowed us to minimize the amount of work we had to build a bespoke SOC2 system and let our engineers focus on building end customer value while still ensuring we had the correct controls in place to handle our customer's data in a secure way.
What do you dislike about the product?
We've run into a number of technical issues, some of which have been slow to resolve. We've also noticed that when you don't want to achieve compliance the exact way that Vanta has automated the check, it can be difficult to get the system setup for that. For an example of the latter, we had very good tagging but Vanta couldn't use our existing cloud tags, we had to go in and add an additional tag to every resource in question.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We engaged with Vanta to minimize the upfront and ongoing costs of getting to and staying SOC2 compliant. We achieved SOC2 Type 2 in a very short amount of time compared to what it would have taken doing it on our own.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking at getting SOC2 for the first time, Vanta should be a platform you consider helping you on your journey.
