Vanta is an invaluable tool for achieving compliance for small companies
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta distills the rather daunting task of compliance into a manageable set of controls with automated tracking, templates, and reminders. For a 10 person company, compliance appeared to be a difficult task, but Vanta helped us achieve and maintain SOC 2 compliance without too much trouble.
What do you dislike about the product?
Working with a third party auditor, while necessary, was frustrating at times due to their lack of understanding how Vanta worked or mismatched assumptions on how the audit process worked. We occasionally ran into instances where we'd disabled controls or added evicdence to a particular control that the auditor couldn't see or understand, leading to long email exchanges.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our customers desire that we maintain SOC 2 compliance for our SaaS application. Vanta helped us achieve and maintain that compliance.

What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing is a bit steep for smaller companies. I wish they had a more affordable option for startups just getting started with compliance.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta's handling all the SOC 2 compliance stuff we used to struggle with. It's freed up so much of our time - now we can focus on actually running our business instead of drowning in paperwork.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
Great experience, wish we found Vanta years ago
What do you like best about the product?
We love the automated AWS controls which proactively alert us to security vulnerabiblities in our architecture which we would have not have found otherwise. The trust centre is excellent for reassuring our customers that we have a secure and robust infosec capability which also helps with RFPs. The automation of policy signoff for staff is very good for demonstrating compliance. We have our next major ISO audit later in the year and we hope the investment in Vanta will make that a lot simpler for our auditor.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a lot of work to set the platform up and the control based architecture took some getting used to but now we have this setup it's working well. The dashboards can be quite noisy and it would be better if there were an easier way to flag controls as not relevant,

ISO:27001 and GDPR compliance

Vanta is the guru for SOC 2
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta breaks down a framework's controls into actionable items, allowing my team to divide and conquer. It is the master dashboard for access, security, and personnel management that our IT team needs. We are able to connect to all of our significant platforms to get real-time audits on security, access, and maintenance decisions. Beyond receiving our certification, our IT team will continue to use this platform. This is a go-to for a startup company.
What do you dislike about the product?
Organizing people in Vanta can be a pain. If you use shared mailboxes or alternative mailbox solutions for users who may need more than one email, tracking these items out of scope can become laborious.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Auditing our platforms for SOC 2 certification.
