Lead Paralegal. Former Admin in Vanta to assist with ISO/SOC.
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to compile information and steps needed for ISO into one platform

The verbiage that fields are called. For example "TESTS" would be more appropriately labeled as "Action Items".
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaboration between team members to ensure compliance with audit requirements.
Consider Contract Flexibility Before Commitment
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate using Vanta for prepping for our ISO 27001 certification, monitoring security, and managing compliance across our organization. Our goal was to ensure that our vulnerability management was top-notch and automate as much of the processes as possible. From what I have heard, the setup process was simple, as there were no issues reported from our IT team.
What do you dislike about the product?
I am frustrated with Vanta's contract management and customer relationship approach. After we decided that ISO 27001 wasn't a priority anymore, we contacted them to discuss terminating our contract early. Unfortunately, there isn't a clause for early termination, and we were locked into a 3-year commitment. Vanta was inflexible, sticking strictly to contract terms without considering the actual value being received. They offered to move to another program, but it didn't fit our needs. Instead of working together at a reasonable, human level, it felt very transactional rather than partnership-driven. I advise others to consider future IT roadmap changes before locking into a long, expensive contract with Vanta.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I find Vanta automates security and compliance management, helping us prepare for ISO 27001 and improve vulnerability management across our organization.
Great for Simplifying Compliance, But Would Benefit From Better User Education for Novices
What do you like best about the product?
Takes (most of) the stress out of getting started on your compliance and audit journey.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's a relatively intuitive program for something that is so multi-faceted and complex as compliance. However, there's still an opportunity to improve user education in a way that doesn't rely on people in APAC having to join webinars at 2am.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
we didn't know where to start and weren't thrilled at the crazy expense of using an external compliance consultant.
"Informative and Helpful, but Process Can Be Overwhelming"
What do you like best about the product?
What I really like about Vanta is the overall layout and the way information is organized throughout the platform. It’s intuitive and easy to navigate, which makes finding what I need fast and straightforward. I also appreciate how Vanta doesn’t just flag issues but provides clear, actionable tips on how to resolve them. The guidance feels practical and helps our team stay on top of compliance tasks without unnecessary confusion.
What do you dislike about the product?
One thing I find challenging about Vanta is that the platform can sometimes feel overwhelming. With so much information and so many features, it can be confusing at times to know exactly where to find specific details or tools. A more streamlined navigation or clearer pathways to key information could make it easier to use efficiently.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta helps us achieve and maintain SOC 2 certification, which provides verified proof of our security practices. This not only ensures that our systems and processes meet high standards, but also boosts our credibility with clients and partners by demonstrating that we take security seriously.
Effortless Compliance and a Truly Great Experience with Vanta

What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, none! It's been a really great experience. It's very popular for a reason.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We need to be compliant for the businesses we serve, and Vanta streamlines that process.
User-Friendly and Comprehensive, But Needs Better Audit-Ready Templates
What do you like best about the product?
The software is user-friendly and comprehensive. It allows me to allocate tasks to other staff members easily and provides a thorough approval process. It is also well-known among major customers.
What do you dislike about the product?
It appears that there is still a noticeable gap between the Vanta policy templates and those that are truly audit-ready.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Security and compliance are important, with SOC 2 in place and plans to meet additional requirements in the future.
Vanta Simplifies Compliance, But Needs More Flexibility and Robust Integrations
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta makes compliance management actually manageable. The automation around evidence collection, integrations with AWS, GitHub, and HR systems, and the continuous monitoring significantly reduce manual effort.
What do you dislike about the product?
The integrations, while extensive, can sometimes be brittle or slow to update when underlying systems change. Customization options for controls and evidence collection could be more flexible. Reporting is functional but limited if you want deeper analytics or export options.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta streamlines our SOC 2 compliance process by automating evidence collection, tracking controls, and maintaining continuous monitoring. It eliminates the need for manual spreadsheets and ad-hoc document gathering, which saves a huge amount of time during audits. Having everything centralized also improves visibility across the team and ensures we stay audit-ready year-round, not just before deadlines.
Streamlined Compliance with Comprehensive Automation
What do you like best about the product?
I've been using Vanta for a year to help manage my clients' compliance journeys, and it has been an amazing experience. I first learned about Vanta on LinkedIn, where it was praised as the next big thing in compliance management. After researching other options, Vanta stood out as unbeatable. One of the major strengths of Vanta is the seamless setup process, facilitated by the Vanta Academy and an interactive guide that simplifies onboarding. The home page effectively organizes tasks with detailed guides on how to perform them, enhancing user-friendliness. Vanta has been instrumental in streamlining various complex processes. It has centralized our compliance management tasks into a single platform, significantly reducing the need for a large team and minimizing manual workloads. The platform excels in automating the vendor security assessment process, which previously required manual tracking of questionnaires, NDA approvals, and document submissions. Additionally, features like automated policy tracking, vendor security assessments, and real-time audit readiness have been particularly useful. Vanta's integration with Dreta for automating evidence collection and tracking adds another layer of efficiency to our operations. The comprehensive automation, ease of client management on a single platform, and continuous monitoring for audit readiness with minimal effort are compelling reasons for me to consider purchasing Vanta again.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find that the platform can sometimes feel a bit slow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Vanta to manage compliance on one platform, automating processes like vendor security assessments and policy tracking, reducing manual effort and streamlining operations.

Centralized Compliance Monitoring Makes Audits a Breeze
What do you like best about the product?
Having a centralized location to monitor our compliance posture in real time, as well as to keep all of our policies and documentation organized and easily accessible, has been extremely helpful. It makes preparing for audits and handling vendor assessments significantly more manageable.
What do you dislike about the product?
Vanta poses considerable difficulties when handling intricate HR situations, especially in cases involving the rehiring of employees or managing name changes. These processes introduce operational obstacles that can hinder both compliance efficiency and the accuracy of data.

Vanta changes compliance from a time-consuming, periodic task into a continuous and manageable process. This shift helps LinkSquares achieve its business goals of securing enterprise customers and expanding its operations.
