Using Vanta as a tool for ongoing SOC 2 compliance.
What do you like best about the product?
The best aspect of using Vanta is how integrates with current services being used (like Azure) and identifies the important steps/items to be addressed for ensuring a quality system in place for all policies and procedures.
In addition, the step by step walk-through related to 'fixing' any outstanding items identified. Also, the automated process of continual monitoring and notifications allow for a very rapid identification, process initiation, and resolution of issues.

What do you dislike about the product?
Although Vanta integrates with some main services (like Azure, AWS, etc.), there are items related to the overall process and expectations of what the auditor will need that are not included within the Vanta app/system. Unfortunately, there is no assigned storage, or availability to link to 3rd party storage (like OneDrive, FTP, etc.) for those additional items to be easily shared with an Auditor.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using the Vanta tool to solve all our requirements to be SOC 2 compliant; not only as a one time snap shot, but an ongoing endeavor. This concept of continuous monitoring and notification for immediate fixes of issues and all related data being captured and avialble for an auditor streamlines the annual SOC 2 audit process which is expected to greatly reduce future time spent in preparations; as well as incurring a reduced price from the auditor for having access to a tool which shortens their required time and effort in gathering data for the final report.
Utilizing the supplied templates for policies allow for a very comprehensive policy creation and ensures that even the average individual with little technical writing skills can still achieve quality and thorough policies.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

We are working towards our SOC II Type 2 Audit - We have been able to do this with a very small engineering team because of the help we get from the Vanta platform.
SOC2 certification
What do you like best about the product?
We decided to choose a partner that would provide tools to automate a significant amount of the tasks and controls to be implemented. Reducing the number of manual tasks would ensure reliability in the implementation and would allow timely completion. Vanta provides a high level of automation, allowing the process to be completed smoothly.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is not much to dislike, other than a better organization of the user interface.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Obtaining SOC2 certification in a timely way. We were able to complete the process within the deadline.
Makes SOC 2 Much Easier.
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta is the right balance of monitoring, alerting, and tracking to make it easy to meet SOC 2 Type 1 and 2 requirements. You can choose to use all of their features or some of their features with no pain. Their SSO platform makes it easy to monitor employee computers, servers, and SLA's.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it appears that the people designing this have never had to manage compliance in real life based on density or placement of information. However, they are extremely responsive to feedback and continue to improve their designs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SOC 2 Type 1 & 2 Compliance for employee software, hardware tracking, server tracking, internal vulnerability tracking and SLA for vulnerabilities.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
They integrate really nicely with Amazon. If you run your own metal, it will take a little bit more work to get everything dialed in, but its probably still worth it.
Very useful to setup security process within your entire organization

Onboarding & Vanta Agent (MacOS)

What do you dislike about the product?
Coverage for Google Cloud Platform is not as good as I would like
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Excellent guidance to start implementing stronger security processes, both on technical and organisational aspects. It makes us much more confident about the way we operate by giving a lot of visibility and allow quick response time and SLA tracking.
SOC 2 audit is in progress, so cannot give a complete feedback on that topic yet.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
I think Vanta is a great tool to start implementing and monitoring security practices in a small organisation as long as your landscape is aligned with the integrated tools.
The one thing to check is the list of tools you use and how aligned it is with Vanta integrations.

User friendly security tool
What do you like best about the product?
The task list is what I like best. It makes it so easy to see what task that needs to be done and how to do them. And on some tasks there is a link to the issue as well. It also shows what tasks are the most urgent and important ones so that we can prioritize without thinking about them. All in all the tool is very easy to use and makes security and compliance feel almost fun.
What do you dislike about the product?
We use the tool to get SOC2. But we would also like if there were other features that would cover our security and compliance. As checking that phones that are using company data are secure. We would also like to have the option to request features that are not in the tool and are not directly connected to compliance, but goes with the functions in the tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problem of not knowing what exactly we need to get SOC2 compliant in an easy and efficient way with a lot of flexibility. Vanta has made it easy to get all actions needed for SOC2 on one place. Now we can fill out tasks, create policies, handle vendors, manage computers and more in one tool.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Vanta is a simple tool for security and compliance. If you are looking for something that is easy to use with a good overview Vanta is the tool for you. The follow-up has been remarkable, and any questions we have has has been welcomed and answered greatly.

Never Going Back
What do you like best about the product?
The simplicity of Vanta's to-do list to complete important compliance steps is where it all started for me. From there, it was a breeze to click into the step, follow the detailed instructions, and track our progress. Contrast that with the totally scattered Excel spreadsheets and ambiguous requirements from audit firms, and Vanta comes out miles ahead of the "DIY approach". Our customer success contact was extremely helpful as well, and she added a ton of value to our experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
Vanta is a young company and product, and there are understandable rough spots that need some polish. However, very few of those rough spots were blockers to get my work done.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SOC-2 compliance and ongoing HIPAA compliance
Great integration and automation of SOC2 controls
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta gives great value to its customers by integrating with popular tools and automating most of the SOC2 controls. By monitoring our technological stack, it clearly defines the steps that we have to take to implement the controls relevant to a SOC2 audit. It is a helpful tool to manage corporate devices, manage onboarding and monitor our risk.
The support team is responsive and our success manager has always been a great help. It shows that Vanta takes into account their customers needs.

What do you dislike about the product?
The Vanta agent has difficulty reading Linux devices and windows servers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta allowed us to start our SOC2 audit in a fraction of the time that it would have taken us with the traditional method. The platform allows us to see exactly which controls need to be implemented and to what depth. It is allowing us to monitor for vulnerabilities and monitor our inventories. We are saving time and money by knowing exactly where to put our efforts to achieve our SOC2 certification.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Best automated tool for SOC2 compliance.
Vanta makes the process of becoming compliant very easy and straight forward.
What do you like best about the product?
It is logically built up with the automatic detection of security gaps in our IT infrastructure is great.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not all of our tools can integrate yet, so we still need to control access to some systems manually.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SOC 2 compliance and we achieve that with very little resources.
