Vanta Trust Management Platform
Automated GRC collecting evidence across 400+ integrations for SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and GDPR.
Vanta Trust Management Platform Overview
What it does
The Vanta Trust Management Platform is a governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) system that automates evidence collection and continuous control monitoring to help organizations earn and maintain security certifications. Rather than treating audits as point-in-time projects, it connects to the cloud services, identity providers, and developer tools a business already runs, then continuously tests configured controls against framework requirements. An agentic AI layer drafts security questionnaire responses and extracts data from vendor security reports.
How it works
Compliance is organized around prebuilt framework templates covering SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, PCI DSS, and FedRAMP, plus newer regimes such as ISO 42001, the EU AI Act, DORA, and NIS2, with controls that cross-map so one piece of evidence can satisfy several frameworks. Workspaces let business units customize their programs, while the Vanta API and a library of automated tests extend monitoring to internal and on-premises systems. Modules add risk management, third-party risk management with automated vendor discovery and risk scoring, personnel and access reviews, and a customer-facing Trust Center. Case studies include GitHub, Perforce, and DocGo.
Credentials and traction
Vanta holds SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and ISO/IEC 42001 certifications, published through its Trust Center. On its first-ever inclusion, the platform was named a Leader in The Forrester Wave: Governance, Risk, and Compliance Platforms, Q2 2026, receiving top scores in continuous controls monitoring, platform use of AI and AI agents, and integration quality. More than 16,000 organizations rely on Vanta, including Atlassian, Duolingo, Ramp, Intercom, and NYU Langone Health, spanning early-stage startups through enterprises in regulated sectors.
