Featured app • Vanta
Audit readiness moved into the sales cycle
Security review used to happen after the handshake. Now the questionnaire turns up before anyone talks about contracts, and the deal waits while somebody hunts for evidence across a dozen systems. Vanta pulls that evidence continuously from more than 400 connected tools, monitors it against SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR and over 35 other frameworks, and its agent drafts the policies and fills in the questionnaires that used to eat a week. Customers report automating 93% of questionnaire responses and closing deals around 20% faster. Ramp, Duolingo, GitHub, Snowflake and Atlassian are among the 16,000 companies running it.
What is it:
A compliance platform that automates evidence collection for SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA and more than 35 other frameworks.
Who is it for:
Teams whose next enterprise deal is sitting behind a security review nobody has time to prepare for.
Alternative to:
Drata, Secureframe, Sprinto, Scrut, Thoropass, or a consultant and a folder of screenshots taken the week before the audit.
Why we like it:
We like Vanta because the evidence collects itself continuously, so audit season stops being a season.
