📋Compliance & TrainingAbout Vanta
Vanta is the leading automated compliance platform, helping organizations achieve and maintain SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, PCI DSS, and other frameworks. Its automated evidence collection monitors your cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure), code repositories, identity providers, and endpoints continuously — reducing manual evidence gathering by 80–90%. Vanta's pre-built control frameworks map your existing tools to compliance requirements and identify gaps. The Trust Center generates a public-facing security page with real-time compliance status for sharing with enterprise prospects. Used by 7,000+ companies from seed-stage startups to enterprises. Pricing starts around $7,500/year for SOC 2 preparation, with higher tiers for multiple frameworks. Compared to Drata, Vanta has a larger customer base and partner network; both are closely matched on features.
