Vanta’s mission is to secure the internet and protect consumer data. An important step to making this a reality is ensuring that every company can prove its own security to customers and prospects—creating a virtuous cycle where good security is good business. Today, we're thrilled to announce the next move in achieving our mission with Vanta's acquisition of Trustpage to reimagine the future of trust together.
Vulnerability scanning is the action of conducting an automated review of your system to look for potential risks and vulnerabilities. For budding information security professionals (or even those who have worked in the field for years), there is always something new to learn. Not only is it a highly intricate and advanced field but, on a daily basis, there is a cat-and-mouse game happening between security engineers and hackers.
A lack of compliance is increasingly becoming a major barrier for sales, forcing security directors to be more in tune with their organization’s revenue and growth goals than ever before. To help ease this pressure, companies are seeking to fulfill compliance requirements faster. In this article, we’re deep diving into the two most common security testing options that companies employ for their compliance initiatives: penetration testing and vulnerability scanning.
An access review describes the process of monitoring the rights and privileges of everyone who can interact with data and applications. This includes management of personnel, employees, vendors, service providers, and other third parties that your organization has been involved with. Also known as entitlement review, account attestation, or account recertification, access reviews are essential to the management, monitoring, and auditing of user account lifecycles.
We continue to innovate quickly to help you improve your compliance and security programs. This past month, we launched our own security awareness training video, along with these exciting platform updates:
We are excited to share that Vanta has been named the #1 Leader in G2’s Winter 2023 Grid® Report for Security Compliance.

We're thrilled to announce our enhanced Access Reviews solution. Access Reviews is a robust, automated offering that aligns to the main stages of an access review. It makes it easy to perform reviews on a proactive, continuous basis; not just point-in-time reviews for compliance purposes. The result is faster, more accurate reviews that lead to streamlined audits, lower labor costs, and a stronger security posture. Access Reviews is now available for purchase.
To build a strong security and compliance foundation, organizations need to be able to view, manage, and secure devices, such as laptops and desktops. If you’re new to security and compliance, you may be wondering how to tackle this problem—especially at scale. With effective mobile device management (MDM) software, your company can manage and secure employee devices used to access company systems and applications.
The length of an average SOC 2 audit depends on a lot of variables, but with Vanta, customers can get a SOC 2 Type I report in weeks, and a SOC 2 Type II report within months. Audit timelines are difficult to project because each organization has different capabilities, resources, and goals. But after helping thousands of businesses tackle SOC 2 audits, we’ve developed a reliable timeline of what most customers can expect.
Vanta is thrilled to announce an enhanced Access Reviews solution. Thousands of customers already use Vanta’s existing access reporting to help demonstrate compliance during audits, reduce risk, and build a strong compliance and security posture. But now it’s leveled-up in a big way. The enhanced Access Reviews solution is currently in beta and available for purchase.
