This past month, the Vanta team launched new features to help you: ‍

Audit firms today face pressure to deliver faster, more accurate audits while meeting rising client expectations. Clients often operate with complex tech stacks, outdated evidence-gathering workflows, multiple frameworks, and numerous workspaces—all of which auditors must manage alongside their own established tools and processes.

As your security and compliance program matures, so does your need for visibility and control. Internally, teams need a centralized view—a single place to monitor progress, align on priorities, and collaborate across functions. But during an audit, not everything needs to be shared with your auditor. ‍ Yet, most GRC tools aren’t built to make that distinction.

Building products while pursuing compliance frameworks like SOC 2 or HIPAA can feel complex and time-consuming. Challenges such as unclear integrations, manual evidence collection, and procurement delays are common, but with AWS-native automation tools, companies can overcome these hurdles and accelerate their compliance journey. ‍ In this post, we'll break down three core ways Vanta simplifies compliance for cloud-forward teams, so you can move faster, stay secure, and focus on building. ‍

We’re excited to introduce the Vanta AI Agent—built to supercharge GRC teams. With a deep understanding of your program, the Vanta AI Agent proactively guides you through key workflows and takes action on your behalf, all while keeping you firmly in control. It continuously scans your program for inconsistencies and issues that are easy to overlook and handles the most tedious, repetitive tasks to enhance the overall quality of your program, and maximize your impact.

The way developers interact with tools is changing fast. Language models like Claude and ChatGPT, and IDEs like Cursor and Windsurf are much more than assistants and environments—they’re powerful interfaces for interacting with enterprise data. ‍ At Vanta, we envision a world where compliance workflows can shift left to meet GRC teams and developers where they already are. By launching the Vanta MCP Server, we’re making that vision real.
