We’re thrilled to announce that Vanta has signed a strategic collaboration agreement (SCA) with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to make it even easier for businesses to scale securely in the cloud. We’re expanding the reach of our compliance automation and trust management platform, enabling organizations to build stronger security programs, accelerate audit readiness, and demonstrate compliance more efficiently—all while scaling on AWS. ‍

Being compliant doesn’t mean you’re secure. Achieving and maintaining CMMC compliance may demonstrate conformance and look good on paper, but it does not guarantee protection. Too often, government contractors check the boxes, pass the audit, and assume their job is done and they’re protected. Then a real-world attack happens—and the so-called “protections” fall apart. The defenses that met the standard weren’t built to stop real threats.

With the rise of electronic health records (EHRs) and digital patient data, safeguarding this information is not just a matter of privacy but a necessity for compliance and security. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Security Rule stands as a cornerstone in the efforts to protect electronic health information (ePHI).

The AI boom has introduced intelligent tools into most industries, not just in tech-first organizations. But the rising adoption also opens the door to new risks. ‍ Vanta’s AI governance survey found that 63% of organizations rate data privacy and protection as the top concern with AI, followed by security and adversarial threats at 50%. These numbers emphasize how urgently organizations want to prioritize defenses for AI-specific attack vectors.

The rapid evolution of telehealth has transformed the way patients connect with healthcare providers. As remote care becomes increasingly mainstream, ensuring that these digital interactions are secure, private, and fully compliant with HIPAA is more critical than ever. In this guide, we’ll explore the world of HIPAA compliance in telehealth, examine what it means for remote care providers, and offer practical tips to help you secure your telehealth platform.

With regulatory complexity rising across all industries, managing multiple frameworks and amended regulations simultaneously has become the new security standard. Regular audits and continuous improvement have also become essential, both to ensure ongoing compliance and to strengthen customer trust. ‍ However, manual compliance audits are time- and resource-intensive. Their complexity grows with each new framework, significantly raising the risk of human error and compliance fatigue.

As we speak about changing the regulatory and environmental landscape, organizations are shifting toward more responsible, sustainable practices not only to abide by regulations but also to build resilience, trust, and competitive advantage. Governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) strategies are evolving by incorporating environmental responsibility, ensuring that compliance is not merely a checkbox activity but a core part of an organization’s overall sustainability practices.

PCI audits are not designed to protect your organization. They are designed to protect the payment card industry. This misalignment exists because card brands bear the burden of fraud-related costs, so the framework is built to minimize their exposure rather than address the unique risks merchants face. For example, PCI DSS focuses heavily on infrastructure and network security, reflecting a time when payment processing happened in secure, on-premise environments.
