Vanta is proud to be one of the first companies to achieve ISO 42001 compliance with our audit partner Schellman, an ANSI-accredited ISO 42001 auditor. ‍ To prepare for and pass our audit, our team worked diligently to assess our specific business needs, communicate clearly with stakeholders and AI leadership, and complete formal training to learn how to develop, integrate, and deploy trustworthy AI systems in line with emerging laws and policies.

Neglecting regulatory compliance obligations, whether intentional or not, is not just a procedural error but a direct invitation for significant financial penalties, operational disruption, and, in the case of a healthcare organization, creating a potentially life-threatening situation. These consequences were recently illustrated by the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Office for Civil Rights (OCR).

National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)—is a U.S. federal agency that develops and promotes measurement standards, including some of the most widely used cybersecurity frameworks in the world. While originally designed to strengthen the security posture of federal systems, NIST guidelines are now used across industries as a benchmark for best practices in information security, risk management, and compliance.

One of the most critical elements of modern information security is encryption. Encryption is a complex field based solely on the arms race between people seeking secure ways to encode and encrypt data at rest and in transit and those seeking to break that encryption. Encryption is extremely commonplace. Most websites you visit use SSL, the Secure Socket Layer, which uses encryption to secure data traveling between your device and the servers hosting the website.

At Vanta, our mission is to secure the internet and protect consumer data. The proliferation of AI has made this both more challenging—and more important—than ever before. In our ongoing mission to ensure we safely use AI and demonstrate trustworthy AI practices, we’re excited to announce that Vanta is the first trust management platform to achieve ISO 42001 certification from an ANAB-accredited 42001 assessor. ‍

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) is the first comprehensive California data privacy law granting consumers control over how their personal information is collected, used, and shared. It was enacted in 2018 and took effect on January 1, 2020, signaling a national shift in privacy regulations. With increasing emphasis on transparency and accountability, businesses must now adhere to a new standard in consumer data protection California.

AI is a part of just about every organization—whether you're deploying AI, leveraging vendors who use it, or perhaps even building a model yourself. With AI moving faster than the pace of regulation, it’s natural for concerns around AI security and responsible usage to be top of mind. ‍ We hear from customers and prospects often who are looking for guidance to prove and demonstrate AI compliance and best practices.
