Let’s face it, most businesses have commitment issues. Not the relationship kind (we can’t help you there), but the kind that shows up after a customer contract is signed. ‍ You make a promise to a customer—about response times, security practices, or data handling—but when an incident hits or it's time for your audit, no one can exactly remember what the organization promised, to whom, or by when. And if commitments go unmet, your revenue and reputation is at risk.

Organizations today are expected to maintain continuous compliance with evolving security standards and regulations, resulting in an enormous volume of evidence. Manually collecting and managing substantial evidence documentation is not practical when controls and scrutiny increase. The process is slow, error-prone, difficult to scale, and takes your team away from high-value security tasks.

Wiz recently published its first Wiz Integration Network (WIN) Partner Index 2025, which looks at which tools and vendors Wiz users are connecting with most. We were honored to show up on this list—not once—but four different times. ‍ The WIN Partner Index is built from actual customer adoption and usage, offering a practical view into which integrations deliver the most meaningful impact as security teams grow.

Vanta is the Agentic Trust Platform—built to help companies earn trust and prove it, continuously. ‍ Every company’s trust journey starts with two connected goals: earning and proving that trust. You earn trust by demonstrating a strong security foundation to customers, partners, auditors, and your board. You prove trust by continuously strengthening that foundation—managing risk, monitoring threats, and acting on real-world feedback.

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

For many organizations, risk management is still stuck in the past—reliant on spreadsheets, manual reviews, and static registers that go stale shortly after they’re created. Without clear ownership or automation, treatment plans linger, and accountability slips. Risks remain fragmented across departments, disconnected from business impact and board visibility. ‍ At the same time, emerging threats are evolving faster than ever.

Vendor risk programs often scale faster than the teams that run them. Every new third-party relationship adds security questionnaires, evidence requests, and hours of manual follow-up. When a single vendor review can take 50+ hours, backlogs grow, reviews slow, and critical risks slip through. ‍ At the same time, vendor security postures change constantly.

If you’re a founder or engineering leader at a growing startup, you’re probably familiar with this tension: You need compliance like SOC 2 to close deals, but earning it pulls your team away from building your product. ‍ For example, manual SOC 2 prep forces engineers to spend weeks collecting screenshots, tracking down documentation, and responding to auditors instead of shipping features.

For lean teams, ISO 27001 can feel like a lot to take on. You’re expected to set up a formal security program, assess risks, write and maintain a long list of policies, and have audit-ready proof on hand—often without a large security or compliance headcount. ‍ On top of that, manual work and outside consultants can get expensive fast, pulling founders, engineers, and operators away from building the product and growing the business.

Modern organizations depend on a vast network of third-party vendors to deliver their products and services, often outsourcing logistics like manufacturing and customer support. While this promotes scalability and innovation, relying on external parties can create blind spots in data security, regulatory compliance, and risk management. ‍ These gaps exist because vendors often don’t operate under the same policies and ethical standards as the organization with which they collaborate.
