Security | Threat Detection | Cyberattacks | DevSecOps | Compliance

Choosing compliance software in 2026? Every platform on your shortlist says the same three things: automation, AI, and audit-ready. What none of them show you in a demo is whether the tool keeps you ready all year or leaves you scrambling every audit season. This video walks through five criteria that separate the two, and the exact question to ask a vendor on each one.

You're the CISO at Larkfield Health, a 9,500-person health tech company. A little after 9:00 AM on a Tuesday, your Head of Detection forwards you a message from a security researcher you've never heard of. They say they've found a way to make Wingman—the AI assistant you rolled out company-wide six months ago—hand internal data to an outsider, and that a collection server that isn't theirs is already receiving it. Nothing in your own stack has made a sound.

What's new this month in Vanta? Agentic onboarding—Upload your controls, policies, and custom framework docs. The agent builds your framework and suggests policies and evidence (nothing writes without your approval). Dark mode—Now available, and follows your OS or browser setting automatically. C5:2026—Germany's leading cloud security attestation standard is now a supported framework. Customer Commitments—A contract can carry 50+ commitments. The Vanta Agent checks each against your live program and ranks them by the risk they carry.

AI is part of everyday life now, which means trust and privacy aren’t just security team questions anymore. So naturally, we needed to know how New Yorkers are handling it. Vanta on the Street is back.
