Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We hired them to help us with SOC (System and Organization Controls) compliance.

Pros

They were supposed to help me create and store documents, but ended up losing them.

Cons

In my opinion, they make it very hard to contact them when you need something.
In my experience, they write their contracts to make it difficult to cancel service.
In my experience, they have no policy for refunds in addition to their [...] contacts.

Likelihood to Recommend

They lost documents, couldn't explain where they went. Then they forced a renewal on me even after being told I would not renew. In my opinion, Buyer Beware With This Company.

Great tool to get ready for Soc2

Rating: 9 out of 10

March 29, 2022

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We've begun our journey for Soc2 certification. Vanta helped us with any steps required for preparation, contacts, and monitoring. Their customer success is great. The tool works fine and we're reaching the end of our audit period without any trouble. We just did what Vanta suggested we do.

Pros

Soc2 guidance and contacts building.
Well monitoring the infrastructure.
Well monitoring the people requirements.

Cons

Cannot differentiate Heroku review apps.
Vanta agent misses some HD encryption settings.
More than one Google Workspace setup.

Likelihood to Recommend

Vanta is an all-inclusive Soc2 readiness tool. Its customer success support is great. The tool works well and makes the process easy to manage. I cannot imagine handling those steps manually. The success of the process highly depends on the toolset you use and its integration with Vanta. If you use a tool that's not integrated with Vanta the automation would be less powerful.

Vanta saves us valuable time

Rating: 8 out of 10

Incentivized

March 10, 2022

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Vanta has made it much easier than expected to get started with the SOC2 process. They streamline a lot of the confusing pieces and save us valuable time. We had never gone through a SOC2 before, so the help getting started was crucial, as otherwise, it would be hard to keep track of what is involved. My understanding is that they also streamline things on the auditor's side, which made the total price of the SOC2 audit more reasonable than I feared.

Pros

SOC2 compliance tracking
SOC2 outline
SOC2 auditor search process

Cons

Some of the technical integrations are still buggy

Likelihood to Recommend

Vanta seems excellent for startups, but I expect that they would be even more useful at bigger companies. I think it really helps people that haven't done SOC2 before. I also think it would help in monitoring compliance across teams with many users. If the budget is extremely tight, I think it would be possible to save money by not using it.

Vanta, a great tool for bootstrapping your compliance program

Rating: 8 out of 10

December 7, 2021

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Vanta does an excellent job automating evidence collection SOC controls by providing integrations with the tools my team uses. They've made it very easy to bootstrap and execute a compliance program without hiring additional staff.

Pros

Integrations with source control and infrastructure providers.
Guidance around what makes a company's policy secure.
Portals that supply our auditors with everything they need to write their reports.

Cons

I'd love to see more options for integrations. ie a Datadog integration that checks on infrastructure monitoring.
Providing a general area for document sharing.

Likelihood to Recommend

Vanta's well suited for a company that's just getting started with its compliance journey and needs some guidance on how to get started.

Vanta is a no-brainer to enable SOC 2 compliance

Rating: 9 out of 10

Incentivized

November 10, 2021

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are using Vanta as a software solution to accelerate our SOC 2 compliance path. The software and whole team at Vanta have been great at helping enable our compliance path on a rapid trajectory. It would have taken us much longer to get everything together without Vanta's help and we plan on continuing to use it in the future.

Pros

SOC 2
Compliance
Security review

Cons

International background check verification
Seamless connection to audit firms
Changing tests in the middle of a review period

Likelihood to Recommend

Vanta is great for fast-growing software companies that are looking for a rubber stamp of approval of SOC 2. While mostly a useless standard, corporate America for legacy reasons still values the signaling effect and Vanta helps streamline that process.If you are looking for SOC 2, get Vanta setup and stop worrying about SOC 2.
