Performance of Vanta Across Market Features
Vanta Likes & Dislikes
Three of Vanta's strengths are 1- automated evidence collection: automated evidence gathering significantly reduces man hours needed for audit prep with key integrations into many of our systems. 2- Centralized control and policy management: Vanta provides a centralized place to manage controls, policies, and employee compliance workflows. This feature helps us keep us organized and compliant at a company level without having to think about it. 3- streamlined client DDQ/security reviews: Vanta provides a centralized location for all of our client questionnaires, and the questionnaire automation process has saved us countless hours and helped speed up our sales cycles by ensuring we get questionnaires back to clients in a timely manner.
The tool is well structured to organise your security program between various frameworks. The AI tooling so far is also useful, and the trust centre feature is also nice to have.
Integrations with tools like GitHub and AWS, Automated Reminders for document renewals, and delegation of responsibilities for policies and documents.
Three areas I dislike are 1- needing to purchase entire new frameworks in order to gain access to one off trainings if we have a request from a client that isn't included in our current framework, 2- the questionnaire automation has improved a lot and we find it helpful, but it can sometimes be hard to upload complex excel sheets that have multiple tabs or answer options, and lastly 3- sometimes the automated notifications sent are repetitive.
The risk management module has a number of immaturities and limitations. For example, current risk (where you are today) is automatically calculated by Vanta and it is not possible to produce this score yourself. It's a very basic calculation method, where the risk score goes from the inherent to residual score only once all assigned controls are passing. It goes from 'zero to hero' just like that, which is often not an accurate reflection of your real, current risk score. It cannot take into account control effectiveness, or the difference between compliant vs secure.
Not everything can be automated and integrating with our PM system is not possible currently. Some evidence needs to be uploaded manually. Onboarding definitely has a learning curve. We struggled for a few months but their support team was willing and able to help.
