AuditBoard vs Vanta

AuditBoard is a great platform for our organization because it allows real-time collaboration between the owners and auditors, plus it is very user-friendly. A couple of the features I love are the view that can be tailored by individual users and the dashboard that allows you to easily check the status of different projects.

Vanta allows you to fully automate your security monitoring and get you ready for security audits in few months. Their Customer Success team is exemplary, keeping a regular health check of your compliance program with frequent updates and weekly action items to make sure you are up to speed with your compliance activities.They keep adding new features, capabilities to the system enhancing the user experience.The system is intelligent and keeps you informed of the pending tests, new tasks, and provides useful reporting tools for your internal follow-ups.

• Allows line of business managers to review and report SOX control status/changes which automatically update the controls in the related narratives.
• Shows status of work.
• Exports system data to Excel to create many helpful reporting possibilities.
• Organizes audit tasks and information.

• API driven capabilities offer a very easy way to connect your systems to their application.
• It was mostly intuitive to figure out what needed to be configured.
• I like how responsive they have been and how they have been able to outline the entire process for us from the start to the end.

• It would be nice if AuditBoard had more audit templates available for use on Ops Audit.
• More timely updates for all users on their new features and release notes.
• More CPE training and round tables for the users.

• 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.

Great to maintain for our SOC2 compliance and further compliance evolutions

Pretty intuitive and great integrations

Always available

Fast although the agent may take some time to reping on checks

Direct support and replies in a timely manner to tickets submitted

Pretty straight forward

Straight Forward

Pretty seemless and did it almost entirely myself

I remember there were a lot of sync issues when I used the internally developed software, but that's probably because a few people were working on the same project at the same time. I have not come across this issue in AuditBoard

Vanta's reporting was far superior, the price was competitive but my engineers running the project said that working with vanta would save them significant amount of time. Secondly vanta had more integrations so they could plug directly into the systems we use!

Works as intended

• Hard to quantify. It was cheaper than the tool we had and we were able to get rid of standalone tool for surveys. overall, just better user experience for all.

• Vanta has helped us become SOC2 compliant which helps in selling to customers
• Investors like to see that we are SOC2 compliant
• IT security conversations are much easier with the SOC2 compliance
