The Vanta software tool is being used with our Information Technology & Information Security departments to continue our SOC2 compliance after the company-wide SOC2 audit from August to November 2021.

This is helping us address any security concerns before the auditor needs to inquire on a resolution or require an exemption to be implemented.
  • SOC2
  • Ease of Use
  • Explanation of Steps to Resolve
  • Better Explanations.
  • More Detailed Resolutions.
  • Allows Greater Auditor Editing of Extraneous Tasks.
Great for a small to medium sized business that needs to handle data securely and provide compliance assurance internally as well to its partners, customers, and potential clients. Relatively simple to use and integrate although perhaps too simple for larger more complex businesses with more expansive needs and various SOC2 section compliances.
