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.

Great tool to get ready for Soc2
