From compliance automation to continuous trust

Vanta began in 2018 by helping startups automate SOC 2, giving them a faster path to market and revenue. Today, it’s a full-stack AI trust management platform used by companies of every size—from seed-stage to the Fortune 50—to continuously monitor risk, maintain compliance and prove trust in real time.

The platform now supports zero-touch verification across a broad set of compliance and security controls and offers built-in tools for vendor risk management, access reviews and risk management, as well as Trust Centers that provide real-time transparency to customers and partners. This evolution reflects Vanta’s vision to move security reviews from static, point-in-time checks to a model of continuous, automated verification—giving teams real confidence in their trust posture, every day.

AI-powered impact

Vanta’s newly launched AI Agent connects across the platform to guide teams through workflows, surface inconsistencies, answer policy-related questions and automate workflows such as evidence verification— saving some teams up to 12 hours per week. AI-powered Questionnaire Automation drafts more than 80% of responses to security questionnaires, with a 95% acceptance rate—helping teams complete security reviews in half the time.

Together, these innovations address some of the most persistent challenges GRC and security teams face—like chasing evidence, managing fragmented tools, and responding to endless questionnaires—so they can focus on higher-impact work.

“We’re excited to lead Vanta's latest round of funding and support them as they transform how companies build and prove trust,” said Matt Witheiler, Head of Late-Stage Growth, Wellington Management. “Vanta’s AI-driven platform is moving beyond the standard for security and compliance -- with real-time, continuous verification that’s essential for every industry in today’s business environment. Christina and Vanta have created something truly special and we look forward to seeing their impact grow as they expand into new markets and push the boundaries of what’s possible for trust management in the age of AI.”
