Boosting Efficiency for Resource-Strapped Teams

The new releases come at a crucial time, as cybersecurity talent shortages challenge organisations worldwide. According to IDC, GRC vendors are increasingly integrating automation, orchestration, machine learning (ML), and artificial intelligence (AI) into their platforms to improve productivity and reduce the burdens typically associated with GRC management. Vanta’s latest enhancements help teams streamline operations, maintain a robust security posture, and build trust both internally and externally.

“Our latest offerings empower GRC teams to make trust a strategic lever for their business,” said Jeremy Epling, Chief Product Officer at Vanta. “With Vanta's new Report Center, GRC professionals can more easily see the status of their entire program, prioritise and act on risks, and tie their program performance back to business outcomes. Additionally, our automation capabilities across 30 compliance frameworks and over 350 integrations simplify evidence collection, allowing teams to stay compliant with less effort.”

Introducing the Report Centre: Actionable Insights at Your Fingertips

Vanta’s new Report Centre delivers a centralised, real-time view of an organisation’s security and compliance program. Featuring six comprehensive reports, including Program Overview and Compliance, the Report Centre helps businesses:

• Automatically gather and visualise data across risk management, vendor oversight, compliance, personnel, and overall trust metrics.
• Share status updates with key stakeholders, providing transparent evidence of program impact.
• Identify areas for improvement and optimize program performance across various dimensions.

Mark Belgrove, Chief Information Security Officer at Paramount Commerce, emphasised the value of the Report Centre: “As a CISO, having a clear understanding of all controls is essential. More importantly, our board needs to see that everything is on track. Vanta’s Report Center makes this easy with quick and intuitive visibility into risks and controls.”

Enhanced Vendor Risk Management: Automating Vendor Reviews

Vanta’s enhanced VRM solution streamlines traditionally manual vendor reviews, reducing the time spent on these processes by up to 90% while providing ongoing visibility into vendor risk. Key updates include:

• A fully customisable vendor inherent risk rubric, allowing teams to adapt criteria, such as AI policies, to their specific needs.
• Automated task scheduling in Jira to track follow-up actions based on security review findings.
• A new Residual Risk field to monitor and manage risks identified during vendor assessments.

Achieving Integration and Framework Milestones

Vanta has reached significant milestones with over 350 integrations, including major platforms like AWS, CrowdStrike, and Jira. These integrations facilitate continuous evidence collection, monitoring, and compliance verification directly within Vanta, enhancing audit readiness and control management.

With automated support for 30 security and privacy frameworks—including SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST AI Risk Management Framework, HITRUST, and CIS CSF—Vanta enables customers to transition from periodic assessments to ongoing compliance management. The platform’s cross-mapped controls further streamline efforts, allowing teams to achieve compliance across multiple frameworks simultaneously and in significantly less time.

Vanta’s latest advancements reflect its commitment to delivering cutting-edge solutions that empower GRC teams to operate more efficiently, effectively, and with greater confidence in their security and compliance programs. For more information, visit Vanta's website.
