Vanta connects to your cloud, code, and HR systems, then continuously checks the controls an auditor will ask about, collecting evidence for SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, or GDPR in one place. It also supplies the policy templates, vendor reviews, and employee training a first compliance program needs, with personnel onboarding tasks tracked in the same dashboard. Startups use it to close an enterprise deal without hiring a compliance manager.
Who it is for
Series A startups that need a SOC 2 report to close enterprise deals.

Where it falls short
The annual contract is priced by framework and headcount, so a second certification is another line item, and the external auditor is a separate fee.
Pricing
Annual subscription quoted by framework and headcount, typically five figures; the external audit is billed separately.
Prices move; the tier structure is the part that stays true. Check current pricing on Vanta.
