Vanta is an American software company founded in 2018 that builds security and compliance automation tooling. Its core product, described as an Agentic Trust Platform, continuously monitors security controls and collects audit evidence, replacing manual checks with AI-aided automation. The system is designed to help companies achieve and maintain compliance with frameworks including SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI and GDPR with fewer manual steps, and to keep organisations in a state of ongoing audit readiness.
The engineering work spans several domains of interest to technical candidates: security automation, continuous control monitoring, automated evidence collection, AI-aided automation, and API integration. The Vanta API connects with more than 400 tools, providing a unified view of an organisation's compliance posture and underpinning a Trust Center that lets businesses demonstrate their security standing to customers. The platform also covers vendor risk management and third-party monitoring.
Vanta sells to startups, enterprises and large digital businesses across the software and security sectors. Internally, the company describes a mission-driven culture built on cross-functional collaboration between product, engineering, sales and partnerships, with stated emphasis on speed, accuracy and responsible growth. Its stated aim is to let security teams build secure products rather than spend time on manual checks.
