About Vanta We started in 2018 in the wake of several high-profile data breaches.

Online security was only becoming more important but we knew firsthand how hard it could be for fast-growing companies to invest the time and manpower it takes to build a solid security foundation.

Vanta was inspired by a vision to restore trust in internet businesses by enabling companies to improve and prove their security.

From our early days automating security monitoring for compliance standards like SOC 2 HIPAA and ISO 27001 to creating the world's leading Trust Management Platform our vision remains unchanged.

Now more than ever making security continuous—not just a point-in-time check— is essential.

Thousands of companies rely on Vanta to build maintain and demonstrate their trust— all in a way that's real-time and transparent.
