Great tool to accelerate SOC2 process
- API driven capabilities offer a very easy way to connect your systems to their application.
- It was mostly intuitive to figure out what needed to be configured.
- I like how responsive they have been and how they have been able to outline the entire process for us from the start to the end.
- Alerts and employee onboarding and offboarding were not entirely complete when we started using the product.
- It would be nice if we could assign policies to specific people in the Vanta app.
- Sometimes, refreshing the tests when you make the changes to pass takes a little more time than desired.
The risk management does not take all of the BAU risks of an organisation into account, instead only providing valid output against technical controls or some policy controls.
- It automates much of the timely process of evidence collation.
- It's continuous monitoring capabilities are fantastic.
- Vanta connects seamlessly to your cloud infra, source code repo, issue tracker, etc.
