Vanta operates as a security and compliance automation platform, designed to assist businesses in streamlining the certification process for standards like SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and GDPR. The company was founded in 2016 by Christina Cacioppo and Erik Goldman, though Goldman is no longer with the company. The idea originated from Cacioppo's personal experience with the arduous process of obtaining SOC 2 compliance while leading product management for Dropbox Paper. This firsthand knowledge of the complexities and resource drain associated with manual compliance, especially for fast-growing tech companies, became the foundation for Vanta.

CEO Christina Cacioppo's background includes a degree in Economics and a Master's in Management Science and Engineering from Stanford University, followed by a period as an analyst at Union Square Ventures. This combination of investment insight and product experience informed the company's customer-centric approach. Before writing a line of code for Vanta, Cacioppo focused on interviewing potential customers to deeply understand their pain points, a strategy that defined the company's initial product development.

Vanta's business model is based on a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) subscription, where clients pay recurring fees for access to the platform. This model provides continuous, 24/7 monitoring of a company's infrastructure and policies against required security controls, alerting them to compliance issues in real-time. Initially targeting venture-backed startups, Vanta has since expanded its client base to include mid-market and larger enterprises across various sectors like technology, finance, and healthcare. The platform integrates with over 375 common business tools—such as cloud services, code repositories, and HR systems—to automatically collect evidence required for audits. This automation significantly reduces the time and manual effort involved in preparing for security certifications.

The core service is a trust management platform that offers features like automated security monitoring, real-time risk assessment, and customizable compliance frameworks. It provides a centralized dashboard for a holistic view of a company's security posture. More recent additions include AI-powered tools to accelerate the completion of security questionnaires, vendor risk management to detect shadow IT, and a public Trust Center to help clients demonstrate their security posture to potential buyers. By turning a periodic, manual scramble into a continuous, automated process, Vanta aims to help businesses prove their security to unlock larger deals and build customer trust.
