Vanta integrates AI to centralize compliance and risk management for greater security oversight

Vanta Enhances AI to Streamline Compliance and Risk Management

Vanta Inc., a company specializing in AI-driven trust management, has introduced new capabilities that embed artificial intelligence into compliance and risk workflows. These enhancements unify policy management with the Vanta AI Agent, enable continuous vendor monitoring, and provide comprehensive risk oversight. The goal is to give security leaders a single platform to identify and address risks before they escalate.

Addressing Fragmented Risk Management

Many organizations face challenges due to fragmented risk management tools and manual processes that keep teams reactive rather than proactive. This fragmentation can lead to critical risks going unnoticed, slowing audits, delaying deals, and leaving companies vulnerable.

Vanta’s new AI-driven approach tackles this issue by integrating agentic AI into policy and evidence workflows, centralizing risk registers into enterprise-level summaries. This creates a unified system of record, making it easier for organizations to operate smoothly while giving leaders clear visibility and control over risk.

How Vanta AI Agent Works

The Vanta AI Agent now operates within an organizational context to manage policy workflows effectively. It can generate audit-ready policies, apply bulk updates across policy libraries, and verify documentation completeness. Automating these tasks helps organizations maintain continuous audit readiness by proactively flagging evidence gaps and inconsistencies in service level agreements.

Centralized Risk Management and Vendor Oversight

Vanta’s new features include:

• Multiple Risk Registers: Enables organizations to organize risk management by business units, allowing for customized views and risk categories tailored to each function.
• Enterprise Risk Rollups: Consolidates multiple risk registers into a unified, real-time dashboard that offers executives clear visibility over the entire risk landscape.
• Continuous Vendor Monitoring: Provides real-time vendor oversight with alerts based on customizable thresholds. This streamlines vendor risk questionnaires and highlights key findings early, allowing for immediate action.

Enhanced Slack Integration for Security Workflows

Recognizing the importance of seamless communication, Vanta has improved its Slack integration. Security workflows such as submitting and approving access requests, responding to reviews and questionnaires, and receiving notifications can now be handled directly within Slack. This keeps teams efficient and aligned without switching platforms.

Backing and Future Growth

Earlier this year, Vanta raised $150 million in a Series D funding round led by Wellington Management Co. LLP. The investment will accelerate AI innovation and expand the company’s presence into new markets, including third-party risk and government compliance. Other investors include Growth Equity at Goldman Sachs Alternatives, Sequoia Capital Operations, J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., and more.

For managers looking to stay ahead in compliance and risk oversight, these AI-enabled tools offer a path to reduce manual effort, speed up audits, and strengthen trust across the enterprise.
