Hot on the heels of their $150 million Series C funding round, we’re pleased to welcome Vanta as sponsor of The SaaS CTO Conference in September. We asked them some questions:

Tell us about the problem your company solves.

Vanta’s trust management platform takes the manual work out of your security and compliance process and replaces it with continuous automation—whether you’re pursuing your first framework or managing a complex program.

What are you most looking forward to sharing with the SaaS CTO Conference attendees?

For many teams, managing governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) is still a very manual process. As a security leader, you might be wondering how to future-proof and scale your GRC program when so much of your team’s time is spent on collecting screenshots or copying and pasting information from one spreadsheet to another.

The future of GRC management doesn’t have to be more of the same though. By automating compliance tasks across frameworks, integrating directly with security tools that collect evidence automatically, and continuously monitoring your environment for changes to risk posture, you can streamline and scale GRC workflows while turning trust into a strategic lever for your business.

Vanta’s trust management platform offers a continuous approach to automating compliance, centralizing program management, and proactively managing security reviews.

‍What do you think is the most interesting change in the SaaS landscape in 2024?

It’s never been more important for organizations to demonstrate their security practices in order to win the trust of customers. Historically, companies have used static web pages to demonstrate their security posture. And while these can act as helpful marketing tools, these pages don’t provide enough evidence for customers to evaluate a vendor’s security program.

This leads to lengthy email threads and manual processes in order to manage incoming customer requests. To that end, it’s critical for organizations to go beyond simple web pages and adopt a trust center that holistically displays and manages information about their security and compliance.

This type of trust center enables prospects and customers to self-serve the information they need for vendor reviews, automate manual processes, and continuously monitor the organization’s security posture. You can read more here.

What’s been your company’s proudest achievement in 2024 so far?
