Vanta

✨Vanta has raised $150M in Series D funding and is now valued at $4.15B!✨ Our mission is to help businesses earn and prove trust. In 2018, that meant helping startups automate SOC 2, giving them a faster path to market and revenue. Today, it means using AI to help 12,000 customers of all sizes automate compliance, reduce risk, and prove trust in real time. In the past year alone, we've: 🚀 Shipped 350+ new features, including Vanta AI Agent & AI Assessments 🔐 Acquired Riskey to deliver continuous, AI-driven vendor monitoring 🤝 Launched Vanta for Marketplaces with Atlassian & Snowflake 📃 Rolled out Policy Builder to streamline audit readiness for startups 🏛️ Expanded into govt. frameworks like FedRAMP, CMMC, & NIST 800-53 💜 Grown to 1,000 Vanta’ns strong And we’re just getting started. With this new funding, we’ll double down on our investments in AI and expand into new areas like third-party risk management, privacy, and US Government, ultimately building more for our customers. That means making zero-touch security reviews a reality, enabling AI agents that can rewrite policies, assign owners, and collect evidence, and mapping contract commitments to live controls so customer promises are continuously verified. Thank you to Wellington Management, Goldman Sachs, Sequoia Capital, JPMorganChase, Craft Ventures, Y Combinator, Atlassian Ventures, and CrowdStrike Ventures for your support and continued investment in Vanta’s vision and mission. To our customers, partners and super fans: thank you for helping us reimagine trust and GRC in the age of AI. We can’t wait to share all that’s to come.

🎉 We’re excited to share that Vanta has been named to the 2025 Forbes #Cloud100 list ☁️ alongside the most innovative cloud and AI companies in the world! This milestone isn’t just about us, it’s about the 12K+ customers who trust us, the partners who support us, and the Vanta'ns who show up every day to build something better. As Forbes put it: "For enterprises, data security and compliance can be a gnarly process, often prone to errors. Vanta wants to help companies stay honest about how they handle their customers’ data. Its solution: continuous monitoring tools and automated security reports that provide a clear picture of where vulnerabilities lie." Thank you Bessemer Venture Partners and Forbes for the recognition, and thank you to our community for believing in our mission. We wouldn’t be here without you.

Coolest cameo ever. 🦙 🎨

Vanta is proud to sponsor the 16th Annual Billington CyberSecurity Summit in Washington, D.C. Find us at Booth #617 from Sept 9-12, where we’ll be connecting with government CISOs, CIOs, industry leaders, and partners to share how Vanta helps streamline compliance, support frameworks like SOC 2 and FedRAMP, and build trust at scale. 👋 See you there! #BillingtonCyber

🚨 Big news for #CMMC compliance! The 48 CFR CMMC final rule has officially cleared regulatory review. Here’s what’s next: 📌 ~1 week → Publication in the Federal Register 📌 1–60 days after publication → the rule goes into effect = start of Phase 1 rollout 📌 From that date forward → All new DoD contracts will include some level of CMMC requirement Why this matters: ⚠️ With fewer than 80 assessors and over 300K contractors needing certification, backlogs are inevitable. Don’t let a lack of CMMC compliance cost you contracts. At Vanta, we help govtech and defense contractors prepare for CMMC, NIST 800-171, and FedRAMP. We’re one of the first platforms certified under the FedRAMP 20x pilot, and our tools centralize controls, automate evidence collection, and fast-track audit readiness. If your business has been waiting, now’s the time to act. ⚡ Learn how Vanta helps with CMMC: https://lnkd.in/gGdSJk5i

AI is changing how companies build trust. We're here to help keep you up to speed with our August edition of Trust Issues, featuring: 🧠 How to sell to the enterprise as an AI startup with Sierra's Bret Taylor 📅 A look ahead at Vanta Delivers: AI-Powered Risk Management 📊 110 data points every leader should know 🔍 Our new AI security assessment Start next month ahead of the curve. ⬇️

Vanta's own Matt Cooper is sharing his views on the AI paradox: It's both a champion and a challenger of trust. AI makes building trust a lot more complicated. It ushers in new concerns about: 🔐 Security 🔍 Transparency ☑️ Authenticity But AI also has the power to accelerate trust. With AI and automation, large and small organizations can more effectively combat new and emerging threats, increase transparency around their security program, and combat authenticity concerns with third-party validation.

“We needed a compliance system that could support work with a sensitive government defense program or a startup building nuclear fusion. Testing is an accelerant. It has to work.” — Craig Schwartz, General Counsel and Head of InfoSec at Nominal Nominal's customers operate at mission-critical scale. Compliance had to meet that same bar. They used #Vanta to: → Cut SOC 2 prep time in half → Automate controls across their stack → Skip the vendor hunt with trusted intros Now they’re scaling with security built in, saving time and headcount for the work that really moves their business forward. 🚀 Details at the link in the comments!
