Vanta

About Vanta

Vanta is a security and compliance automation platform that helps companies achieve and maintain certifications like SOC 2, ISO 27001, and HIPAA. Founded in 2018, Vanta automates much of the compliance monitoring and evidence collection required for security audits, making it faster and easier for startups and growing companies to become certified.

Vanta is designed for technology companies, SaaS businesses, and startups that need security compliance certifications to close enterprise deals or meet regulatory requirements. Their platform continuously monitors infrastructure, policies, and controls to maintain audit-ready compliance.

Service Offerings

Vanta's core services include:

• Compliance Automation: Automated monitoring and evidence collection for SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and other compliance frameworks.
• Security Audits: Facilitation and management of third-party security audits with integrated evidence gathering.
• Trust Center: Public-facing security and compliance documentation for customers and prospects.
• Vendor Risk Management: Tools for assessing and managing third-party vendor security.

Vanta operates as a SaaS platform that integrates with companies' infrastructure (AWS, GitHub, HR systems) to continuously monitor security controls and collect audit evidence automatically.

Approach and Positioning

Vanta positions itself as automated security compliance, emphasizing speed and continuous monitoring rather than annual audit scrambles. They focus on making compliance accessible to startups that can't afford full-time security teams or manual compliance programs.

What sets Vanta apart is their automation depth: they connect directly to infrastructure and SaaS tools to verify security controls in real-time, reducing the manual work typically required to prepare for audits.

Key strengths include:

• Automated evidence collection reducing audit preparation time
• Continuous compliance monitoring rather than point-in-time
• Fast path to SOC 2 for startups needing certification
• Integration with common infrastructure and SaaS tools

How Omniga Compares to Vanta

Vanta is a security compliance platform, while Omniga is a finance orchestration platform—they serve entirely different operational domains with no direct overlap or competition.

Vanta handles security and compliance operations: monitoring infrastructure, collecting audit evidence, and maintaining certifications like SOC 2. Omniga handles finance operations: managing bookkeeping workflows, categorizing transactions, and producing financial reporting. These are separate business functions that both growing companies need but that don't intersect meaningfully.

Key differences:

• Focus: Vanta focuses on security compliance, audit readiness, and certification management; Omniga focuses on finance workflows, bookkeeping, and financial reporting
• Users: Vanta serves security teams, IT teams, and founders pursuing compliance certifications; Omniga serves finance teams, bookkeepers, and fractional CFOs
• Domain: Vanta operates in security and compliance; Omniga operates in finance and accounting

These platforms address different business needs: Vanta for security compliance and audit certifications, Omniga for finance operations and management reporting.
