Vanta Scorecard

Vanta pulls evidence from more than 400 tools into one program for SOC 2, ISO 27001 and dozens of other frameworks. It scores 82 out of 100 on our rubric and ranks second in our SOC 2 compliance software ranking, behind Sprinto at 84 and ahead of Drata at 76.

Its catalog of 400 or more integrations is the widest in the SOC 2 ranking, and it has the most G2 reviews of the seven vendors we cover. Vendor risk scores 5 out of 5. Pricing transparency scores lowest, at 1 out of 5: Vanta lists four plan names and not one dollar figure. Its audit path scores 3 out of 5, on a named partner network and auditor access to the underlying test data.

What you get

Vanta groups its products into three areas: compliance, risk and customer trust. Compliance covers Continuous GRC and Streamlined audits. Risk covers Risk Management and Third Party Risk Management. Trust covers the Trust Center, Questionnaire Automation and Customer Commitments. A separate Personnel and Access area runs background checks, training, device monitoring and access reviews.

Vanta AI, an agent built into these workflows, is gated by what a customer has bought. AI Governance is a separate product for governing a company’s own AI agents, and Vanta takes sign-ups for it through a waitlist.

Vanta was founded in 2018 and has offices in San Francisco, New York, Sydney, Dublin and London. It says more than 16,000 companies use the platform. In July 2025 it raised a $150 million Series D at a $4.15 billion valuation. It also appears in our broader compliance management software ranking.

Plans and pricing

Plan	Price	What it adds
Essentials	Quote only	The core compliance platform, a policy template library and access to expert partners
Plus	Quote only	Automated policy onboarding, AI-powered Questionnaire Automation capped at 25 a year, and access management
Professional	Quote only	Custom monitoring tests, an advanced Trust Center, automated access management and Questionnaire Automation capped at 144 a year
Enterprise	Quote only	A fully customisable program for advanced GRC needs

Prices are in US dollars. Vanta lists no dollar figures at all, which holds pricing transparency at 1 of 5. AWS Marketplace tells a fuller story: Essentials starts at $14,000 a year for 1 to 20 employees, Plus at $21,500 and Professional at $23,000, with module prices such as $6,000 for the Trust Center and $13,600 for Third Party Risk Management. None of that earns rubric credit, which counts only a vendor’s list prices, but it does give a buyer a real number without a sales call.

Marketplace prices cover different headcount bands, as the compliance software pricing study shows. Vanta’s $14,000 floor covers 1 to 20 employees. Drata’s lowest listing is $15,000 for 1 to 50, a wider band for close to the same price. On the rubric, Vanta leads Drata by 6 points, 82 to 76.

Thoropass $8,700 No band listed

Sprinto $9,500 Up to 100 employees

Vanta $14,000 1 to 20 employees

Secureframe $15,000 Up to 100 employees

Scrut $15,000 Up to 20 employees

Drata $15,000 1 to 50 FTE

Pricing study

Frameworks

Vanta’s own figure is 35 or more compliance frameworks, across six categories: security, privacy, AI, government, financial and other. Framework coverage scores full marks on our rubric.

Government and public-sector coverage runs through named frameworks rather than a separate product line: FedRAMP, FedRAMP 20x, CMMC 2.0, NIST 800-53, NIST 800-171 and CJIS each have their own page. AI-specific frameworks include ISO 42001, NIST AI RMF and the EU AI Act, and Vanta says it was one of the first companies certified under ISO 42001. It appears in our CMMC compliance software ranking alongside Secureframe, which sells a separate Defense plan built around the same federal frameworks.

Customers can build frameworks of their own, and Professional adds custom monitoring tests on top of the prebuilt library, which is why customisation scores 4 out of 5. Vanta maps a single control to several frameworks. That is mapping at the control level, and the fifth point needs one test shown to satisfy several frameworks at once, so it earns no credit here.

Evidence collection and monitoring

Vanta claims more than 400 integrations, the widest catalog in the SOC 2 ranking, spanning 19 categories from cloud providers and identity systems to HR platforms and vulnerability scanners. The vendor says its three biggest cloud connections go deeper than a single account link: more than 40 AWS resources, 30 Azure resources and 25 Google Cloud Platform resources.

Once a resource is connected, tests run continuously and flag drift as it happens. A public API and a custom integration builder cover anything the prebuilt connectors miss, which is why automated evidence earns full marks on our rubric.

Audits

Vanta supports both paths to a signed report: a named network of more than 100 partner firms, including A-LIGN, Schellman, Frazier and Deeter, Insight Assurance and Prescient Security, and the option to bring an outside auditor instead. Vanta says it has completed more than 26,000 audits through the platform.

The newer claim is direct auditor access to evidence. Vanta says: “Only Vanta provides auditors access to test source data so auditors can verify automated testing, no screenshots required,” and a customer chooses what an auditor can see first. That combination, a partner network plus in-platform access, is why audit path scores 3 out of 5. There is no credit for buying the audit itself as part of the platform deal, which is where Thoropass pulls ahead with its own licensed CPA firm, as one purchase.

Vendor risk

Third Party Risk Management is sold on its own or as an add-on to any compliance plan. Vanta says its TPRM agent discovers vendors through existing integrations, builds a vendor inventory, sends customisable intake forms and runs AI-powered reviews that pull evidence out of vendor documents on their own.

Risk scoring is customisable, down to the weighting of categories such as data type, business criticality and integration access. Vanta acquired Riskey, a continuous third-party risk monitoring company, in July 2025. The TPRM Agent now monitors vendors for breaches, emerging threats and material changes after onboarding. With the inventory, automated discovery and AI-assisted document review, that earns 5 out of 5 on vendor risk. The agent is priced as an add-on.

Trust center and security questionnaires

The Trust Center runs on a connected domain with an AI chatbot answering visitor questions, continuous monitoring of the controls it displays, and unlimited viewer seats. Vanta says more than 6,000 Trust Center pages run on its platform. The Advanced tier adds ROI reporting plus integrations with HubSpot, Salesforce, DocuSign and Ironclad for access approval and NDA collection.

Questionnaire Automation drafts answers from a company’s knowledge base and past questionnaires, and Vanta says its AI-generated answers are accepted up to 95% of the time. Plus allows 25 questionnaires a year and Professional raises that to 144. A standalone product sold outside the plan tiers runs 144 or 288 a year instead, a different pair of numbers under the same feature name. Several workflow features, including automatic reminders to the owner of an unanswered question, are marked coming soon rather than live. Trust and questionnaires score 4 out of 5, held back by the per-plan caps.

Policies and people

Policies, training and access sit under Personnel and Access. HR, SSO and device management tools feed personnel records in, and each employee gets a task list covering policy acceptance, security training and background checks, with discounted checks available through Certn. Vanta Device Monitor checks password managers, disk encryption, screen lock and antivirus status on managed devices, and an MDM integration centralises the same evidence. Access requests, reviews, removal, MFA tests and ownership tests are each their own feature under access management.

Support and services

Vanta points buyers to directories of service-provider and auditor partners, plus access to expert partners for additional compliance work on the Essentials plan. Support runs through a public status page, a dedicated support-metrics page, a knowledge base, Vanta Academy and a community site, with instructor-led training available on top.

Who should buy Vanta

• Teams already juggling several frameworks, or expecting to add more. 35 or more named frameworks and a perfect framework coverage score mean the second and third certification reuse controls instead of starting from zero.
• Teams that want the broadest evidence pipeline available. A claimed 400-plus integrations is the largest catalog in the SOC 2 ranking, backed by continuous tests and a public API, which is why automated evidence also scores a perfect 5.
• Buyers who read reviews before booking a demo. Vanta carries the most G2 reviews of the seven vendors here, 2,734 at 4.6, a sample size the rest of the field cannot match.

Who should look elsewhere

• You will lean on custom tests across many frameworks. Sprinto scores 5 out of 5 on customisation against Vanta’s 4, the only criterion that separates them in Sprinto vs Vanta, and Vanta places custom monitoring tests on its Professional plan.
• You want a dollar figure without a sales call, even just one plan’s price. Secureframe lists a single starting price, $7,500 a year, which scores 2 out of 5 against Vanta’s 1, though Vanta leads Secureframe by 7 points overall in Secureframe vs Vanta.
• Your privacy and consent programs already run on OneTrust. OneTrust sells compliance automation on the same contract, though it scores 64 against Vanta’s 82 in OneTrust vs Vanta.
• You want the audit itself bundled into the platform purchase. Thoropass delivers it through its own licensed CPA firm, scoring 5 out of 5 on audit path against Vanta’s 3. Thoropass is one of five Vanta alternatives we rank.

How we score it

Vanta scores 82 out of 100 on rubric v0.9. It earns full marks on framework coverage, automated evidence, vendor risk and user sentiment. Pricing transparency costs it the most at 1 out of 5, since plan names are public but no plan carries a number. Trust and questionnaires and customisation each score 4 out of 5, and audit path scores 3 out of 5.
