Our take
The security auditing process is usually very time-consuming, taking hours to complete, and it is often difficult for startups to invest time into such a process. Yet, the benefits of security accreditation are enormous, mainly as many such businesses are working globally and need ways to demonstrate security compliance to one another. Vanta works specifically with startups to help them complete and pass security audits such as SOC 2 and ISO 27001.
The company is a compliance portal and security monitoring platform that businesses use to assess their risk levels. Vanta carries out a pre-audit of a company's digital security and highlights areas that need to be worked on before a full analysis of all threats is carried out. Other businesses such as Datadog or PagerDuty offer similar security monitoring services, but Vanta monitors its customers throughout the year, allowing any issues to be identified and addressed early on.
Vanta's latest $150M raise, boosting its valuation to $4.15B, highlights the company's rapid growth and strong market position. With AI-driven automation, expanding government partnerships, and strategic acquisitions on the horizon, Vanta is scaling quickly while solving real customer problems. Backed by a talented leadership team and a growing customer base, the company looks set to continue its upward trajectory and build a lasting, sustainable business.
