Our take
The security auditing process can be time-consuming, making it difficult for businesses (especially startups) to undertake. Yet, the benefits of security accreditation are enormous, especially as many businesses are working globally and need ways to demonstrate security compliance to one another.
Vanta works alongside businesses of any size, from startup to enterprise, to help them complete and pass security audits such as SOC 2 and ISO 27001. Its AI-powered platform handles compliance, risk management and auditing, as well as permissions and trust-based analytics - making it a one-stop-shop for customers to shore up their security and prove trust when they need to.
The company has raised considerable funding and earned a valuation of over $4 billion, which highlights both its rapid growth and strong market position. Backed by a talented leadership team and a growing customer base, Vanta looks set to continue its upward trajectory and build a lasting, sustainable business. Testament to this, in 2026 it announced it had crossed $300 million in annual recurring revenue.
