By implementing Vanta, a noticeable streamlining of compliance results in automated security workflows and faster certifications such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and GDPR.

Introduction

Most organizations underestimate the cumbersome nature of this procedure and face recurring risks, stalling progress during audits. These mistakes must be ignored to take full advantage of Vanta – here Diginatives plays a significant part. The following are the five major implementation mistakes and the role of Diginatives in controlling and preventing these mistakes completely.

Treating Vanta as a “Set and Forget” Tool

Presuming Vanta handles to be 100% automated and compliant is mainly a misjudgment. Collection of evidence and monitoring control is Vanta automated, whereas companies must have a developed procedure for documentation, defined processes, and structured internal policies.

How Diginatives Fixes It:

The role of Diginatives in this regard is in providing complete policy development, process alignment, and guidance to ensure Vanta’s automated controls demonstrate the actual operative procedures. This helps in establishing compliance as an integral and continuous process rather than only during the audit activity. 

Poor Integration Setup and Misconfigurations

The strength of Vanta is achieved by the cohesion of HR systems with various tools, e.g., AWS, Azure, Google Workspace, GitHub, Jira, Okta, Slack. Most of the setups overlook the important integrations or design them inaccurately, which consequently leads to incomplete evidence or failing controls.

How Diginatives Fixes It:

A complete integration assessment is carried out by Diginatives, corroborating and authenticating all the controls. In this way, gaps are removed, wrong positive points are decreased, and full and reliable data can be provided to the auditors.

Not Assigning Clear Ownership for Controls

Companies usually rely on their in-house IT or compliance team to manage all things. In actuality, the controls involve HR, engineering, DevOps, operations, and leadership. Incomplete and delayed audit processes take place if the owners aren’t taken into the loop.

How Diginatives Fixes It:

The plan of action of Diginatives primarily relies on assigning the right members with the right tasks and setting up workflows, reminders, and responsibilities. This guarantees accountability, faster task completion, and smooth audit preparation.

Delaying Policy & Evidence Preparation

The scheme of compliance demands strong documentation—security policies, onboarding processes, risk assessments, vendor management, and more. Most organizations delay initiating the documentation process, which leads to rushed, incomplete, or misaligned policies.

How Diginatives Fixes It

Diginatives provides tailor-made policies that are compliant with your business scheme and fulfill the requirements of auditors. Diginatives also helps in pre-time preparation of evidence, which removes the struggle at the eleventh hour and makes audits result-oriented and easy.

Ignoring Region-Specific Compliance Needs

Multinational organizations, particularly those based in the UAE and the USA, often overlook regulatory models such as data localization laws, free-zone requirements, and industry-specific standards. It is a unified approach that results in non-compliant issues.

How Diginatives Fixes It

Diginatives offers customized Vanta implementations that align with local regulations, including UAE privacy laws, financial regulations, and US industry-specific requirements. Their area-based competence ensures your compliance program is accurate, defensible, and globally recognized.
