Vanta is a top-notch trust-management platform that facilitates the automation of compliance programs for companies over various frameworks like SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, etc. However, the true value of Vanta is unlocked when you connect it thoroughly with your technology stack: automatic proof gathering, continuous oversight, and hassle-free fixing.

Introduction

Vanta states that with more than 300 integrations, organizations can supervise nearly all aspects of their infrastructure. Listed below are some of the best integrations that Vanta offers, and which every innovative tech company should think about incorporating into their operations.

Cloud Providers (AWS, GCP, Azure)

The combination of Vanta and your cloud infrastructure is a major factor. Vanta will be able to map and watch your cloud accounts already by organizational connection (like AWS Organization, GCP Organization, or Azure Tenant). This will enable Vanta to monitor essential security controls — such as encryption, public storage buckets, and network configuration — and produce continuous proof of compliance with no manual intervention.

Identity Providers (IdP) — Okta, Google Workspace, Azure AD

Your identity provider represents the ultimate source of truth for user accounts, as it records who the users are, when they join or leave, and what their access rights are. Vanta’s partnership with IdPs like Okta enables both SAML authentication and SCIM provisioning. The synchronization of your IdP with Vanta provides:

• Automated access reviews,
• The marking of inactive or orphaned accounts, and
• The confirmation of deprovisioning during the offboarding process.

Version Control Systems (VCS) — GitHub, GitLab

Source code holds the central position for tech companies. Vanta collaborates with VCS tools like GitHub and GitLab to monitor code security practices. Vanta can automatically check branch protection rules, required code reviews, and access controls, leading to the creation of continuous audit trails without the need for manual documentation.

Task Trackers — Jira, Asana, Linear, and More

The moment Vanta spots a compliance test failure, it is not your wish to go through the whole process of manual remediation. Vanta by means of its task tracker integrations, has the capability to create tickets automatically in different systems like Jira, Asana, GitHub, GitLab, Linear, and others. The tickets created contain the issue’s context, the person(s) assigned to work on it, the steps to be taken for its resolution, and, what is more, Vanta will keep the ticket statuses in sync with your actual situation so that at any given moment you will know what has been fixed and what is still pending.

HRIS (Human Resource Information Systems)

Your HRIS (like Workday, BambooHR, Gusto, and Rippling) usually has the most precise employee lifecycle information necessary. When you connect it with Vanta, not only will you have compliance-related personnel data like start dates, end dates, and role changes being synced automatically, but you will also be able to make sure that offboarding controls are properly enforced and auditors receive reliable, updated evidence for controls related to staff.

MDM (Mobile Device Management) — e.g., Jamf, Intune

For compliance to be maintained, endpoint security is a must, especially if firms are distributing their workforces across different locations. Vanta enables companies to integrate with MDM software to monitor if the devices are following the security policies: e.g., encryption of disk, screen lock, firewall, and so on. This ensures that there is automatic evidence gathering along with continuous monitoring of devices, which is a common requirement from the auditor’s side.

CrowdStrike (Endpoint Protection & Vulnerability Monitoring)

The integration between Vanta and CrowdStrike Falcon is very beneficial. By this, Vanta can:

• Get vulnerability data from CrowdStrike Spotlight,
• Make sure that the software of CrowdStrike is present on every workstation and cloud instance, and
• Ensure that the access to CrowdStrike by users is in accordance with your identity policies.

Such a close cooperation allows controlling not only endpoint protection, vulnerability management, but also access reviews, which are all critical for SOC 2, ISO 27001, and other similar standards.

API / Custom Integrations

In case your organization is using some proprietary or less common tools, Vanta is still able to provide private or custom integrations through its API. In addition, for larger corporations that have several instances of the same system, for example, multiple AWS accounts or GitHub orgs, Vanta allows multi-instance integration, thus giving more widespread and flexible coverage.

Conclusion

Continuous compliance is not merely a matter of “setting and forgetting” – rather, it is a matter of very closely connecting your compliance platform with your operating systems. Through the implementation of the leading Vanta integrations mentioned above, companies in the tech sector will be able to not only collect evidence automatically but also apply controls instantly and, thus, significantly reduce the workload of audits and remediation. What is the outcome? A more secure environment, quicker audits, and maintaining trust with customers and partners in the long run.
