Agentic compliance that runs itself

Compliance shouldn’t become your CTO’s second job. The Vanta Agent acts as your compliance co-founder, handling the heavy lifting while your team stays focused on building.

Grounded in 26,000+ audits and Vanta’s in-house GRC expertise, the Vanta Agent produces audit-ready drafts of policies, risk registers, vendor reviews, cloud security measures, and other core requirements. It also surfaces what needs attention, so your team can review, approve, and keep moving without slowing product development or adding compliance to the roadmap.

Every output is tailored to your business and grounded in continuously validated data from The Trust Graph, the market’s deepest data and intelligence layer, rather than generic templates or disconnected AI responses.

Vanta is also built for the way YC teams work. Through Vanta’s remote MCP server, full REST API, and native integrations with Claude, Codex, Cursor, and more, compliance moves forward directly inside the tools your team already uses to build, ship, and operate.
