Inside Vanta

Hybrid

Automated security compliance — SOC 2 in weeks, not months.

Vanta automates security compliance for companies that need to pass SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, and other audits. Founded in 2018 by Christina Cacioppo (ex-Dropbox, a16z), Vanta built the category for continuous security monitoring and automated evidence collection. Instead of spending months manually gathering screenshots and documentation for an audit, companies connect their cloud infrastructure to Vanta and the platform continuously monitors compliance posture. Their $150M Series D closed July 2025, bringing total funding to over $380M. 108 open roles across engineering, sales, and customer success.

Common misconception

Q: What does Vanta do? A: Vanta automates security compliance — specifically the audit process for SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and other frameworks. Companies connect their cloud infrastructure, SaaS tools, and code repos to Vanta, which continuously monitors security controls and generates the evidence auditors need. Q: Who is the founder? A: Christina Cacioppo, previously a partner at Andreessen Horowitz and an engineer at Dropbox. She started Vanta after personally experiencing how painful the SOC 2 process was for startups. The company is founder-led with a clear product vision. Q: How mature is the product? A: Very mature — Vanta has been in the market since 2018 and has scaled to hundreds of employees and thousands of customers. Engineers are building on top of a proven platform, not rebuilding the core. Q: What roles are open? A: 108 roles across engineering (platform, integrations, AI), enterprise sales, customer success, and operations. Integration engineers are in high demand as Vanta expands its connector library. Q: What is the market size? A: Security compliance is a large and growing market. Every company that handles customer data needs to prove security posture to enterprise buyers — and that process is universally painful without automation.
