Vanta

Earlier this month, we had the chance to sit down with 11 security leaders and members of Vanta's EMEA Product Advisory Board. We came away with a lot to think about: → AI is creating more work before it reduces it → Remediation is still where compliance programs stall → AI governance is about access, authorisation, and proof, not just security → Third Party Risk Management needs to be continuous. Hearing directly from the people doing this work every day is what helps us build better. Thank you to everyone who joined us in London, we're grateful for your time and candor.

Builders 🤝 Vanta Our all-new Developer Hub is live! We’ve got guides for custom integrations, AI tooling, reporting, and more, plus a built-in AI agent to help you get straight to what you need. Customers are already using Vanta to build crazy cool things like automated remediation workflows, custom reporting, and on-prem monitoring... 🛠️ What are you building next? https://lnkd.in/gRkrXsgM

Sometimes unlimited tokens and rippin' guitar riffs can't solve every problem. The best builders know what NOT to build. Vibe coding might cut down on time, but that's only a fraction (20%) of the total software lifecycle cost. The other 70–80%? Maintenance, security patches, compliance updates. The slow grind of keeping it alive in production. When it comes to something as complex and critical as keeping your security airtight, depth wins over speed every time. New episode of Security Theater with Alexis Gay just dropped!👇

📆 One week out. AI is deepening risk faster than most GRC teams can keep up. New vendors to assess. New attack surfaces to monitor. New compliance requirements to meet. And it's all happening in real time. (Your quarterly audit schedule is feeling very quarterly right now.) Join Vanta Founder Christina Cacioppo, CPO Jeremy Epling, and Pendo.io CISO Chuck Kesler on June 3rd to see how Vanta handles this new reality. You'll see live demos of what we've been building, hear how the risk landscape is evolving in the age of AI, and leave with a clear framework for evaluating whether your tools can scale, or if it's time to rethink them. 📅 June 3, 2026 | 9 AM PT | 12 PM ET | 5 PM GMT Don't miss out, register now! https://bit.ly/4nqb4G5

Vanta has been named a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: Governance, Risk, and Compliance Platforms, Q2 2026, in our first inclusion in the evaluation. We’re incredibly excited about this recognition and what we feel it says about the work our team has been building toward. In the report, Forrester recognized our continuous controls monitoring capabilities, ease of implementation, broad integrations, and embedded AI agents that perform “high-impact tasks beyond basic summarization or content generation.” We’re especially proud to be recognized in an evaluation that addresses Continuous Risk Management alongside long-established GRC vendors. To us, it reflects where security and compliance are heading: more automated, more continuous, and increasingly AI-enabled. Read the full report: https://lnkd.in/dcU5nmja

Rails. Mobile. Cloud. AI. Every wave comes with the same instinct: “We should just build this ourselves!” Shannon Hogue, Vanta’s Head of Global Solutions Engineering, breaks down the costs teams tend to underestimate, and why owning software is very different from shipping it.

We’re headed to AICPA ENGAGE next month! Not-so-fun fact: Audits still involve a surprising amount of screenshots, follow-up emails, scattered evidence, and portal hopping... especially once multiple teams, frameworks, and clients are involved. That’s a big part of what we’ll be talking about at ENGAGE this year: making the audit experience less fragmented for both firms and their clients. We’ll be sharing how audit firms are using Vanta to centralize evidence, streamline collaboration, and make audits easier to manage at scale. If you’ll be in Vegas June 8-11, come find us at booth 1215. 🦙

Who's really thinking about how AI changes risk management? On June 3rd, you'll hear from three people living this reality every day: Christina Cacioppo, Founder & CEO, Vanta: Built Vanta into the leading trust platform serving 16,000+ customers. She's seen firsthand how AI is transforming risk—and how most GRC programs aren't keeping up.

Chuck Kesler, CISO, Pendo.io: Managing risk for a fast-growing SaaS company. As he puts it: "Risk does not sleep. We can't rely on a once-a-year annual risk assessment and say we're done." 📆 See it live on June 3, 2026 | 9 AM PT | 12 PM ET | 5 PM GMT Register: https://bit.ly/4nqb4G5

SNL photographer Mary Ellen Matthews called Vanta's creative team genius. And we caught it on film. Calm-pliance was Vanta's first campaign built for an upmarket audience, which meant a real moment of truth for our brand: do we dial back our signature wink and go serious? B2B companies often assume enterprise buyers only respond to buttoned-up, jargon-heavy, fear-based advertising. At Vanta, we (ahem) know what they say about assuming. 👀 CISOs are people. People with real stress and real responsibilities. But that doesn't mean they don't have a real sense of humor. Calm-pliance, photographed by Mary Ellen Mathews herself, launched two months ago across billboards, subway stations, and buses in New York City and San Francisco, at events worldwide, and across the internet. We went big. We kept the wink. Our biggest takeaway (aside from the fact that our creative team is genius)? CISOs most definitely have a sense of humor. Please enjoy this behind-the-scenes look at the making of Calm-pliance. There may or may not be a live llama involved.
