About Vanta
Vanta pioneered automated compliance. Like Drata, it acts as a read-only auditor of your tech stack. Proper integration is key to passing audits; Vanta needs read access to your cloud infrastructure, ticketing systems, and identity providers to automatically generate the 'evidence' auditors require.
Integration Capabilities
Vanta has 6 native integrations in its API directory. This page focuses only on guides we publish and maintain.
How Vanta Integrations Usually Work
Start with the implementation model, not the connector. We map each pair by intent so you can decide if native sync is enough or if this workflow needs stronger controls.
Direct Paths
3
Native in at least one direction.
Connector Paths
3
Usually require mapping, retries, or approval gates.
Most Vanta integrations are built for Standard setup use cases. Open any guide below to see the recommended setup path and cost estimate.
Recommended Build Path for Vanta
These are the only partners recommended on this hub, selected from workflow intent and risk signals. Use one path first, then expand only if your use case truly needs it.
Recommended for Approval Workflows: Relay
Some high-impact updates should be reviewed before they write into downstream systems, especially for finance, support, and compliance flows.
Relay adds human checkpoints and audit history without slowing every automation down. Free plan available — most teams are live in under an hour.
Try Relay free — set up in 60 min →Recommended for Data Control: n8n
Some workflows need private hosting, stricter access boundaries, or deeper technical control than a default cloud connector can offer.
n8n is open-source and self-hostable — your data never leaves your infrastructure. Free to self-host; cloud plans start at $20/mo.
Try n8n free — open source →If your workflow is fully native and low risk, skip paid automation and keep the stack simple.
Common Integration Patterns
- - Automated Audits: Similar to Drata, connects to cloud/SaaS to prove 'Encryption at Rest' and 'MFA Enabled'.
- - Access Reviews: Pulls user lists from GitHub, Salesforce, and AWS to help managers perform quarterly access reviews.
- - Vendor Risk Management: Storing vendor security reviews in Vanta and linking them to procurement workflows.
Integration Challenges
- - Scope Creep: Vanta scans *everything* it can see. Connecting it to a messy Google Drive can surface thousands of 'unsecured' documents irrelevant to the audit.
- - Background Check Sync: Matching background check reports (Checkr) to user profiles often fails if email addresses don't match exactly.
- - GitHub Permissions: Requires Organization Owner access to scan settings, which Engineering leads are often hesitant to grant.
Before You Integrate
- 1. Scope Your Policy: Define which repositories and S3 buckets are 'In Scope' for SOC 2 before connecting Vanta to reduce noise.
- 2. Link Identity Provider: Ensure Google Workspace or Okta is the primary source of truth for user lists.
- 3. Review SLA Settings: Configure the SLA for closing vulnerability tickets (e.g., Critical = 24h) to match your actual engineering capacity.

Vanta — Common Questions
What does Vanta integrate with natively? ▼
Vanta has 350+ native integrations across cloud (AWS, GCP, Azure), identity (Okta, Entra ID, Google Workspace), HRIS (Rippling, BambooHR, Workday, Gusto), MDM (Jamf, Kandji, Intune), code (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket), ticketing (Jira, Linear), and monitoring tools. Each integration auto-collects evidence for SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, and other frameworks.
Does Vanta have an API for custom integrations? ▼
Yes. Vanta's Public API covers tests, integrations, personnel, vendors, and risks. Webhooks fire on test failures and control events. For tools without native Vanta connectors, push custom evidence via the API. Useful when you have an internal compliance system or a niche SaaS tool not in the catalog.
How does Vanta compare to Drata and Secureframe? ▼
Vanta has the largest install base and brand recognition for SOC 2 startups — "the default". Drata is closing the gap with a strong UI and policy module. Secureframe differentiates on hands-on customer success. Functionality across the three is similar enough that switching costs (re-integrating evidence sources) are usually the bigger consideration than feature differences.
How do I keep Vanta evidence current after the initial setup? ▼
Most of it stays current automatically — the integrations re-poll on a schedule. The manual parts are: personnel training (employees must complete; assign reminders in Slack), policy acknowledgements (annual re-sign), vendor reviews (annual), and risk assessments (annual or on change). Set calendar reminders or use Vanta's built-in due-date notifications to avoid the audit-week scramble.
