Yes, Vanta has a native integration with Slack. It is available directly within the Vanta app marketplace.
Yes. This integration typically uses OAuth 2.0, meaning you grant permission via a secure login window. You do not need to share your raw password, and you can revoke access at any time from your Vanta security settings.
This is typically a one-way sync: Vanta → Slack. Changes in Slack do not sync back to Vanta.
Usually, no. Most native integrations are "forward-looking," meaning they only sync data created or updated *after* you activate the connection. To move historical data, you will likely need to perform a one-time CSV export/import manually.
