Vanta, the leading AI-powered trust management platform, today announced it has been named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Governance, Risk, and Compliance Software 2025 Vendor Assessment (doc # US53615325, June 2025). According to the IDC MarketScape, “Vanta's comprehensive solutions enable businesses to manage their security and compliance needs efficiently, fostering trust and transparency across their operations. The company's commitment to automating and simplifying security and compliance has made it a trusted partner for organizations worldwide.”

Vanta’s Trust Management Platform automates and continuously monitors all aspects of a company’s GRC program, including compliance, internal risk, third-party risk and customer trust. Vanta enables security teams to centralize workflows, reduce manual effort and deliver measurable business impact. An IDC White Paper, sponsored by Vanta, found that Vanta helped customers achieve a 526% return on investment over three years, with an average payback period of around three months.*¹

“Vanta’s platform is purpose-built to reduce the manual burden on compliance and security teams through automation and intelligent workflows,” said Phil Harris, Research Director, Governance, Risk and Compliance at IDC. “Their rapid customer payback period and continued expansion into enterprise-ready offerings position them as a compelling choice for organizations looking to elevate their trust programs.”

Vanta also delivers measurable impact in its AI-powered security and compliance offerings. Since launching Vanta AI in 2023, the company has expanded its capabilities to help teams work more efficiently and reduce risk. In June 2025, Vanta introduced the Vanta AI Agent to autonomously handle some of the most time-consuming and error-prone GRC workflows, including policy management and evidence evaluation for audit preparation. Earlier this year, Vanta released its AI Security Assessment to guide customers on the responsible use of AI and became one of the first companies to achieve ISO 42001 certification, reinforcing its commitment to building trust in AI systems.

By automating over 35 frameworks in addition to trust center management, questionnaire automation and vendor risk management, Vanta is helping businesses meet complex compliance requirements while improving efficiency, reducing operational overhead and strengthening collaboration across teams and stakeholders. The IDC MarketScape noted, “The Vanta platform has numerous strengths, but primarily, the Vanta platform offers immediate time to value and reduced need to continuously add staff to the GRC program.”

The IDC White Paper also found that with Vanta, customers experience 129% more productive compliance teams, with 142% more framework and attestation-related audits prepared per year.*²

IDC’s MarketScape recognition of Vanta is the latest honor for the company, which includes the Forbes Cloud 100 and Fast Company’s Most Innovative Company lists, highlighting its critical focus on compliance in the age of AI. Vanta was also named to Inc. Magazine’s Best Workplaces for 2025 and featured on Forbes’ 2025 list of Best Startup Employers—underscoring its continued impact across innovation, growth and culture.
