New agentic features supercharge security team impact across policy onboarding, SLA remediation, policy question support and evidence evaluation
Vanta, the pioneering AI-powered trust management platform, has introduced the Vanta AI Agent, a next-generation solution designed to revolutionize how security and compliance teams manage their Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) workflows. This launch represents a significant advancement in the role of AI within trust management, enabling teams to reduce human error and increase efficiency by autonomously managing entire GRC processes while ensuring visibility and control remain intact.
Building on the success of Vanta AI, launched in 2023, the new AI Agent expands Vanta’s capabilities beyond automation of manual tasks. Vanta AI already powers over 80% of security questionnaire responses with an acceptance rate of up to 95% accelerating security reviews by 81%. The Vanta AI Agent goes a step further by evolving from a productivity assistant to an intelligent partner capable of identifying issues, resolving inconsistencies, and proactively driving compliance actions across policies, audits, vendor assessments, and more.
“The Vanta AI Agent complements my team’s expertise by filling in knowledge gaps, helping us learn faster and double-checking critical information ultimately saving us 12 hours weekly. And in our organization, time is money,” said Anne Simpson, Head of Privacy, Security, & Compliance at Databook.

Currently in private beta with general availability expected in July, the Vanta AI Agent launches with capabilities that automate time-consuming tasks such as policy management and evidence evaluation for audits. These features empower security teams to expand their compliance efforts without increasing headcount, allowing for scalable growth.
In the months ahead, Vanta plans to extend the AI Agent’s reach across more of its platform including risk oversight and comprehensive security reviews. By interconnecting every element of a company’s compliance ecosystem, the AI Agent ensures data consistency, simplifies management, and boosts collaboration with real-time insights and centralized control.
“AI has promised productivity gains for years, but it can be difficult to know where to begin,” said Jeremy Epling, Chief Product Officer at Vanta. “We built the Vanta AI Agent to meet teams exactly where they are, stepping in during the most manual parts of compliance and surfacing issues they may not catch on their own across policies, audit, controls, vendors, questionnaires and more. By minimizing human error and taking on repetitive tasks, the Vanta AI Agent enables teams to focus on higher-value work the work that truly builds trust. Today’s launch is just the beginning of how we’re using intelligent agents to reduce complexity, keep their entire GRC and Trust program in sync, and reshape how companies manage compliance and security at scale.”
Key Capabilities of the Vanta AI Agent
Streamlined Policy Management
The AI Agent scans uploaded policies to extract key information – including titles, version histories, and SLAs and automatically maps them to relevant security and compliance controls. It offers clear rationale behind each recommendation, significantly reducing time spent on manual mapping. Additionally, the AI Agent generates ready-to-edit change summaries to simplify annual policy reviews.
Fast Detection of Policy Inconsistencies
As compliance programs grow in complexity, misalignments between documented policies and system settings can emerge. The Vanta AI Agent proactively identifies discrepancies – particularly SLA mismatches – flagging them and suggesting corrective actions before they escalate into audit issues.
Instant Answers to Compliance Questions
Teams can query the AI Agent for immediate insights into topics such as password policies, vendor risk criteria, or certifications like SOC 2 and ISO 27001. This instant access to reliable information removes friction from daily operations and strategic planning.
Audit Readiness Through Smart Evidence Verification
By analyzing uploaded documentation, the Vanta AI Agent ensures audit evidence is complete and aligned with relevant requirements. It identifies missing elements and outdated files early, helping avoid delays and reducing auditor back-and-forth.
With the Vanta AI Agent, organizations can achieve smarter, faster, and more consistent compliance – transforming the traditional GRC landscape into a more agile, AI-powered trust framework.
