Artificial intelligence-powered trust management company Vanta Inc. today announced a new set of capabilities that embeds AI across core compliance and risk workflows.

The new capabilities unify policy management with Vanta AI Agent, offer continuous monitoring for vendors and provide risk oversight and deeper integrations that give security leaders a single system to record to act on risk before it escalations.

The new capabilities seek to address the issue whereby risk management solutions are often fragmented across different siloed tools, teams and manual processes. Vanta argues that the disjointed approach keeps teams reactive, with critical risks often going unnoticed until it’s too late, slowing audits, delaying deals and leaving organizations exposed.

Vanta’s new capabilities have been designed to deal with fragmentation by embedding agentic AI into policy and evidence workflow and in doing so, centralizing risk registers into enterprise rollups. The idea is that with one system of record, organizations can smoothly operate and leaders gain visibility and proactive control. The result delivers reduced manual reporting, accelerates audits and strengthens trust.

“Organizations have long struggled with fragmented systems and reactive reviews,” said Chief Product Officer Jeremy Epling. “By embedding AI in policy workflows and unifying risk oversight across registers and vendors, we are changing how security teams operate.”

The Vanta AI Agent is now embedded in organizational context to manage policy workflows and is able to generate audit-ready policies, execute bulk updates across entire libraries and validate documentation for completeness. With the new capabilities, Vanta automates the most time-consuming tasks and keeps organizations continuously audit-ready by extending the same proactive intelligence that already flags gaps in evidence and service level agreement inconsistencies.

The new capabilities also offer a centralized, proactive approach to risk management, aligning business functions up to and through the boardroom.

New features include Multiple Risk Registers that allow organizations to structure risk management around their business units, with tailored views and risks for each function or category. A complementary feature called Enterprise Risk Rollups then consolidates those registers into a unified, real-time dashboard for executive-level visibility.

For vendor risk management, Vanta is offering continuous oversight, real-time vendor monitoring and triggering alerts based on configurable thresholds. Through continuous monitoring and alerts, summaries streamline questionnaires and surface key findings, ensuring vendor risks are identified proactively and that organizations can take immediate action.

Lastly, Vanta has also enhanced its Slack integration for security workflows with the ability to embed security workflows directly into the tools employees already use. Teams can submit and approve access requests, respond to reviews and questionnaires and receive timely notifications all without leaving Slack.

Vanta was previously in the news in July when it announced it had raised $150 million in new funding to accelerate AI innovation and expansion into new markets, including third-party risk and government compliance. The Series D round was led by Wellington Management Co. LLP and included Growth Equity at Goldman Sachs Alternatives, Sequoia Capital Operations, J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., Craft Ventures Management, Y Combinator, Atlassian Ventures and CrowdStrike Ventures.
