👀 Who invited Brandon?!
No one needs an unannounced drop-in right before audit day. But don't worry…if your auditors do pop by, Vanta has you covered.
Removing manual work. Continuously monitoring your controls. Ensuring you're always audit-ready.
According to IDC, companies using Vanta spend 82% less staff time per framework and attestation-related audit, so those pre-audit scaries? Totally optional.
Shout out to @yayalexisgay for the reality check. 👏
Why do the best CISOs always look so calm?
Not because the job is easy (it isn't).
But because the rest of the org looks to you for strength. You carry the “what if?” so they don't have to.
Behind the scenes, though, you're fighting rising AI risk, impossible expectations, endless audit prep, vendor sprawl—and a checklist that only grows.
CISOs: we see you, we salute you, and we'd like to introduce you to a little something we call Calm-pliance.
What's Calm-pliance?
It's the moment you realize you're not relying on memory, or outdated tools, or manual...anything anymore. Compliance, risk, and proof live right where you want them—clearly visible and all on one peaceful platform.
It's not about less responsibility, it's about less uncertainty.
And it's about feeling as calm...
...as they already think you are.
Announcing Vanta Trust Tour! 🌏
A new global event series for leaders building modern trust programs in the age of AI.
AI is shipping fast, and governance has to keep pace. Trust Tour brings security, risk, and GRC leaders together to explore:
🔘 Governing AI in regulated environments
🔘 Reducing audit fatigue through automation
🔘 Scaling trust without slowing the business
We’re heading to:
📍 Berlin
📍 New York City
📍 Sydney
📍 Paris
Join us on tour and compare notes with leaders navigating this in real time. Details at vanta.com/trust-tour
Turns out the best place to make the case for calm is in one of the most overwhelming intersection in NYC.
Thanks to the team at @nyse for spotlighting Calm-pliance in Times Square ✨
Trust Tour Berlin is wrapped 🇩🇪
We spent the afternoon with security and GRC leaders talking through what teams are navigating right now: AI in production, increasing customer scrutiny, and the realities of moving upmarket.
A few conversations we’re still thinking about:
🔹 Bringing AI into governance in ways that work well in practice
🔹 The growing complexity of selling into larger orgs
🔹 What’s changing in cybersecurity vs. what still comes back to fundamentals
Some of the best discussions happened over coffee, lunch, and drinks—big thanks to our speakers and everyone who spent the day with us!
We had few Vanta moms ask their kids what they think they do at work.
The answers ranged from:
“typing/emails”
to “being on calls”
to “I don’t know” (very confidently)
Which, honestly, isn’t too far off.
Behind every policy, product launch, and meeting is a mom doing a lot more than her kids know how to explain just yet.
Belated Happy Mother’s Day to moms everywhere 💜

On a rainy weekday in SF, we took over Little Sweet, brought in builders + beverages, and just... talked. ☕ 🌧️
It was a room full of founders and operators, asking questions about compliance, relating to one another on fundraising stress, and being open about their journey.
Calm-pliance Cafe was exactly what we'd hoped it would be.
Thanks for being there. 💜
NYC: we’re bringing the Vanta Trust Tour to you!🗽
If you’re in GRC / security, this isn’t a sit-back-and-listen kind of event.
We’re kicking things off with roundtable lunch convos (AI governance, third-party risk, internal programs—pick your lane), then getting into:
🍎 Live product demos with our CEO @christina + CPO @jeremyepling
🍎 A CISO panel on managing risk in regulated industries
🍎 AI governance playbooks (what’s actually working vs. what isn’t)
🍎 Third-party risk in an AI world (shadow AI, continuous monitoring, ISO 42001)
Then we close it out with drinks + actual conversation.
Come ready to compare notes, challenge ideas, and leave with something useful.

Friday: *security team removes app*
Monday: *employee reinstalls it*
Rinse and repeat—1,000x a year. 🫠
We analyzed data across 15K+ companies and the numbers are mind-blowing:
🚨 98% of Shadow IT vendors never get a security review
🚨 70% of companies have Shadow AI operating in their environment right now
🚨 LLM vendors are 52% more likely to be flagged "high risk" than traditional SaaS
Shadow AI is here, and it’s not going quietly. Check out the first drop from Trust Signals, our new Vanta data series, at the link in our bio!
