I had an awesome time sitting down with Jeremy to talk about how Vanta is using AI and unified entity context to completely revolutionize security and compliance management. We dove deep into the shift toward proactive, agent-driven workflows and wrapped up by hyping some exciting upcoming community events, including our meetups in Vegas and VantaCon.
What we talk about:
The Trust Graph and Unified Context: How bringing together data from over 400 integrations, business goals, and personnel creates a powerful, centralized brain for AI to understand your company's actual risk posture.
The Vanta Agent in Action: Taking AI out of standalone dashboards and putting it directly where teams already work—like Slack, Claude, and coding environments like Cursor—to automate access reviews, security questionnaires, and contract analysis.
Proactive Security and Loop Engineering: Shifting from reactive compliance to continuous monitoring, where AI acts as a companion that spots deviations from your "ideal state" and helps manage the transition to fix them.
Aligning Compliance with Business OKRs: How AI can map out the exact security requirements, controls, and workflows needed when your business decides to tackle massive goals, like expanding into a brand-new region.
Building the GRC Community: Exciting upcoming opportunities to connect and share industry best practices, including meetups in Vegas, the community slack group, and the massive VantaCon event happening in San Francisco.
