AI company Vanta secures $150 million in Series D funding, valuing the business at $4.15 billion, for its AI-centered platform focusing on trust management.
In a significant move, Vanta, an innovative AI-driven trust management platform, has announced a series of game-changing innovations aimed at addressing the challenges faced by Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) and security teams.
## Key Innovations
One of the most significant advancements is the introduction of Vanta's AI Agent, an automated tool that streamlines policy management and real-time inconsistency detection. Acting as a policy chatbot, the AI Agent swiftly answers compliance-related questions and integrates with engineering tools to expedite remediation, saving some teams up to 12 hours weekly.
Vanta's platform also boasts continuous compliance monitoring, performing over 1,200 control checks hourly. This proactive approach replaces traditional point-in-time audits with real-time actionable intelligence. The platform integrates with over 375 tools, simplifying compliance setup by automating evidence collection.
Dynamic Trust Centers are another key feature, allowing companies to display their real-time security posture to stakeholders. This transformation of compliance into a business asset differentiates organisations in the market.
## Expansion of Capabilities
Over the past year, Vanta has significantly expanded its features. Notable additions include Vanta for Marketplaces, designed to help ecosystem leaders manage trust among partners, and support for additional compliance frameworks like FedRAMP and NIST 800-53. The acquisition of Riskey has also enhanced Vanta's vendor security review capabilities with AI-driven, continuous assessments.
## Impact and Leadership
The impact of Vanta's innovations is evident in the success stories of its clients. Companies such as Icelandair, Intercom, Mistral AI, Omni Hotels, and Salvation Army Australia now utilise Vanta to build and demonstrate trust. Duolingo, for instance, is saving 12 hours weekly and hundreds of thousands of dollars through AI-powered Vendor Risk Management (VRM) provided by Vanta. Snowflake is accelerating manual customer due diligence with their Compliance Center, powered by Vanta.
The IDC MarketScape has recognised Vanta as a leader in the 2025 IDC MarketScape for worldwide GRC software, highlighting its comprehensive solutions for managing security and compliance efficiently. Vanta's growth potential and leadership in the GRC software market are further underscored by its $150 million Series D funding at a $4.15 billion valuation.
With the total funds raised now amounting to $504 million, Vanta continues to lead the way in AI-driven trust management, enabling over 400 partners to achieve compliance milestones and showcase trust via Trust Centers provided by Vanta. The future of GRC and security management is undoubtedly AI-driven, and Vanta is at the forefront of this revolution.
