Outsourcing Compliance for Businesses

Outsourcing time-consuming administrative tasks, especially compliance work, can significantly enhance business efficiency. Compliance with standards such as GDPR, SOC 2, and ISO 27001 is essential for closing deals, though not the core focus of running a business. Vanta automates up to 90% of security compliance tasks, enabling businesses to prepare for audits in a matter of weeks rather than months. This approach saves time and costs, allowing business owners to focus on growth and operations rather than bureaucratic hurdles.
