Vendor Risk Management Software
Vanta: features, pricing and who it fits
Vanta treats vendor risk as an extra layered over its compliance plans for SOC 2 and ISO 27001. Questionnaire automation allows 25 per year at the Plus level and 144 at Professional, while continuous monitoring and AI-driven security reviews cost more. Reviewers name price as the main barrier.
Who Vanta is for
Best for
- Companies already buying Vanta for SOC 2 or ISO 27001 that want vendor review in the same tool
- Small security teams who want AI-assisted questionnaire handling
Look elsewhere if
- Buyers who only want standalone vendor risk management, since key TPRM features are paid add-ons
- Small budgets: reviewers cite cost as the main barrier
