Accelerating security solutions for small businesses 

Tagore offers strategic services to small businesses. 

A partnership that can scale 

Tagore prioritized finding a managed compliance partner with an established product, dedicated support team, and rapid release rate.

Standing out from competitors

Tagore's partnership with Vanta enhances its strategic focus and deepens client value, creating differentiation in a competitive market.

Vanta's AI-powered trust management platform centralizes key program areas, reduces manual efforts with automation, and continuously monitors your GRC program to drive measurable business impact. Recently, Vanta was named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Governance, Risk, and Compliance Software Vendor Assessment 2025 (Doc # US53615325, June 2025).

The IDC MarketScape assesses the competitive landscape, analyzing qualitative and quantitative criteria to evaluate GRC vendors. This recognition comes on the heels of other exciting accolades, including our placement on the Forbes Cloud 100 and Fast Company’s Most Innovative Company lists, highlighting our critical focus on compliance in the age of AI. 

The IDC MarketScape noted, “The Vanta platform has numerous strengths, but primarily, the Vanta platform offers immediate time to value and reduced need to continuously add staff to the GRC program.” 

“We believe being named a Leader by the IDC MarketScape is a meaningful acknowledgment of the work we've done to redefine how businesses approach security and compliance. We further believe this distinction reflects the strength of our platform, and validates the impact of our approach in helping companies build trust at scale.”
-Jeremy Epling, Chief Product Officer, Vanta

A modern GRC solution for scaling teams

Traditionally, GRC teams struggle with manual workflows and outdated technology that limits visibility across their program—providing only point-in-time insights. The result? Control gaps that increase risk and tons of time (11 hours per week) spent on manual compliance tasks versus more impactful security work. In today’s complex and ever-evolving risk environment—that’s simply not sustainable. 

As companies scale, it’s harder to keep up with regulatory changes, manage third-party risk, and answer an influx of security questionnaires. 

To stay ahead, security teams need to manage GRC and customer trust in a single place and leverage automation, AI, and continuous monitoring to improve security outcomes. 

Vanta streamlines compliance, internal risk, third-party risk, and customer trust, enabling security teams to centralize workflows, reduce manual effort, and deliver measurable business impact with: 

  • Automated control monitoring and evidence collection to reduce manual workflows that prevent teams from focusing on more high impact security work
  • Support for 35+ frameworks including SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI, GDPR and ISO 42001—enabling teams to cross-map controls and avoid duplicative work
  • Integrated risk management with built-in workflows to aid collaboration and assign ownership over mitigation tasks
  • A unified Report Center to prove your program’s progress, connect GRC workflows to revenue impact, and enable more risk-informed decision making
  • Powerful Trust Center and Questionnaire Automation tools to demonstrate trust at scale and complete security questionnaires faster
  • The Vanta AI Agent, which autonomously handles some of the most time-consuming and error-prone GRC workflows, including policy management and evidence evaluation for audit preparation

High ROI and improved efficiency 

The value of Vanta is clear. Today, more than 11,000 customers rely on Vanta to build, maintain, and demonstrate trust across their operations and an IDC White Paper, sponsored by Vanta, recently found* that Vanta helps customers achieve a 526% return on investment over three years, with an average payback period of around three months. Our platform also improves efficiency. Customers experience 129% more productive compliance teams, with 142% more framework and attestation-related audits prepared per year. 

“Vanta’s platform is purpose-built to reduce the manual burden on compliance and security teams through automation and intelligent workflows. Their rapid customer payback period and continued expansion into enterprise-ready capabilities position them as a compelling choice for organizations looking to elevate their trust programs.”
-Phil Harris, Research Director, Governance, Risk and Compliance, IDC
