Vanta, a leading AI-powered trust management platform, has raised $150 million in a Series D funding round, bringing its valuation to $4.15 billion. The investment, led by Wellington Management and including participation from CrowdStrike Ventures, Goldman Sachs Alternatives, JPMorgan Chase, Atlassian Ventures, and Sequoia Capital, brings Vanta’s total funds raised to $504 million since 2021 [1].

Vanta, which began in 2018 helping startups automate SOC 2, has evolved into a full-stack AI trust management platform used by companies of every size, from seed-stage to the Fortune 50. The platform supports zero-touch verification across a broad set of compliance and security controls, offering built-in tools for vendor risk management, access reviews, and risk management, as well as Trust Centers for real-time transparency. Vanta’s AI-powered innovations, such as the AI Agent and AI Questionnaire Automation, have significantly streamlined security reviews, saving teams up to 12 hours per week [1].

The new funding will accelerate Vanta’s AI innovation and expansion into new areas like third-party risk and government compliance. Vanta’s CEO Christina Cacioppo stated, “We started Vanta with a simple belief: if we made it easier to share trust between businesses, all companies could grow faster and more securely. Today, we’re helping businesses earn and prove trust—enabling over 12,000 companies to scale security and GRC the way they scale software” [1].

In addition to its commercial success, Vanta has made significant strides in government compliance. The company recently received its FedRAMP 20x Low Authorization, joining the first cohort of cloud service providers to successfully complete the FedRAMP 20x Phase One Pilot program. This authorization underscores Vanta’s commitment to supporting the U.S. public sector mission and simplifying compliance for commercial technology adoption in government [2].

Vanta’s impact is evident in its customer base, which includes over 12,000 companies across 58 countries. The platform has demonstrated a 526% ROI over three years, with customers achieving 129% more productive compliance teams and 142% more framework and attestation-related audits prepared per year [1].
