How it feels to track down customer commitments

Most organizations have commitment issues. Like tracking all your customer obligations on sticky notes, Slack threads, email chains, screenshots, whiteboards, and spreadsheets. Why not save yourself the scavenger hunt and, you know, just use Vanta? Customer Commitments is a security intelligence layer that pulls critical SLAs out from legalese, and surfaces the commitments that actually matter with the Vanta AI Agent. Helping you centralize + operationalize every promise—so revenue and reputation aren’t on the line.

Turn every promise into predictable trust: Introducing Customer Commitments

Let’s face it, most businesses have commitment issues. Not the relationship kind (we can’t help you there), but the kind that shows up after a customer contract is signed. ‍ You make a promise to a customer—about response times, security practices, or data handling—but when an incident hits or it's time for your audit, no one can exactly remember what the organization promised, to whom, or by when. And if commitments go unmet, your revenue and reputation is at risk.

Automated evidence collection for compliance: All you need to know

Organizations today are expected to maintain continuous compliance with evolving security standards and regulations, resulting in an enormous volume of evidence. Manually collecting and managing substantial evidence documentation is not practical when controls and scrutiny increase. The process is slow, error-prone, difficult to scale, and takes your team away from high-value security tasks.

The Coming Regulatory Wave for AI Agents & Their APIs

For the past two years, the adoption of Generative AI has felt like a gold rush. Organizations raced to integrate Large Language Models and build autonomous agents to assist employees. They often bypassed standard governance processes in the name of speed and innovation. That era of unrestricted experimentation is rapidly drawing to a close. A massive regulatory wave is forming worldwide. Frameworks like the EU AI Act and the new ISO/IEC 42001 standard are forcing a corporate reckoning.

Why CISOs should prioritize continuous control monitoring in 2026

In a recent roundup of strategic initiatives for CISOs, I argued that continuous assurance is the 2026 operating model. Across all ten initiatives, the pattern was clear. Security is no longer being evaluated by effort, it’s being evaluated by outcomes. Boards, customers, and regulators are no longer asking what tools you deployed or how busy your security team is. They are asking a simpler, harder question: Can you prove that your controls are working right now?

Are there any real alternatives to Akeyless in 2026?

Akeyless has earned its place as one of the strongest cloud-native secrets management platforms available. Their Distributed Fragments Cryptography technology, FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certification, and native DevOps integrations make them a popular choice for teams migrating away from self-hosted HashiCorp Vault. But Akeyless is not the right fit for every use case. Akeyless alternatives like SplitSecure split secrets across devices instead of cloud servers which reduces vendor dependency, third party risk and custody concerns.

From Chaos to Clarity: Your Guide to Understanding and Identifying CUI

The webinar "From Chaos to Clarity: Your Guide to Understanding and Identifying CUI" focused on controlled unclassified information (CUI) and its importance for government contractors. Megan Kennett, from Neosystems, hosted the session, which featured experts Reagan Edens, Jim Goebel, and David Carlino. The panel discussed the basics of CUI, including its definition, types, and the lifecycle approach to managing it. They emphasized the need for contractors to understand their contractual obligations and the authorized flow of CUI.

ISO 27001: Nonconformity & Opportunity for Improvement

A key part of any security framework, from FedRAMP to ISO 27001, is enforcement. Putting out a set of standards is only as effective as the ability to penalize failure to comply. Within the ISO ecosystem, compliance is validated through the use of external audits. The auditors will evaluate your organization based on both ISO standards and other external factors, like regulatory requirements within your industry.

Empowering CISOs with AI: Discover powerful hopes and real risks

Artificial intelligence has become the ultimate paradox for today’s security leaders: it is simultaneously their sharpest new instrument and their biggest emerging attack surface. As boards push hard to “put AI everywhere,” CISOs must balance innovation with accountability, often in environments where AI pilots are already live before security is invited to the table.
