As your organization grows the demands on the security team increase. Many of these new demands come from prospects and customers doing their due diligence about the security measures your business has in place. Your team is then left struggling to balance a growing number of security questionnaires and customer requests while managing your everyday responsibilities.

The pace and complexity of AI technologies is increasing every day. In this rapidly changing environment, it’s critical for companies to adopt a rigorous approach to safely and responsibly incorporating AI into their products and processes. ‍ That’s why we’re excited to announce that the NIST AI Risk Management Framework (RMF) is now available in beta.

Today we’re excited to share several milestones as we continue on our mission to secure the internet and protect consumer data. ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ And we’re just getting started. ‍ As we continue to reimagine GRC tools for the future of trust, we’ve built enterprise-ready features and rolled out additional Vanta AI capabilities along with support for the NIST AI Risk Management Framework. ‍ ‍

Conducting regular user access reviews is an effective way to make sure your organization is securing access to critical systems and third-party vendors.

Technical vulnerabilities are areas of weakness in your source code or infrastructure that attackers could potentially exploit. It’s important for your business to address its technical vulnerabilities to protect itself from these types of threats, in addition to gaining or maintaining compliance with SOC 2 and ISO 27001. ‍ For many of these standards, you’re required to have vulnerability scanners running to ensure you’re continuously monitoring for new threats.

The number of tools organizations use is growing everyday. According to Zylo 2023 SaaS Management Index Report, the average organization has 291 SaaS applications in their tech stack — a number which only increases as your organization grows. The more tools that are added to your tech stack, the more third-party risk your business incurs.
