About

Vanta is a trust management platform that automates security compliance for companies seeking SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, PCI DSS, and other certifications — continuously monitoring security controls, collecting evidence automatically, and streamlining the audit process. Founded in 2018 by Christina Cacioppo and Fred Bloch in San Francisco, Vanta has raised over $250 million at a $1.6 billion valuation and serves thousands of companies — primarily high-growth SaaS startups that need compliance to close enterprise deals — making it the category leader in compliance automation.\n\nVanta connects to a company's cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure), identity providers (Okta, GSuite), code repositories (GitHub, GitLab), HR systems, and endpoint management tools to automatically collect compliance evidence. When an employee joins or leaves, Vanta automatically tracks whether access provisioning and de-provisioning is happening correctly. When a security scan runs, Vanta pulls the results as evidence. The platform then maps this collected evidence to the specific controls required for each compliance framework and alerts security owners when controls fall out of compliance.\n\nIn 2025, Vanta leads the compliance automation category, competing with Drata, Sprinto, Secureframe, and Tugboat Logic (OneTrust) for the growing market of companies that need compliance certifications to satisfy enterprise procurement requirements. The market has expanded beyond SOC 2 — Vanta's trust reports and vendor risk management products help companies share their security posture with customers and manage third-party vendor risks. The 2025 strategy emphasizes expanding beyond compliance into broader security and trust management, growing enterprise customer adoption (moving beyond startup-focused positioning), and launching AI-powered compliance gap remediation recommendations.

About

BuildSafe is a Stockholm-based construction safety management platform that digitizes safety inspections, incident reporting, risk assessments, and compliance documentation for construction contractors and project owners. The company was founded on the observation that construction remains one of the most injury-prone industries globally, yet safety management processes at many construction firms still rely on paper forms, spreadsheets, and email—creating documentation gaps that expose workers to risk and companies to regulatory and legal liability. BuildSafe provides a mobile-first platform that enables foremen and safety managers to conduct digital safety rounds, log near-misses and incidents, manage action items, and generate audit-ready safety reports from the job site.\n\nBuildSafe's inspection and observation workflows are configurable to the specific risk profiles of different construction activities—scaffolding, heavy lifting, excavation, electrical work, and confined space entry each carry distinct hazard profiles requiring tailored checklists. The platform allows safety managers to create custom inspection templates aligned with national safety regulations and company-specific standards, and tracks completion rates and outstanding corrective actions across multiple job sites simultaneously. When a hazardous condition is observed or an incident occurs, BuildSafe routes the report to the appropriate responsible party with automated follow-up reminders until the corrective action is documented as resolved.\n\nBuildSafe operates primarily in the European market, where construction safety regulation is increasingly stringent under EU directives and national frameworks, and has particular strength in the Nordic countries where construction digitalization has advanced rapidly. The company targets mid-market and large general contractors, infrastructure developers, and public sector project owners. BuildSafe competes with Assignar, Salus Technologies, and Procore's safety module in the construction safety management software segment, differentiating on its European regulatory alignment and its mobile-first design for field-based safety teams.
