Vanta Integration

This guide will show you how to securely send data from Indent to Vanta. Once complete, you'll have a repeatable way to fulfill a major part of your SOC 2 and other auditory compliance. Additionally, the Vanta API Integration means Indent users will automatically sync with Vanta, so that those users can be cross-referenced more easily with the audit logs.

  • Centralize your compliance and security source of truth
  • Sync users and roles into Vanta for easier reviews
  • Be ready for access reviews anytime, with auto-expiring access requests
  • Easily generate all the data needed for an audit and access review

Questions

Why can't I see the Audit section?

Audit logs are restricted to the Editor role. Contact your Indent Admin, and they should be able to grant temporary access or get the export on your behalf.

Will this integration be automated at some point?

We're thinking about it! If this is an important feature for you, please reach out to your contact at Indent and let us know!
