Pricing Designed for Enterprise Customers | ||
Pricing Designed for Enterprise Customers  All packages include unlimited frameworks, including custom frameworks, to support your mature program, which helps you adopt new frameworks and grow your program without additional cost.  Optimized for programs with only a few frameworks. Additional frameworks and many features cost extra, placing obstacles in your path to growth. | ||
100% Proprietary Integrations | ||
100% Proprietary Integrations 180+ integrations created and optimized in-house and designed for least privilege access. Unreliable and limited integrations, including heavy use of API aggregators, raise data privacy concerns since sensitive data passes through a third party. | ||
Granular Customization | ||
Granular Customization Easily tailor everything from frameworks, controls, and evidence to risks, workflows, and analysis rules for your unique program with no-code customization. Not all aspects of the platform are customizable, forcing users to settle for out-of-the-box templates or pay for additional services. | ||
Data Delegation | ||
Data Delegation Platform adheres to data ownership best practices by keeping your data within your own perimeter. Restricts customers to default data hosting options. | ||
Accurate Automated Cross-Mapping | ||
Accurate Automated Cross-Mapping Patent pending automated cross-mapping of your data on the requirement level applies your data across your entire GRC program—including controls, risk, and more—saving you valuable time and supporting your growth. Limited, control-based mapping provides less accuracy and requires manual mapping of evidence to controls. | ||
Dynamic Data Evidence | ||
Wide Range of Pre-Mapped Frameworks Sort, search, and scope whatever you need with full GRC datasets which the platform collects and presents in a standard table format for ease of use. Returns automated evidence as a test result, which is prone to false positives/negatives. The ability to customize tests is limited and requires an upgrade from the base package. | ||
Audit integrity | ||
Dynamic Data Evidence The top auditors in the industry trust Anecdotes’ data, and customers can engage with their auditor of choice independently. A list of “Vanta auditor partners” offer bundling options. | ||
