Vanta, the leading AI-powered trust management platform, has announced the close of its $150 million Series D funding round, bringing its total capital raised to $504 million since 2021. The round, which values the company at $4.15 billion, was led by new investor Wellington Management. Existing investors also participated, including Growth Equity at Goldman Sachs Alternatives, Sequoia, J.P. Morgan, Craft Ventures, Y Combinator, Atlassian Ventures, and CrowdStrike Ventures.
“We started Vanta with a simple belief: if we made it easier to share trust between businesses, all companies could grow faster and more securely,” said Christina Cacioppo, CEO of Vanta. “Today, we’re helping businesses earn and prove trust enabling over 12,000 companies to scale security and GRC the way they scale software. With this new funding, we’ll accelerate Vanta’s AI innovation and expansion into new areas like third-party risk and government compliance solving more of the real, day-to-day challenges our customers face.”
Founded in 2018, Vanta initially focused on helping startups automate SOC 2 compliance. Today, it has grown into a comprehensive AI-driven trust management platform used by organizations of all sizes from early-stage startups to Fortune 50 enterprises. The platform enables continuous risk monitoring, real-time compliance, and automated trust verification across a wide array of security frameworks.
Some of the platform’s latest advancements include zero-touch verification for compliance controls, AI-powered tools for vendor risk and access reviews, and real-time Trust Centers that boost transparency with customers and partners. These innovations reflect Vanta’s mission to evolve security from periodic audits to continuous, automated validation empowering teams to manage trust with confidence every day.

One of the platform’s standout features is the newly launched AI Agent, designed to streamline workflows, identify inconsistencies, respond to policy questions, and automate evidence gathering freeing up as much as 12 hours a week for some teams. Meanwhile, Vanta’s Questionnaire Automation tool drafts over 80% of security questionnaire responses with a 95% acceptance rate, enabling teams to complete assessments in half the time.
“We’re excited to lead Vanta’s latest round of funding and support them as they transform how companies build and prove trust,” said Matt Witheiler, Head of Late-Stage Growth, Wellington Management. “Vanta’s AI-driven platform is moving beyond the standard for security and compliance — with real-time, continuous verification that’s essential for every industry in today’s business environment. Christina and Vanta have created something truly special and we look forward to seeing their impact grow as they expand into new markets and push the boundaries of what’s possible for trust management in the age of AI.”
Vanta’s solutions have already delivered measurable impact for leading enterprises such as Duolingo, Snowflake, Atlassian, Ramp, and WRITER. These organizations report dramatic time and cost savings, faster compliance readiness, and more effective vendor and risk management thanks to Vanta’s AI capabilities.
In the past year, Vanta launched over 350 new features, including AI Agent and AI Assessments, and acquired Riskey to enhance its vendor security review capabilities. The company also rolled out Vanta for Marketplaces to help ecosystem players like Atlassian and Snowflake scale trust across their partner networks. Additional milestones include the introduction of Policy Builder for faster audit readiness, expanded compliance framework support including FedRAMP, CMMC, and NIST 800-53, and international growth with a new London office and an Australian data center. Today, Vanta serves customers in 58 countries and has grown to a global team of over 1,000 employees.
With this latest funding, Vanta is poised to further advance its mission of redefining trust management for the AI era supporting businesses in scaling securely, efficiently, and with continuous confidence.
