Uzado Managed Governance, Risk, and Compliance on Vanta

The Perfect Partnership for Modern Compliance

Getting compliance right shouldn't feel like climbing Mount Everest. Yet for many organizations, achieving SOC 2, ISO 27001, or other certifications can feel overwhelming, expensive, and time-consuming.

That's where Uzado's Managed Governance, Risk, and Compliance (MGRC) service comes in. By partnering with Vanta's automation platform, we've created a streamlined approach that combines the best of both worlds: cutting-edge technology and human expertise.

How Uzado MGRC Works with Vanta

Think of it as having a compliance dream team. Vanta handles the heavy lifting of continuous monitoring and evidence collection, while Uzado provides the strategic guidance and hands-on management you need to actually get things done.

Here's what makes this partnership work:

Vanta brings the automation. The platform continuously monitors your controls across 30+ compliance frameworks, integrates with 350+ systems, and automatically collects evidence. No more scrambling during audit season.

Uzado brings the expertise. We scope your environment, establish practical policies, tune Vanta to match your operational reality, and provide ongoing managed services to keep everything running smoothly.

The result? A compliance program that actually works in the real world, not just on paper.

The 90-Day SOC 2 Success Framework

One of our flagship offerings demonstrates just how powerful this combination can be. Our structured 90-day SOC 2 compliance program breaks down what traditionally takes 6-12 months into a manageable, three-phase approach.

Days 1-30: Foundation Phase

We start by getting the basics right. This means aligning your scope and Trust Service Criteria, deploying and configuring Vanta to your specific environment, and mapping your existing controls.

By the end of month one, you'll have a crystal-clear remediation plan with designated owners and realistic timelines. No guesswork, no surprises.

Days 31-60: Implementation Phase

This is where the rubber meets the road. Your team works with Uzado to close identified gaps while Vanta continuously monitors control health in the background.

The platform automatically gathers evidence and sends task reminders to control owners, so nothing falls through the cracks. We also tackle vendor risk management and harden system configurations to prevent audit exceptions.

Days 61-90: Validation Phase

The final stretch focuses on audit readiness. Uzado conducts pre-audit reviews, finalizes evidence collection in Vanta, and coordinates with independent auditors to establish sampling windows and control descriptions.

When audit time comes, Vanta's automated evidence packages minimize back-and-forth communications. Your auditors get what they need, when they need it.

Beyond Initial Compliance: Ongoing Managed Services

Getting your first SOC 2 report is just the beginning. The real value comes from maintaining compliance over time without burning out your internal teams.

Our ongoing managed services ensure your controls keep operating day-to-day. This includes managed security, IT support, and helpdesk services that free up your team to focus on building the business, not managing compliance checkboxes.

When it's time for your Type II audit or expanding to additional frameworks, you're already ahead of the game.

Why This Combination Actually Works

Let's be honest: most compliance programs fail because they're either too automated (missing the human element) or too manual (unsustainable and expensive).

Uzado's MGRC service on Vanta solves this by:

Balancing automation with expertise. Vanta handles the routine monitoring and evidence collection, while Uzado provides strategic guidance and problem-solving when issues arise.

Making compliance sustainable. Instead of temporary solutions that create ongoing headaches, we build processes that actually work long-term.

Reducing costs dramatically. Organizations achieve compliance for approximately 10% of traditional costs while maintaining effectiveness.

Ensuring cross-functional collaboration. We work with your IT, security, legal, and business operations teams to ensure everyone's aligned and informed.

Real-World Impact

The numbers speak for themselves. Vanta's enhanced Vendor Risk Management solution alone reduces processing time by up to 90%. The Report Centre provides real-time visibility into your security and compliance programs with comprehensive dashboards that actually make sense.

But beyond the efficiency gains, there's something more valuable: peace of mind. When your compliance program is properly automated and managed, you can focus on what really matters – growing your business and serving your customers.
