Empowering Security and Compliance: How Cobalt and Vanta’s Integration Streamlines Vulnerability Management

In today's rapidly evolving tech landscape, security and compliance are non-negotiable for growing companies. As organizations scale, managing compliance while maintaining a strong security posture becomes increasingly complex, especially with the need to meet standards like SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and GDPR. 

Cobalt has teamed up with Vanta, the premier compliance automation platform, to offer a solution that simplifies these challenges and enables proactive vulnerability management through a powerful integration. This partnership provides a seamless way for organizations to streamline pentest findings and compliance tasks, ensuring they stay audit-ready and secure.

Bridging Security and Compliance with Expert Insights

For customers of both Cobalt and Vanta, this integration makes gathering evidence easy. 

Cobalt’s expert-led pentests provide in-depth assessments based on our standardized methodology and a customer’s specific needs. Identified vulnerability findings are detailed in the Cobalt platform and through our new integration, these findings are automatically surfaced within Vanta as tracked issues, which can then be monitored in Vanta’s risk register. 

Customers can create and track issues via Cobalt’s many ticketing system integrations or use Vanta to generate and track issues as well. By centralizing vulnerability tracking, you can ensure Cobalt’s pentest findings are incorporated into the organization’s larger compliance and security strategy. Automatically syncing pentest findings with Vanta, allows you to streamline your compliance documentation, manage risks efficiently, and track the status of remediation efforts all in one place.

Key Benefits of the Cobalt and Vanta Integration

1. Unified Vulnerability Management: With Cobalt findings automatically integrated into Vanta, you can track vulnerabilities alongside issues from other sources. This consolidation simplifies managing vulnerabilities across the organization and ensures that no security risks are overlooked.

2. Centralized Remediation Tracking: Vanta aggregates findings from various sources, including Cobalt, providing you with a comprehensive view of remediation efforts across all assets. This allows your security and compliance teams to prioritize and address vulnerabilities effectively, meeting regulatory requirements and staying ahead of security threats.

3. Streamlined Evidence Collection for Audits: The integration automates evidence collection across 35 tests and 11 controls, allowing you to quickly gather the compliance artifacts required for audits. This efficiency not only reduces manual effort but also supports continuous compliance with less disruption.

4. Continuous Compliance and Security: With updates every six hours, the integration ensures Vanta reflects your most current security status. This ongoing sync between Cobalt and Vanta allows you to adopt a proactive approach to both security and compliance, demonstrating your commitment to industry standards and secure practices.

Reducing Compliance Complexity for Fast-Growing Teams

For fast-growing SaaS, fintech, healthtech, and other tech-driven companies, this integration offers a tailored solution to common security and compliance challenges. Vanta’s automation, combined with Cobalt’s expert-driven pentest findings, reduces the time and resources you need to meet compliance requirements, freeing your team to focus on scaling securely. Together, Cobalt and Vanta provide an essential integration that gives you the insights needed to stay secure and compliant with ease, building trust with your customers and stakeholders.
