On your Tests dashboard, you may see some tests are Upcoming
An upcoming test is either
A new test - for example, if AWS adds a new database type, Vanta will add new tests that check that database's configuration.
An update to an existing test - for example, if a compliance standard starts requiring policies to be renewed annually, Vanta would update its policies tests to check for annual completion.
Upcoming tests have a rollout date
Until this date passes, the test does not have its history tracked and is not visible to auditors.
This gives you "heads up" time to address the test before it starts being part of your audit.
After the date passes, the test will begin recording history and become part of your normal security and compliance task list.
Any flagged items will only begin their SLA period once an upcoming test has reached its rollout date
