Vanta's Vendor page empowers you to add, edit, and manage vendors effortlessly—all in one place. This powerful tool also enables you to conduct comprehensive security reviews that enable your organization to proactively mitigate risk associated with the vendors you utilize.
Accessing the Managed Vendor's Page
Go to the Vendors page using the navigation menu in your account.
From the Vendors page, you can search for Vendors, filter by status, risk level, and priority, and add new Vendors.
By clicking a Vendor name, you will be brought to the details of that specific Vendor.
Adding & Editing Vendors
To add a new vendor, select + Add Vendor in the top right-hand corner of the page.
Fill out the form with the vendor’s name, category, and other relevant details, then select Add to save the new vendor to your list.
To edit a vendor, select the vendor name from your Vendors list.
Then, go to the About tab to update the vendor’s details such as name, category, or description. Changes are saved automatically.
Merging Vendors
If you find duplicate vendors, you can merge them to maintain a clean and accurate vendor list.
Please note: The vendor you merge into will become the primary vendor record moving forward.
To merge two vendors:
Go to the Vendors page using the navigation menu in your account.
From the Vendors table, locate the vendor you’d like to merge into the primary vendor record.
Open the ••• menu on the right side of the vendor row.
Choose Merge with another vendor.
In the pop-up modal, choose the vendor you want to merge into from the dropdown list. The vendor you're merging into is going to be the primary vendor record retained.
Choose the information you'd like to preserve for each vendor.
When vendors are merged, the default setting is to preserve security reviews, evidence, documents, and vendor findings from both vendors.
You need to select the remaining info you would like to preserve for each vendor.
The following vendor fields do not transfer: Password configuration details, Services provided, and Additional notes. To retain this info, manually copy it before completing the merge.
Select Confirm merge to complete the process.
