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

  • From the left-hand navigation panel, select Vendors

  • Then select Managed Vendors

  • From the Managed 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 Managed 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.

To merge two vendors:

  • From the Managed Vendors table, locate the vendor you’d like to merge

  • Select the three dots on the right side of that vendor row

  • Choose Merge with another vendor…

  • In the pop-up modal, choose the vendor you want to merge into from the dropdown list

  • Select Confirm merge to complete the process

When vendors are merged, Vanta will preserve any security reviews, uploaded evidence, and findings from both vendors. This ensures that no previously collected data or due diligence is lost during the merge.

Please note: The vendor you select in the “To merge into” dropdown will become the primary vendor record moving forward.
