Keeping track of every vendor your company works with helps you stay organized and maintain a clear audit trail. This article is for admins who want to make sure all of their vendors integrated and non-integrated are captured in Vanta so that the Vendor List Maintained test passes smoothly.

Add a Non-Integrated Vendor

  • Go to the Vendors page in Vanta.

  • Select + Add Vendor in the top right corner

  • Enter the Vendor Details

  • Click Add Vendor

Edit an Existing Vendor

  • On the Vendors page, click the name of the vendor you want to update

  • Change any details you need (account manager, services, etc.)

  • Click Save

Deactivate the Vendor List Maintained Test

If your company only uses vendors that Vanta already integrates with, you can turn off this test:

  • Go to Settings > Tests

  • Find Vendor List Maintained

  • Toggle Off

Common Reasons For Failure:

  • You haven’t manually added any vendors that Vanta doesn’t integrate with

  • You added vendors but didn’t include all required fields (name, category, services)

  • You need to keep your list up to date whenever you start working with a new non-integrated vendor

Keeping your vendor list current ensures you’ve got everything in one place and helps Vanta track compliance across all your third-party relationships.
