Vanta's Oracle Cloud integration helps you monitor users, groups, policies, buckets, and databases from your Oracle Cloud account. Once connected, Vanta will collect this evidence automatically and apply security tests to help you stay audit-ready.

This feature is helpful for admins who want to connect either their full tenancy or specific compartments in Oracle Cloud.

Set Up the Integration in Vanta

Follow these steps to connect Oracle Cloud (OCI) to Vanta.

Connect the Integration

  • Go to the Integrations page in Vanta

  • Search for Oracle

  • Click Connect under Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)

Choose a Connection Type

You’ll be prompted to choose how you'd like to connect your Oracle Cloud account.

  • Connect by Compartment if you want to link specific compartments one-by-one

  • Connect Entire Tenancy if you want Vanta to pull from all compartments at once

Click on the method that fits your structure.

Connect by Compartment

Use this option if you want to link one or more specific compartments in your Oracle tenancy.
