Vanta allows users to subscribe to individual Tests and Documents to receive timely notifications about activity that may require attention.
Manage Subscribers
The Manage Subscribers feature enables admins or test/document owners to manually add additional recipients to receive notifications related to a specific Test or Document.
This is helpful for:
Including stakeholders outside of the primary owner
Keeping backup owners or internal auditors in the loop
Monitoring high-priority Tests or Documents more closely
Notifications
Subscribers receive standard notification emails similar to those sent to the Test or Document owner. These emails will include:
A clear subject line based on the notification type (e.g., “Test failed” or “Document due soon”)
A link to the Test or Document in question
A disclaimer at the bottom indicating that the recipient is receiving this email because they are a subscriber and not the primary owner
Please note: Only emails with your company's domain can be added as subscribers.
