Connecting Vanta & Fieldguide

Fieldguide is an AI-powered audit management platform designed for audit firms. By integrating Fieldguide with Vanta, you can streamline the audit process by automatically syncing your evidence and related metadata into your auditor’s Fieldguide engagement. This eliminates duplicate uploads, reduces back-and-forth, and ensures your auditors always have the most up-to-date information.

Who It’s For

Audit partners using Fieldguide.

How It Works

Audit firms can find Vanta in the Integrations section of their user profile

  • The customer is responsible for creating an audit in Vanta

  • The customer then adds their auditor to Vanta

  • When the audit window becomes active, or when the early access date becomes current, all evidence and its metadata from Vanta is pushed into Fieldguide. This includes:

    • Control mapping

    • Criteria mapping

    • Evidence files

    • Evidence name

    • Evidence description

  • Fieldguide uses an endpoint to pull new evidence from Vanta on an ongoing basis so evidence remains up to date

Current Status

The Fieldguide team is actively working on updating their Vanta integration. See below to understand what is currently available, and what is in development.

Please Note: * Fieldguide does not plan to update the existing endpoints. Only the custom IRL endpoints will support bidirectional syncing, which requires the customer to be conducting a custom IRL audit in Vanta for their auditor to enable bi-directional sync with Fieldguide.

Use Cases

  • Auditors can review evidence in Fieldguide without needing manual uploads or chasing updated files

  • Evidence linked to its control or criteria is pushed into Fieldguide, reducing mismatches and version issues

Requirements

  • Customer must have a Vanta account with an open audit engagement

  • Customer must assign their auditor to their engagement

  • Auditors must have the integration add-on with Fieldguide

How to Connect the Integration

  • The auditor must reach out to Fieldguide to set up the integration with Vanta

The Fieldguide integration will expand over time, with our teams actively developing deeper functionality.
