Connecting Vanta & Anthropic

J

Vanta integrates with Anthropic to monitor and manage access to your tools. By syncing user access data, Vanta helps ensure that only active employees retain access and that access is promptly removed when personnel leave. This supports automated compliance needs, streamlines access reviews, and powers automated access requests.

Estimated setup time: Less than 10 minutes

How It Works

Vanta connects to Anthropic to sync user data on a regular basis. This data supports three key workflows:

  • Automated compliance tests – Vanta automatically checks that accounts are linked to employees and deprovisioned when personnel leave

  • Access Reviews – Synced users appear in Vanta’s Access Reviews, where approvers can validate appropriate access, confirm least-privilege access, and provide audit evidence

  • Access Requests – Entitlements from Anthropic are pulled into Vanta. Requesters can ask for specific access levels, approvers can review with context, and admins can track provisioning

Use Cases

  • Monitor and manage personnel access to Anthropic in real time

Troubleshooting FAQ

Common failure points – Users may get stuck during setup if:

  • Credentials are invalid

  • Scopes are not configured correctly

Example issue:

“I don’t see roles/groups available when creating an access level in Vanta.”

  • Likely cause: The Anthropic API does not expose entitlements, or they have not been synced yet. Confirm that the correct scopes are granted.
