Vanta’s integrations are built on the principle of least privilege, using secure, read-only permissions to collect only the configuration and metadata necessary to verify compliance. This means Vanta can check if your systems meet security standards, like confirming that a storage bucket is encrypted or that MFA is enforced without ever accessing or storing the sensitive data inside. Each connection is authenticated via encrypted credentials or OAuth, ensuring your information remains protected while enabling continuous, automated evidence collection that powers real-time compliance.
