Connecting Vanta & Wizer

Training Completion Tracking: Connect Wizer and we automatically sync each employee's enrollment and completion status across your training courses. Completion data updates every hour, so Vanta always reflects current status without manual uploads or spreadsheet exports.

Automated Compliance Tests: Once you map your Wizer training courses to compliance categories in Vanta, we run up to 11 automated tests on your behalf — verifying that employees have completed required training. We also verify that Wizer accounts are linked to active employees and that access is revoked when someone leaves.

Evidence Collection: Synced training records feed directly into Vanta's evidence library for supported compliance frameworks. Instead of collecting and uploading completion reports before each audit, we keep that evidence current automatically.

Access Reviews: Wizer user accounts are surfaced in Vanta's Access Reviews. Reviewers can confirm whether access remains appropriate and generate audit-ready evidence from the same synced data.

Course Assignment: After connecting, you can map individual Wizer training courses to specific compliance categories directly in Vanta's integration settings. This controls which completions count toward which tests, so you have precise control over how training maps to your compliance requirements.

You have a Vanta admin account.

You have a Wizer admin account with API access. This requires a paid or enterprise plan. Once confirmed, you must enable API access in your Wizer account.

Training courses must already be created and assigned to users in Wizer before you connect. Vanta doesn't create or assign training.

Employee email addresses in Wizer must exactly match the email addresses on their Vanta personnel records. Mismatches will prevent completion data from linking correctly.

The compliance frameworks relevant to your organization are enabled in Vanta. The training categories available during setup (HIPAA, PCI-DSS, GDPR, etc.) depend on which frameworks your organization has turned on in Vanta. If a category you expect is missing, go to Settings (gear icon), then select Frameworks in the Monitoring section to confirm.

Locate your Company ID and API Key in the Wizer admin dashboard under Account Settings > API & Integration. You'll need both during setup.

A Wizer Boost subscription is required if you want to sync Wizer4Defense (W4D) developer-focused training courses. Standard awareness training courses sync regardless of subscription tier.

Log in to the Wizer admin dashboard.

Go to Account Settings.

Then select the API & Integration tab.

Copy your Company ID and API Key (you will need both in the next steps).

In Vanta, go to Integrations.

Search for Wizer in the Available tab. Click View details.

Then click Connect.

Click Add Connection.

In the connection modal, fill in the following fields from the Wizer API & Integration tab:

Click Store token.

In the Choose security assignments modal, click Add an Assignment.

Click Choose an assignment and select the course.

Select every training category the assignment covers. For example:

Supported categories include:

Repeat these steps to map additional assignments, or click Delete on a new row to remove one.

Click Save.

In Vanta, go to Personnel and then go to People. Select the Groups tab. Then click the group you want to configure (for example, Engineering).

On the group’s page, find the row labeled Trainings and open it. A modal opens where you can configure training for this group.

Each available training category appears as a toggle (General is always first). Turn on the toggle for every category employees in this group must complete.

When you turn a category on, three source options appear:

To use Wizer, select Integration training. To change which Wizer assignments are used for a category, click the three dot menu on the card and choose Edit.

Click Save inside the Manage trainings modal. The modal closes and you return to the group’s page. Your changes are not applied yet.

On the group’s page, click Save to review your changes. The Review changes and save modal opens, summarizing what is about to change.

Click Save in the Review changes and save modal to confirm. Employees in this group will now see the assigned Wizer training in their tasks.

A confirmation dialog appears: You updated tasks for [group name]. From here you can:

Likely cause: The Company ID or API Key entered is incorrect, or the API Key has been revoked.

How to confirm: Log in to Wizer and navigate to Account Settings > API & Integration. Confirm the Company ID and API Key match what was entered in Vanta.

Fix: Re-enter the correct Company ID and API Key and try again. If the key was revoked, generate a new one in Wizer first.

Likely cause: One or more of the following:

How to confirm: Check the employee's email in both Wizer and Vanta for exact matches. Confirm the course is mapped under Integrations > Wizer > Update Settings. Confirm training is enabled for the group under People > Groups > [select group] > Trainings.

Fix: Correct any email mismatches. Complete course mapping under Update Settings. If training is not yet enabled for the group, go to People > Groups, open the relevant group, find the Trainings row, and turn on the required training categories. Select Integration training as the source and save. Allow up to one hour for the next sync.

Likely cause: Training has not been enabled for the employee's group in Vanta. Connecting the integration does not automatically assign training.

Fix: Go to People > Groups and open the relevant group. Find the Trainings row and turn on the required training categories. Select Integration training as the source, then save through both the Manage trainings modal and the group page. Allow up to one hour for the next sync to reflect the change.

Likely cause: Email address mismatches between Wizer and Vanta personnel records are the most common cause. Vanta matches completion records to employees by email — any mismatch will cause that employee's data to be excluded.

Fix: Review employee email addresses in both Wizer and Vanta and correct any discrepancies, including differences in capitalization, formatting, or aliases.

Likely cause: Manual evidence documents are not automatically deactivated when an integration is connected.

Fix: Once you have confirmed the integration is syncing correctly, manually deactivate the document by navigating to it, clicking the three-dot menu, and selecting Deactivate.

Likely cause: Your Wizer account does not include a Boost subscription, which is required to access W4D course data.

Fix: No action is required. Standard awareness training courses will continue to sync normally. If you need W4D course data, contact Wizer to add the Boost subscription to your account.
