Vanta allows connecting both a Grafana Cloud Account and a Grafana Stack. You may need to connect both or just one, depending on your needs:

• Connect a Grafana Cloud Account to see who has access to Grafana on the Access page and satisfy controls around access management. Also, Vanta will remind you to remove access when an employee leaves your company
• Connect a Grafana stack to pull in alerts from Vanta and satisfy controls around monitoring
• Vanta does not currently support self-hosted Grafana

Connecting Grafana
