The Vanta Agent is read-only, which means it will not change anything on your machines. It has limited functionality to read data (Vanta deploys a modified version of osquery that excludes tables that we find dangerous). The agent does not read sensitive information like passwords, emails, or browsing history.  

• To require employees to download the Vanta Agent, when creating or editing the checklist, make sure Install Vanta Agent is toggled on
