How To: Find out what a product integration does (or will do) in Vanta
If you're anything like me, you've been working diligently to take advantage of all of the automations that Vanta has to offer. That includes integrating a number of products and applications in your Vanta instance, and adding more as Vanta continues to roll-out new integrations. While integrations are a great way to streamline your compliance and security processes, sometimes, you go back and look at an integration and wonder, "Why did they integrate that again?"
I actually just had this come up today so, here's a helpful tip!
This applies to current integrations (those that have a white "Manage" button) and any available integrations (those with the purple "Connect" button). In your Vanta Agent instance, in the navigation bar:
- Navigate to "Integrations" (at the bottom)
- Filter by "Available"
- Click on "View Details" for any available or connected integration.
- Review the integration details, list of automated tests (linked), and list of controls (linked) supported/impacted by the integration.
When I clicked on the controls & test list a pop-out (not pop-up) appeared. I copied and pasted the list into a document to look each one up individually as needed - specifically the controls.
For us, moving forward, this is a great place to go when we want to know "What impacts are there to my compliance workflow if I were to add/remove an product from our catalog?"
In my experience, there are things that will double-cover you on certain controls and tests, but YMMV.
Hope this helps!
