Automat-it and Vanta Partner to Streamline AWS Compliance for Startups

As cloud-native startups scale, regulatory compliance is increasingly critical. Meeting standards like ISO 27001, PCI DSS, or HIPAA often requires significant documentation and monitoring, potentially diverting engineering resources from product development. A new partnership between Automat-it, an AWS Premier Tier Partner and Managed Service Provider (MSP), and Vanta aims to address this challenge by integrating Vanta’s trust management platform into Automat-it’s Compliance Guard Suite.

Addressing Compliance Bottlenecks for Engineering Teams

Startups often uncover compliance preparation to be a manual and time-consuming process. Automat-it’s integration with Vanta is designed to streamline this process by automating compliance capabilities within its AWS-focused services. Noam Rahi, Executive VP of Business Development and Strategy at Automat-it, stated that the integration aims to move beyond simply “checking boxes” and assist AWS-based startups demonstrate their security posture in real-time, accelerate audit readiness, and build customer trust.

Vanta’s platform automates workflows related to compliance, risk, and security assessments. Over 15,000 organizations, including Atlassian, the Golden State Warriors, Icelandair, and Ramp, utilize Vanta’s technology for continuous security monitoring and demonstration.

The Role of the Compliance Guard Suite

Automat-it’s Compliance Guard Suite assesses cloud environments, identifies gaps, implements security controls, and provides continuous monitoring across AWS deployments. The suite combines DevOps, FinOps, and AI expertise with automated compliance tooling. The integration with Vanta streamlines evidence collection and generates compliance reports, providing real-time visibility into security posture.

The Compliance Guard Suite includes four solutions:

• HealthGuard: Supports HIPAA compliance through automated audits, gap analysis, and breach response.
• InfoSure: Assists organizations in pursuing ISO 27001 certification by guiding ISMS implementation and evidence collection.
• PayGuard: Addresses PCI DSS 4.0 compliance through automated reporting and vulnerability assessments.
• TrustGuard: A centralized platform for managing multiple compliance frameworks.

With the partnership, Vanta’s platform is integrated into the continuous monitoring stage of these solutions, supporting automated evidence refresh and faster audit preparation.

Strengthening the Compliance Ecosystem

Bill Fitzgerald, VP, Global Sales Channel and Alliances at Vanta, expressed enthusiasm about welcoming Automat-it to its Partner Program. He stated that integrating Vanta’s platform into the Compliance Guard Suite will help AWS-based startups automate evidence collection, strengthen continuous monitoring, and accelerate audit readiness, ultimately driving growth.

Vanta’s platform centralizes security program management, providing visibility into risk across an environment, enriching security findings with contextual data, and enabling teams to track remediation progress.

Building Trust While Scaling

As startups grow, demonstrating strong security and compliance is essential for building customer trust and securing enterprise deals. Automated monitoring and evidence collection tools are emerging as key solutions for organizations aiming to meet these expectations without hindering innovation. The collaboration between Automat-it and Vanta aims to help startups accelerate audit readiness while maintaining control over their cloud security.
