Vanta, the San Francisco-based compliance automation startup, unveiled its most ambitious artificial intelligence product yet on Tuesday — an autonomous AI agent that handles end-to-end security and compliance workflows without human intervention. The launch signals a major evolution in how enterprises manage governance, risk and compliance (GRC) programs as regulatory pressures intensify and manual processes become unsustainable.The Vanta AI Agent, entering private beta immediately with general availability planned for July, represents a fundamental shift from AI as a productivity enhancer to AI as a trusted program partner. Unlike traditional automation tools that follow pre-defined rules, the agent proactively identifies compliance issues, suggests fixes and takes action on behalf of security teams while keeping humans in control of final decisions.“We built the Vanta AI Agent to meet teams exactly where they are, stepping in during the most manual parts of compliance and surfacing issues they may not catch on their own,” said Jeremy Epling, Vanta’s Chief Product Officer, in an interview with VentureBeat. “By minimizing human error and taking on repetitive tasks, the Vanta AI agent enables teams to focus on higher-value work—the work that truly builds trust.”The timing reflects urgent market needs

To streamline the process, Brim Analytics Inc. partnered with Vanta, a compliance automation platform.
