Vanta: Built by Christina Cacioppo
She turned red tape into a rocket ship—proving trust is the new platform.
@ChristinaCaci didn’t just automate compliance.
She reimagined it—for a generation of startups who had no clue how to prove they were trustworthy.
What is compliance?
It’s how companies prove they follow the rules—the rules that protect your data, your privacy, your identity.
Things like:
Are your systems secure?
Are your employees trained?
Are you protecting your users?
For most startups, it’s a nightmare of spreadsheets, screenshots, and lawyers.
In 2018, Christina saw the pain—and coded her way through it.
She built Vanta, a platform that helps companies get secure and prove it fast.
SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR—all automated. All in one place.
Today, 8,000+ companies—including Miro, ZoomInfo, and Lattice—run their security audits on Vanta.
In 2024, she raised $150M from Sequoia and CrowdStrike. The company’s now worth $2.45B—and pushing into AI-powered trust infrastructure.
Vanta doesn’t just help you pass the test.
It helps you prove you deserve to be in the room.
And Christina? She’s still CEO. Still shipping product. Still playing offense.
