Case Study: Granola achieves SOC 2 compliance and unlocks B2B sales with Vanta

Granola achieves SOC 2 compliance in 3 months with Vanta

Granola, an AI-powered SaaS company based in London, faced a significant challenge in its B2B sales efforts as the lack of a SOC 2 certification was stalling enterprise deals. The small team found manually managing security questionnaires to be a major time drain, pulling focus away from product development. To address this and prove their security commitment to potential customers, they turned to the compliance platform Vanta for a solution.

By implementing Vanta, Granola automated its compliance workflow and partnered with Vanta's audit network to achieve SOC 2 compliance in just over three months. This certification allowed them to re-engage with stalled enterprise deals and accelerate their sales cycle. Vanta saved the engineering team a remarkable 97% of the time previously spent on security questionnaires, translating to a 90% time savings and allowing them to refocus on innovation and scaling operations.
