Case Study: Black Kite scales compliance and security with Vanta

How Vanta allowed Black Kite to scale their compliance program

Black Kite, a Boston-based cybersecurity company, needed to scale its compliance program in 2020 as it moved upmarket and pursued SOC 2 certification. With only one person on the security team, the company wanted a way to prepare for audits without adding headcount, while also laying the groundwork for future frameworks like ISO 27001 and FedRAMP.

Vanta provided the automation Black Kite needed through its compliance platform, including SOC 2, ISO 27001, FedRAMP, Access Reviews, Vendor Risk Management, and Trust Center. With Vanta, Black Kite reused controls across frameworks, streamlined audit prep, and continuously monitored security posture; the company also said Vanta effectively saved the work of about 1–2 full-time employees, helping it grow without hiring additional staff.
