Case Study: Recidiviz expands state partnerships and streamlines compliance with Vanta

Recidiviz expands to 19 states and saves 1 FTE with Vanta

Recidiviz, a non-profit organization modernizing the U.S. criminal justice system, faced the challenge of managing complex and varied compliance requirements across 19 different state partnerships. Each state had its own unique set of rules, including frameworks like NIST 800-53, making manual compliance tracking overwhelming. They needed a solution from Vanta to centralize this process and build trust without dedicating excessive headcount.

Vanta automated Recidiviz's compliance monitoring, evidence collection, and vendor management. This solution saved the equivalent of one full-time employee and allowed the security team to focus on strengthening infrastructure instead of manual busywork. As a result, Recidiviz can now expand into new states faster with a higher degree of trust from partners, directly supporting their mission to safeguard lives and liberties.
