Vanta states that when it was founded in 2018 it wanted to launch a tool for automating security questionnaires, which are non-standardized, long and manual, but at the time it could not build a tool to reliably generate AI answers to so many one-off questions; it says that with the LLM boom it now can and has. The company frames its ongoing work as shifting security reviews from static, point-in-time checks to continuous, automated verification.
