Announcing Osano & Vanta’s New Partnership!

Written by Osano Staff | September 17, 2024

Great governance, risk management, and compliance (GRC) leaders understand that their work is about much more than following the letter of the law.  

Data privacy compliance is no exception.  

Just as is the case with broader GRC principles, the businesses that are proactive and earnest about data privacy gain benefits far beyond dodging regulatory fines. They become respected and trustworthy in the market, operationally efficient, and attractive to customers and investors alike. 

At Osano, we’ve always believed that aligned management efforts between GRC and privacy teams lead to benefits above and beyond mere compliance. 

That’s why we’re excited to announce our new partnership with Vanta, effective today. Vanta customers can now sign up for Osano's Cookie Consent platform at a preferred rate. 

What Vanta Does 

Over 8,000 companies rely on Vanta’s trust management platform to build, scale, and prove their GRC programs. With Vanta, companies can automate compliance with frameworks like SOC 2 and ISO 27001, unify security program management, streamline security reviews, and more. Vanta has been recognized two years in a row on the Forbes Cloud 100, its list of the top private cloud computing companies in the world.   

Together, Osano and Vanta are elevating the role of data privacy management in the field of GRC. With this new partnership, businesses can enjoy the benefits that come from aligning data privacy with GRC—less risk, stronger governance, and more trust. 

How Osano Is Partnering with Vanta 

Vanta’s robust GRC management capabilities align extremely well with Osano’s products and mission. Data lies at the heart of effective GRC—with the opportunity to incorporate Osano’s Cookie Consent solution, customers can ensure the personal and sensitive data they collect is done so transparently, responsibly, and compliantly. 

Implementing Osano Cookie Consent is fast: Most customers can be ready to go live with their cookie banner within days or hours. Thus, Vanta customers quickly see the value that comes with compliant cookie collection across 50+ jurisdictions and 45+ languages, in addition to the benefits they get from Vanta’s broader trust management platform. 

What's more, if your business receives a fine related to your cookie consent practices while using Vanta and Osano, Osano will cover the fine through our “No Fines, No Penalties” pledge. It’s our way of showing how confident we are in our solution’s ability to support your compliance. 

What This Means for Vanta Customers 

New Vanta customers gain the choice to align GRC and data privacy in their organizations by purchasing a Cookie Consent solution alongside their Vanta subscription. Doing so can bring several benefits to your organization. 

For one, using Osano and Vanta encourages your organization to embed privacy compliance within your overall compliance structure, helping you stay ahead of regulatory changes of all stripes.  

This comprehensive approach is in line with data privacy’s growing profile in the mind of customers, leadership, investors, and the market at large. As enterprises look to implement business-wide risk management strategies, they increasingly factor data privacy compliance into their decisions. To that end, Osano is building an integration with Vanta's Connector API. This will allow mutual customers to have visibility into their privacy controls from Vanta's platform. 

In addition, data privacy regulations like the GDPR are no longer new, and regulators and investors now expect businesses to have a fully functioning data privacy program in place. As new regulations continue to emerge, it’s crucial to stay compliant with evolving standards. By including Osano Cookie Consent in your Vanta subscription, you'll not only demonstrate that you take compliance seriously today but also show your commitment to staying up to date with the latest privacy requirements, ensuring your organization is prepared for any regulatory audits or investigations. 

And while data privacy compliance brings a host of benefits beyond merely avoiding financial penalties, we would be remiss not to mention: Osano Cookie Consent helps protect your company from painful fines!  

What This Means for Osano Customers 

We believe our partnership with Vanta reinforces that investing in your organization’s data privacy compliance is a solid decision.   

More and more businesses are waking up to the reality that data needs to be collected, stored, and processed mindfully—the fact that a holistic trust management platform like Vanta has chosen to partner with Osano reflects that. At the same time, data privacy is such a complex domain that many businesses (such as your own) require dedicated solutions to manage their privacy compliance. As data privacy grows in importance and complexity, you’ll rest easy knowing that you’ve trusted Osano to support your compliance. 

As data privacy continues to gain momentum in the world of compliance, we look forward to deepening our ties with companies like Vanta that are helping businesses earn trust, protect their customers, and do the right thing.
