A novel partnership between cloud solutions provider Automat-it and compliance automation firm Vanta aims to streamline the often-complex process of regulatory compliance for Amazon Web Services (AWS) based startups. The collaboration, announced March 5, 2026, integrates Vanta’s trust management platform into Automat-it’s Compliance Guard Suite, offering a combined solution designed to accelerate audit readiness and automate evidence collection.
As cloud-native companies scale, adherence to standards like ISO 27001, PCI DSS and HIPAA is increasingly critical for securing enterprise clients and maintaining market credibility. However, preparing for audits can divert engineering resources from core product development, creating operational bottlenecks. Automat-it and Vanta’s joint offering seeks to address this challenge by embedding automated compliance capabilities directly into AWS-focused services.
“For too long, compliance has been a manual drag on engineering teams,” said Noam Rahi, Executive VP of Business Development and Strategy at Automat-it. “By embedding Vanta’s trust management platform into our Compliance Guard Suite, we aren’t just checking boxes, we are helping AWS-based startups prove their security posture in real-time, get audit-ready, close deals faster, and build immediate trust with their own customers.”
Vanta’s platform automates workflows across compliance, risk, and security assessments, currently supporting over 15,000 organizations including Atlassian, the Golden State Warriors, Icelandair, and Ramp. The integration with Automat-it’s Compliance Guard Suite focuses on streamlining evidence collection and providing automatically generated compliance reports, while maintaining real-time visibility into security posture.
Automat-it’s Compliance Guard Suite is designed to assess cloud environments, identify security gaps, implement controls, and maintain continuous monitoring across AWS deployments. The suite leverages Automat-it’s expertise in DevOps, FinOps, and GenAI, combined with automated compliance tooling. It comprises four solutions tailored to specific regulatory frameworks:
- HealthGuard: Supports HIPAA compliance through automated audits, gap analysis, and breach response.
- InfoSure: Assists organizations in pursuing ISO 27001 certification by guiding ISMS implementation and evidence collection.
- PayGuard: Addresses PCI DSS 4.0 compliance through automated reporting and vulnerability assessments.
- TrustGuard: A centralized platform for managing multiple compliance frameworks across environments.
The partnership embeds Vanta’s platform into the continuous monitoring stage of these solutions, supporting automated evidence refresh and faster audit preparation. Automat-it states that startups using the platform can conduct security reviews based on AWS best practices, track vulnerabilities through real-time monitoring, and minimize regulatory risk across multiple accounts and geographic regions.
Vanta views the partnership as an expansion of its ecosystem of service partners focused on automated security and compliance operations. “We’re thrilled to welcome Automat-it to our Partner Program,” said Bill Fitzgerald, VP, Global Sales Channel and Alliances, Vanta. “By integrating Vanta’s agentic trust platform into their Compliance Guard Suite, Automat-it is helping AWS-based scale-ups automate evidence collection, strengthen continuous monitoring, and accelerate audit readiness, turning compliance into a true growth driver for their customers.”
Vanta’s platform centralizes security program management by providing visibility into risk across an organization’s environment, enriching security findings with contextual data, and enabling teams to track remediation progress.
