How Iru compares to Vanta

Iru
Vanta

Automated evidence collection across frameworks

Both Vanta and Iru enable automated evidence collection and support multiple frameworks. However, Vanta customers have to pay for additional frameworks.

Trust Center, included

Both Vanta and Iru feature Trust Centers that use AI to generate answers to security questionnaires. However, Vanta customers have to pay extra for access to a Trust Center.

Enforce endpoint controls, don't just monitor them

Vanta tells you a device is out of compliance. Iru's Endpoint Management solution works within the same platform to enforce controls on endpoints.

Custom control sets for each user

Vanta relies on pre-built controls or lets you bring your own. Iru AI generates controls based on your company technology stack, enriched by existing Iru Endpoint/Identity data when the customer already uses those products

Continuous evidence validation, included

Both Vanta and Iru use AI to flag problems with evidence. However, Vanta's check only applies to evidence manually uploaded into a paid audit add-on, and evidence already stored in Vanta isn't re-evaluated. Iru checks all evidence, continuously, as standard.

Intelligent evidence collection

Vanta relies on a library of pre-written tests to collect evidence, which can lack the nuance of your organization. Iru pulls evidence based on actual control language.

All supported frameworks for one price

Vanta charges for modules, including additional frameworks. Iru includes all frameworks at one price point, meaning you can pursue multiple frameworks at once, sharing evidence across them easily.

Controls that adapt as your business changes

Vanta continuously monitors your existing controls, but doesn't detect when your tech stack or policies change enough to need a new one. Iru runs daily checks for exactly that, and surfaces suggested updates for your team to approve.

“When I was looking at MDMs, I didn't know Iru had a compliance platform. We're early adopters, and it's been amazing. It holds your hand and tells you, these are the things you have to have in place. The compliance and the endpoint management platform just go hand in hand.”

Why switch to Iru?

Intelligent evidence mapping and validation

Iru's AI-powered integrations pull the right artifacts from integrations, flags stale or irrelevant items, and keeps proof current. Evidence isn’t just collected, it’s validated and piped to the right control.

Frequently asked
questions

Get answers to commonly asked questions
When should you use Vanta and Iru together?

If you have an upcoming audit, already prepared with Vanta, finish your audit there. You can still get started with Iru endpoint and identity solutions now, and onboard compliance automation in the future. 

Should you get Vanta or Iru first?

For the grand majority of organizations, Iru's Compliance Automation solution will meet all the needs of IT and GRC teams, with the added benefit of running in the same platform as endpoint management and workforce identity. 

What is the best alternative to Vanta?

The best alternative depends on your stack. For organizations that want compliance tied to real device state rather than integration reports, Iru is a strong option because it unifies enforcement and evidence. You can also compare other alternatives to see how each fits.

Are Iru and Vanta MDMs?

Iru includes full MDM, so it manages, secures, and enforces policies on devices directly. Vanta is not an MDM; its can only report device status without managing or enforcing anything.
