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.
