Both Certvik and Vanta help organisations prepare for ISO 27001 and SOC 2. They take different approaches — this page explains the differences honestly, so you can decide which fits your environment.
Vanta is a broad compliance automation platform that connects to a wide range of cloud infrastructure, SaaS tools, and identity providers. It is designed for organisations with diverse technology stacks that need to pull evidence from many different systems.
Certvik takes a different approach: it is built specifically for Microsoft 365-first organisations. Rather than being one integration among many, M365 is the core data source. The control mapping, evidence collection, and gap analysis are all designed around how Microsoft 365 actually works — via the Graph API, Entra ID, Intune, Defender, and Exchange Online.
If your organisation runs primarily on M365, this depth of native integration typically means better coverage from your existing environment, without needing to connect additional tools.
| Certvik | Vanta | |
|---|---|---|
| M365 integration depth | Deep — all data from M365 Graph API, Entra ID, Intune, Defender | Broad — M365 is one of many supported platforms |
| ISO 27001 | Yes — all 93 controls, ISO 27001:2022 | Yes |
| SOC 2 | Yes — all five Trust Services Criteria | Yes |
| Evidence automation | Automated from M365; manual upload for non-M365 evidence | Automated from many sources |
| Pricing transparency | Transparent, per-module pricing on website | Quote-based |
| Best for | M365-first orgs, SaaS companies, MSPs | Multi-cloud, large enterprise, diverse tech stacks |

Not necessarily — it depends on your environment. If your organisation runs primarily on Microsoft 365 and you need ISO 27001 or SOC 2, Certvik's M365-native integration means you get deeper coverage from your existing stack. If you rely heavily on AWS, GCP, or a wide range of SaaS tools outside M365, Vanta's broader connector library may be a better fit.
Certvik publishes transparent, per-module pricing on our website. Vanta typically requires a sales conversation for a quote. We can't speak to Vanta's current pricing — we recommend getting a quote directly from them to compare.
Yes. Certvik supports ISO 27001:2022 and SOC 2 simultaneously from a single M365 connection. Evidence collected for ISO 27001 controls is often reusable for SOC 2 criteria — Certvik identifies the overlaps.
