The options
What people compare Vanta with
Vanta publishes no prices and quotes its plans privately, with some features sold as add-ons. If the plan and extras feel hard to match to the records your team keeps, you may want an option built around your business and held in a database you own.

How to choose a Vanta alternative
- 1
What drives the bill
Vanta quotes its plans privately and lists questionnaire automation, security reviews, access management and several risk features as add-ons. The audit is a separate bill. Compare your actual invoice with the services you use, not just the quoted plan.
- 2
Who owns your records
Ask where the control register, evidence, risk records and people details live, and whether you can keep them independently. Enterprise DNA's option is built around a database you own. Vanta allows downloads of controls, the risk register and the People list.
- 3
Fit with your own rules
Check whether your controls, evidence, access reviews and internal deadlines can follow your rules. Enterprise DNA builds each business its own version around how it runs, so you can consider whether your own fields and processes belong in the system.

What the switch involves
Check which records you can export and what needs arranging separately. Vanta offers spreadsheet downloads for controls, the risk register and People list, plus policies and evidence as documents and a zipped folder. Enterprise DNA brings your Vanta data across, with a test run first.

Questions
Vanta alternatives, answered
Can you move your records out of Vanta? expand_more
Vanta lets you download controls one framework at a time, along with the risk register and People list as spreadsheets. Policies and evidence files come out as documents and a zipped folder. Enterprise DNA brings your Vanta data across, and the records can point to files that stay in your own drive.
Will an auditor accept a system you own? expand_more
Auditors assess whether your controls work and review the evidence behind them. They do not require a particular software product. Your version keeps each control, the evidence location and date, and a record of changes and who made them. Check with your certification body or audit firm before switching.
Will you still have Vanta's automated checks? expand_more
Vanta tests connected systems every hour, and also has a staff portal, a device agent and a hosted trust page. The free version does not cover all of those. Before moving, agree which services you need built into your version and which you will keep with Vanta.
How should you compare the costs? expand_more
Vanta publishes no prices, quotes its plans privately and lists some features as add-ons. The audit is paid separately. Compare your own quote or invoice with Enterprise DNA's one setup fee and monthly retainer. There is also a free version you can run yourself.
