Security frameworks, or the whole bank program.
Regulatory change
Vanta ships framework libraries for security standards. We found no feed that tracks new rules and amendments from regulators.
An agent reads the Federal Register and eCFR, and every citation is versioned by amendment date, so you see what changed and what it touches.
Exams and findings
Vanta’s auditor portal serves SOC 2 and ISO audits within an observation window. We found no exam or MRA tracking.
Examiners get scoped, time-boxed access, and no finding or MRA closes without remediation evidence and a second approver.
AI that waits for you
Vanta’s MCP server can upload policies, change risks and manage controls, and its documentation says there is no read-only mode.
Every agent output in Zovos stays a proposal until a person accepts it, and your assistant works under your own role.
Line by line, in plain words.

| Pricing | Published Starting prices are published by asset size, from $75k a year, with every module and the AI agents included. | Quote only Essentials, Plus, Professional and Enterprise tiers, with no prices shown. |

Pick the one that fits your program.
- A very large library of integrations and automated tests, used by more than 16,000 businesses.
- A mature SOC 2 and ISO 27001 audit workflow with a dedicated auditor portal.
- Early, well-documented MCP and agent tooling.
Your main goal is a SOC 2 or ISO 27001 report for a technology company, and continuous monitoring of cloud infrastructure matters most.
You run a financial institution’s compliance, risk and audit program, and you answer to examiners rather than to a SOC 2 auditor.
