Junglewise vs Vanta
Vanta is a compliance automation platform: it collects evidence, monitors controls, and gives you policies, a Trust Center and questionnaire automation for SOC 2, ISO 27001 and other frameworks. Junglewise is a security service: it watches your code and AWS account, drafts the fixes, and from the Team plan up has an engineer who makes the judgment calls. One gets you through the audit; the other does the work the audit checks for. Plenty of teams use both.

| Your AWS account | Vanta: More than 100 tests of your configuration against controls, with vulnerabilities from Amazon Inspector tracked against remediation deadlines. | Junglewise: GuardDuty threat findings, CloudTrail activity and Security Hub, with fixes such as deactivating a leaked access key applied when you approve. |
| When a test fails | Vanta: Remediation guidance, and generated code for some failing tests. Your team makes the change. | Junglewise: Junglewise drafts the fix as a pull request or a cloud change and applies it when you approve. |

Which fits
The honest answer depends on your team
Vanta is the better fit when
- A customer contract needs a SOC 2 or ISO 27001 report, and you want a platform auditors already know.
- You need a public Trust Center, policy templates, device monitoring or vendor risk management.
- You are working towards several frameworks at once.
Junglewise is the better fit when
- Your next problem is the security itself: leaked keys, open ports, vulnerable dependencies.
- You want failing checks fixed for you, not only reported.
- You want a security engineer to answer customers' questionnaires with you.
Questions
- Does Junglewise replace Vanta?
- Not for the audit itself. Junglewise does not run a Trust Center, write your policies or monitor laptops. Many teams use both: Vanta to organise the audit, and Junglewise to do the security work the controls describe and to keep watching between audits.
- Which should a startup buy first?
- If a customer needs a SOC 2 report this quarter, a compliance platform and an auditor. If nobody is watching your cloud and code yet, start there: the controls an auditor tests are easier to pass when the work is already being done.
