Vanta Launches Agentic Trust Platform — 24/7 AI GRC Engineer Replaces Manual Compliance Analyst Layer

BusinessWire·medium signal

Vanta's AI Agent 2.0 (November 2025) operates as a perpetual GRC engineer that continuously monitors compliance posture, anticipates audit risks, and automates assessments across SOC 2, HIPAA, and ISO 27001 without human scheduling. The architectural shift moves compliance from periodic human-led audit cycles to always-on agentic synchronization — directly displacing the compliance analyst and consultant labor layer that legacy GRC platforms assumed would remain. Snyk's parallel Evo platform targets the same automation of the AI Security Engineer role, with both companies betting the compliance/security analyst is the first professional category fully replaced by AI agents.
