A named engineer, not a ticket queue
One person scopes your work, answers the "how far do we take this control?" questions and stays through the audit. You know their name on day one.

Where AccuSights differs
What a self-serve platform, by design, leaves with you.
Implementation is included
Policies drafted, configurations fixed, evidence collected, with you or with your IT provider. Remediation is part of the fee, not a referral to a partner directory.
A fixed fee, in writing, after one call
A 30-minute scoping call, then a fixed fee in writing. The number on the quote is the number on the agreement.
The endpoint agent is built in
Our own agent collects device evidence from every laptop and server. You do not need to buy and configure an enterprise MDM first.
Protect, when you need eyes on it overnight
AI-powered and human-enabled: Aegis, our AI security agents, watch your computers and email day and night and contain clear threats, with an AccuSights engineer confirming what they did and calling you on any critical finding. From $25 a user a month, 10 users minimum (AccuSights pricing page).

Questions about Vanta and AccuSights
Can we use Vanta and AccuSights together?
Yes. Some clients come to us already on a platform and want a named engineer to run it, close the gaps and sit through the audit. We work inside the tool you have. Most small companies find our platform plus the engineer covers the need, but the choice is yours and we say so on the scoping form.
Does Vanta include the audit?
No. Vanta prepares and monitors; the SOC 2 report is issued by a licensed CPA firm you engage separately, which its auditor directory helps you find (Vanta pricing page, fetched 6 October 2026). The same is true of AccuSights: we get you ready and coordinate the auditor, and we do not issue the report.
Is AccuSights cheaper than Vanta?
We cannot say, because Vanta does not publish prices; its pricing page asks you to request a demo for personalized pricing. Our fee is fixed, from $6,000 a year for SOC 2 readiness, in writing after a 30-minute scoping call, and it includes the implementation work. Compare the two numbers for your own scope, including whatever services you would buy alongside the platform.
What does Vanta do better than AccuSights?
Breadth and scale. About 57 framework and product pages, a large integration catalogue, a Trust Center and questionnaire automation built for companies with many customers to answer. If you are a 300-person software company with a compliance team, that catalogue matters. If you are 12 people, the engineer matters more.
Where do these facts come from?
From Vanta's own published pages, fetched on 6 October 2026, and from G2 and one independent review, named beside each statement. We did not interview Vanta and we do not speak for it. If something here is out of date, tell us and we will correct it.
Next step
Pick the help, not the hype.
Thirty minutes with a compliance engineer: your scope, what it will take, and a fixed fee in writing that includes the implementation work.
The regulator has the final say. We help interpret, scope and get you ready; we do not certify.
