Founders can now turn compliance from a bottleneck into a growth engine by slashing audit time and automating evidence collection.
Automat-it, an AWS Premier Tier Partner and Managed Service Provider (MSP), today announced its entry into the Vanta partner program. By integrating Vanta’s industry-leading trust management platform with Automat-it’s deep AWS expertise, the partnership empowers AWS start-up customers to slash the time required for audit readiness, transforming complex security compliance from a growth bottleneck into a powerful, marketable competitive advantage.
Turning Compliance into a Competitive Edge
“For too long, compliance has been a manual drag on engineering teams,” said Noam Rahi, Executive VP of Business Development and Strategy. “By embedding Vanta’s trust management platform into our Compliance Guard Suite, we aren’t just checking boxes, we are helping AWS-based startups prove their security posture in real-time, get audit-ready, close deals faster, and build immediate trust with their own customers.”
Vanta’s industry-first Agentic Trust Platform helps teams understand their environment, anticipate what’s next, and automate workflows across compliance, risk, and security assessments. Over 15,000 companies, including Atlassian, Golden State Warriors, Icelandair, and Ramp, rely on Vanta to earn and prove trust continuously.
The Automat-it Compliance Guard Suite
Combining Automat-it’s expertise and existing offering with Vanta’s market-leading platform removes the friction of regulatory adherence for founders. Startups can now expect to:
- Gain confidence with a thorough security review of business operations and cloud security posture based on AWS best practices

- Streamline evidence collection with automated, continuous monitoring and generated compliance reports
- Minimize risk in an evolving regulatory landscape with technical fixes to extend compliance across multiple accounts and regions.
Automat-It uses hands-on DevOps, FinOps, and AI expertise to deliver these benefits through its Compliance Guard Suite. The suite comprises four powerful framework-specific solutions to assess the environment, identify compliance gaps, implement controls, and monitor continuously for drift detection and automated evidence refresh:
