very complexpartially automatable🔁 once⏳ has async waits

Begin SOC 2 Type I compliance journey using Vanta, set up policies, and begin evidence collection.

Vanta API supports test monitoring and evidence collection. Policy creation and auditor engagement need human input.

Current agent ceiling

An agent can run 3 of 9 steps 3 of them behind a human approval gate ⏸

⚡ Closable with today’s market (2 — via Browser Automation for Agents, Workflow Automation): Create Vanta account (computer-use candidate — a browser agent can drive this deterministic web flow); Employee security training (a workflow with webhooks/polling watches this so no human has to)

Irreducibly human (3): Review and customize policies (needs a human); Engage auditor (needs a human); Complete audit (needs a human)

No workaround yet (1): Connect integrations (manual form/portal — no API path)

How it runs

Route-coded block flow: emerald = agent, amber = manual form/portal, red = needs a human. ⏸ approval gate · ⏳ async wait.
