Vanta Quick Start
If your organisation uses Vanta to support its ISO compliance programme but you are struggling to keep your management system up to date, Assent Risk Management can provide independent ISO consultancy and internal audit support.
Improve your Management System
If your organisation already uses Vanta, we can work alongside your existing compliance arrangements to help you maintain and improve your management system.
Keeping Your System Up to date
Policies may need updating, risks can change, corrective actions can remain unresolved, and internal audits or management reviews can be delayed. Evidence may also need to be reviewed to ensure it reflects the organisation’s current activities.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Yes.
Internal auditing is a fundamental requirement of relevant ISO management system standards, but it can be difficult to maintain the necessary expertise, time and independence using internal resources alone.
Assent’s experienced ISO consultants and auditors can undertake your internal audit programme and provide documented audit reports outlining findings, potential weaknesses and opportunities for improvement.
Where appropriate, the results and supporting evidence can be incorporated into your existing compliance records and Vanta workflows, subject to the functionality and access available within your environment.
An independent internal audit can also provide a valuable perspective on whether your controls are working effectively in practice, rather than simply whether evidence has been collected.
Our aim is to help your organisation identify issues, address nonconformities and strengthen its management system before the next external audit.
Yes.
If your next certification or surveillance audit is approaching, Assent can undertake an independent review of your management system to help establish whether it is ready.
We can review relevant policies, procedures, risk assessments, controls, audit records and supporting evidence. We can also identify outstanding activities, highlight potential gaps and help your team address weaknesses before the external audit.
For organisations using Vanta, this may involve reviewing the information available through the platform alongside other relevant records and processes to establish whether the evidence reflects the organisation’s actual arrangements.
It is important to understand that a platform’s compliance status does not, by itself, guarantee certification. Vanta can help automate and organise compliance activities, but an external audit and certification decision remain the responsibility of the relevant independent auditor and certification body.
Assent’s role is to help you understand the requirements, maintain your management system and approach the audit with greater confidence.
No.
If you are satisfied with your existing compliance platform and certification arrangements, appointing an independent ISO consultant does not inherently require you to change them.
Assent can provide consultancy, management system maintenance and internal audit services alongside your existing arrangements, allowing you to continue using Vanta where it meets your needs.
Our focus is on helping your organisation get the most from its existing compliance processes while ensuring that the management system behind them remains effective and up to date.
