Vanta's Event Log shows a history of changes made within Vanta including administrative activities, data modification, and user logins. This will give admins within your Vanta account a detailed understanding of who did what and when actions occurred, giving you more visibility into activity within Vanta and assisting with:

  • Debugging and troubleshooting any issues caused by changes

  • Detecting compliance and security violations to reconstruct any breaches

  • Providing any legal compliance evidence

Accessing the Event Log

  • Click the user icon in the upper right corner of Vanta

  • Select Event log from the dropdown
