Vanta’s Engagement Letter helps you build trust with prospects and stakeholders before your audit is complete. It confirms your active subscription with Vanta, outlines your engagement with an auditing firm, and includes a link to your Trust Center so others can view your real-time security posture. This feature is especially useful for sales, compliance, and leadership teams who want to move quickly without sacrificing trust.
