When reviewing your list of tests, you might notice that some tests have deadlines alongside orange or red statuses.
A test with items that need attention but are not overdue will have an orange icon.
A test that has overdue items will have a red icon.
The detail view for the test will display the individual deadlines for each detected item.
Vanta is proactively notifying you regarding the SLAs you've committed to. For example, if you've committed to an SLA that "Ex-employees are offboarded within three days", Vanta will surface newly removed ex-employees alongside a 3-day recommended deadline.
You can edit your SLA commitments on the Tests page
Tests needing attention will only be shown in reports and made visible to your auditor if the deadline is exceeded (red). This gives you a chance to fix issues before they're flagged.
