The challenge

Accelerating enterprise demand, including the launch of GitHub Copilot, increased the volume of inbound security questionnaires GitHub needed to answer. Handling that volume manually risked slowing the sales cycle.

The solution

GitHub worked with Vanta to build questionnaire automation in partnership with its security and product engineering teams, alongside a Trust Center, to answer inbound security questionnaires at enterprise scale.

Vanta helped us unblock our sales cycle for security questionnaires in a scalable, sustainable way.
