The challenge

Snowflake's customer trust team managed a high volume of complex manual security and compliance requests as it scaled to serve more than 12,000 customers. The team manually distributed roughly 8,000 reports annually through secure file sharing and spent an estimated 2,000-3,000 hours per year on documentation distribution alone, which caused delays and slowed sales cycles.

The solution

Snowflake deployed Vanta's Trust Center, branded internally as its Compliance Center, in about two months to give customers and prospects a self-service portal for security and compliance information. The Compliance Center now handles more than 8,000 interactions annually.

Before Vanta, we used to manually distribute about 8,000 reports annually through secure file sharing.
