Introducing Risk-to-Asset Mapping: Link Risks Directly to Infrastructure in Vanta for Better Assessments and Audits
Risk-to-Asset Mapping
What's new:
You can now directly link risks to your actual infrastructure and systems inside Vanta. Beautiful.
The problem this solves:
Until now, tracking which assets are impacted by specific risks meant:
Maintaining external spreadsheets (no fun)
Hacky workarounds with custom fields (no fun x2)
Generic risk scenarios with no clear tie to real systems (no fun x3)
What you can do now:
Link risks to integrations: Connect risk scenarios directly to your cloud environments, SaaS apps, or other connected systems
Auto-surface impacted assets: Once mapped, Vanta automatically shows you all current and future assets from those integrations
Manage it all in one place: Map relationships from the risk detail page sidebar or the new "Impacted Assets" tab
Why this matters:
Better risk assessment: Ground your risks in real systems, not abstract scenarios
Smarter prioritization: Focus remediation on the assets that actually matter to your business
Stronger audit evidence: Show auditors exactly which systems are in scope for each risk (SOC 2, ISO 27001, and other frameworks expect this)
No more manual tracking: Stop maintaining separate docs to track risk-to-asset relationships
