Trust Circles

Security, compliance, and trust challenges don’t always come with a playbook. Trust Circles brings together groups of practitioners facing similar challenges to swap ideas, share what’s working, and learn from each other through virtual roundtables and ongoing conversations in the Vanta Community.

No product pitches, just real conversations. Guided by the Chatham House Rule, you can share what you learn, but not who you learned it from.

Find a Circle that speaks to what you’re working on, the challenges you’re tackling, or the people you’d like to connect with. We’re actively recruiting members for the Circles below, and your interest helps bring them to life!

Don’t see one that resonates? We want to hear your ideas! Tell us what your ideal Circle would look like, who you’d want to connect with, and what topics you’d explore together.

The Trust Boardroom → Communicating security, risk, and compliance priorities to executives and your board.
Risk Takers → Identifying, assessing, and managing risks across your business and third-party vendors.
AI Governance → Building policies and processes to manage AI risks and support responsible AI use.
Trust, Automated with AI → For builders exploring MCP, APIs, and AI agents to automate workflows and scale their impact.
Women Shaping Trust → Connecting women working in security, compliance, risk, privacy, and IT.
Trust, Year One → Connecting with others early in their security, compliance, or risk careers.
Compliance from scratch → Getting your first compliance program up and running, from policies to audits.

Trust Circles | Frequently Asked Questions 1. What’s the time commitment? Trust Circles are designed to fit into your schedule. Expect virtual roundtables, opportunities to connect with peers, and ongoing conversations in the Vanta Community. The more you put in, the more you’ll get out! 2. What happens after I sign up? We review registrations weekly to understand your interests, experience, and which Circle might be the best fit. We’ll follow up with next steps, whether that’s an invitation to join an active Circle or an update on one that’s still forming. 3. What if the Circle I’m interested in hasn’t launched yet? Some Circles are already connecting, while others are still recruiting members. Your interest helps us determine which Circles to launch next! We’ll keep you posted as your Circle takes shape. 4. How are members selected? Trust Circles are intentionally small, bringing together approximately 10–15 practitioners with shared challenges, interests, or experiences. We review registrations to make sure each Circle brings together people who can learn from and contribute to the conversation. 5. Can I join more than one Circle? Absolutely! If multiple Circles align with your interests, let us know when you register. We’ll work with you to find the right fit based on your interests and available space. 6. Do I need to be a Vanta Community member? Yes! Trust Circles are part of the Vanta Community, so membership is required to participate. Not a member yet? Join the Vanta Community to get connected and start finding your people! 7. What is the Chatham House Rule? What’s shared in the Circle can be discussed outside of it, but who said it stays in the Circle. This helps create a space where practitioners can share experiences, ask questions, and have candid conversations without their comments being tied back to them or their organizations. 8. What if I don’t see a Circle that’s right for me? We want to hear your ideas! Tell us what challenges you’re tackling, who you’d like to connect with, and what conversations you’d want to have. We’re always exploring new Circles based on what our community wants to talk about. 9. Is there a cost to participate? No! Trust Circles are a benefit of being part of the Vanta Community. 10. Who leads the conversations? Trust Circles are peer-led, with Vanta helping bring the right people together and facilitate connections. These aren’t product demos or sales presentations. They’re opportunities to learn from practitioners navigating similar challenges.
