Approval workflows for Issues are now available to streamline review and closure processes in Vanta

Approval workflows are now available for Issues Teams can now require formal review before an Issue is considered resolved or closed. Previously, approval often depended on comments, spreadsheets, or separate tools, which made it harder to maintain consistent processes and an auditable record. Admins can configure reusable, multi-step approval workflows in Settings > Compliance > Issue approval. When an Issue is submitted, it moves to Pending review and is locked while approval is in progress. Approvers can approve the Issue or request changes, and it closes automatically after final approval. Requesters can cancel an approval request or send reminders, while email notifications keep everyone informed. New Needs my approval, Awaiting approval, and My Work views make pending reviews easy to find. This gives GRC teams a clear review process inside Vanta, helping ensure remediation and supporting evidence are validated by the right people. --- Availability: Professional, and Enterprise customers with Compliance & Audit Mgmt.
