Migrating from Vanta or Drata

Renewal coming up? Escape the sticker shock.

Vanta and Drata renewals come with 10–25% YoY price hikes plus framework add-on surprises. Thirdsentry is flat-fee, unlimited users, AI included, framework expansion priced predictably. No renewal fights.

We'll match your current renewal date — pay nothing on Thirdsentry until your old platform ends.

The math

Where the renewal surprise comes from.

Three pricing patterns, all moving against you at once at renewal.

Per-seat pricing creep

Your security team grew by 4 people this year. So did your bill — even though the platform didn't change.

Framework add-on fees

Adding HIPAA on top of SOC 2 + ISO? That's a separate line item. Documented in 2026 mid-market renewal data.

AI as a paid SKU

AI agents shipped in 2025 came with paid tier moves. The features you signed up for came back as a quote.

Defensible edge · Posture Divergence Detection

When the questionnaire and live exposure disagree, you find out first.

Three-layer scoring on every vendor — Business Criticality, Assessed Posture, and Live External Exposure. When the gap exceeds threshold, divergence fires automatically: the parent risk record updates, a remediation task is generated, and your owners get notified before the next reassessment cycle.

Three layers, one score
Severity tiered alerts
Auto-routes to owners

No competitor markets this today. Drata's Agentic TPRM evaluates vendor evidence against criteria but doesn't reconcile against live signals. Black Kite and Bitsight measure external posture but not assessed posture. We sit at the intersection.

60-day migration

From renewal notice to cutover — in 60 days.

1

Day 0–7 · Discovery + import

Two calls with your CSM. We import your existing framework activations, control mappings, evidence vault, vendor list, and policy library. You don't manually reupload anything.

2

Day 7–30 · Mirror + activate

Your existing setup is mirrored on our platform. Cross-framework mappings auto-apply; vendor program goes live with three-layer scoring; evidence index is populated.

3

Day 30–60 · Cutover + retire

AUDITOR role goes live for your auditor. Your team works in parallel for two weeks to confirm parity. Cutover at the next renewal date — pay nothing on the new platform until the old one ends.

What you keep

You don't lose anything in the move.

All your frameworks

SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, NIST, PCI — pre-seeded on day one. Your existing activations import directly.

Your full vendor list

Imported with criticality, contacts, and assessment history. Posture Divergence Detection starts running immediately.

Your evidence vault

Uploaded artifacts indexed and linked to controls. Tenant-scoped vector retrieval is live from day one.

Your audit trail

Historical activity preserved. AuditLog runs on every action going forward — defensible to your examiner.
