FAQ
When should I use Vanta instead of ExpiryEdge?
If your primary goal is to get SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001 or HIPAA certified, Vanta is purpose-built for that. It automates evidence collection across your SaaS stack and maps it to framework controls. ExpiryEdge is not a SOC 2 automation tool.
When should I use ExpiryEdge instead of Vanta?
If you need to track operational deadlines — licence renewals, insurance, certifications, equipment inspections, vendor contracts — and run SOP workflows around them, ExpiryEdge is built for that. It costs a fraction of what Vanta does because it does not include framework automation.
Can I use both ExpiryEdge and Vanta?
Yes — and many growing companies do. Vanta handles your SOC 2 / ISO 27001 framework readiness. ExpiryEdge handles the operational deadlines, vendor renewals, certifications and SOP checklists that sit outside the security framework. They complement each other.
