Vanta + Memtro

Which Vanta tests are failing, and which resources are causing them?

Vanta connects Memtro to your compliance automation. It reads automated tests with what fails and how to fix it, the resources each test checks, and controls with their owners. It reads the vendor register with risk levels and review dates, issues, vulnerabilities with SLA dates, evidence documents and the tenant's users. When asked and granted, it can assign owners, link evidence, manage vendors and their findings, add and edit risk scenarios, deactivate or reactivate test items and vulnerabilities, and complete offboarding for named people. Only a Vanta Admin can create the application Memtro connects with.

In Memtro

What you can do with Vanta in Memtro

Ask in plain English from chat, your editor, a scheduled job or your own agent. The model picks the right Vanta tool, reads what it needs, and answers with the source cited.

What it does

  1. 01Automated tests with status, owner, last run and failing item count, and for failing tests what is wrong and how to fix it.
  2. 02The resources a test checks, failing or deactivated, and controls with their owner and source.
  3. 03The vendor register with risk levels, owners, contract renewal and review dates, and issues with severity, status and due date.
  4. 04Vulnerabilities with severity, CVSS, fixed version and remediate-by date, evidence documents with status, and the tenant's users.
  5. 05When asked and granted, assigns control and document owners, links evidence that auditors can open, adds, edits or deletes vendors, and records or updates vendor findings. No vendor is contacted.
  6. 06When asked and granted, adds and edits risk scenarios, deactivates or reactivates test items and vulnerabilities, and completes offboarding for named former employees.

Acts when asked

When you ask it to

These tools change something in Vanta. The model is told to use them only when you ask for exactly that, and an administrator grants each one by name to the teams that may use it; a personal connection acts only after its owner allows it.

  1. 01Assign or change a control's owner
  2. 02Assign or change a document's owner
  3. 03Link evidence (a URL) to a document
  4. 04Add a vendor
  5. 05Edit a vendor, including its status and risk levels
  6. 06Delete a vendor (permanent)
  7. 07Record a vendor finding
  8. 08Update a vendor finding's risk status or remediation
  9. 09Add a risk scenario to the risk register
  10. 10Edit a risk scenario's scores, treatment or owner
  11. 11Deactivate a test item so it stops counting against a test
  12. 12Reactivate a deactivated test item
  13. 13Deactivate monitoring for named vulnerabilities
  14. 14Reactivate monitoring for named vulnerabilities
  15. 15Complete offboarding for named former employees (marks their unmonitored accounts deactivated)
In practice

Ask it like you would a colleague

Once Vanta is connected, these are the kinds of things people ask. Plain questions, no syntax. If the answer lives partly in another system you have connected, Memtro looks there too.

  • Which tests are failing, and how do we fix them?

  • Which vulnerabilities pass their remediate-by date this month?

  • Which vendors have a security review due this quarter?

  • Which evidence documents need an update?

  • Make Dan Fletcher the owner of the access review control.

01

Getting ready for audit

Priya Sharma, compliance lead at Acme Ltd, asked what was failing ahead of the audit. Memtro listed the failing tests with what is wrong and how to fix each, then the exact resources failing the worst one. She assigned the fixes at the next stand-up.

02

Closing out a leaver

Tom Reilly, IT manager at Northwind, asked Memtro to complete offboarding for a former employee. With the action granted, Memtro completed it, recorded as acknowledged by Tom, and Vanta marked the person's unmonitored accounts deactivated. Vanta would have refused had the person still held an active monitored account.

Teams

Where it fits

The teams that lean on Vanta most, a question each of them asks, and what they connect beside it.

Better together

Works with

A record in Vanta is rarely the whole story. Connect the systems that hold the rest and Memtro checks them together, then remembers what it learned so the next question starts further along.

Using something else for the same job, or both? Each connector has its own tools; connect as many as you like.

Setup

How to connect

Connect withClient ID and client secret
  1. 1

    In Vanta, open Settings, then Developer Console, and create an application of the Manage Vanta type named Memtro. Only a Vanta Admin can do this. Copy the client ID and generate the client secret.

  2. 2

    In Memtro, open Connections → Vanta and paste the Client ID and the Client secret. Enter gov in Deployment only for a Vanta Gov tenant.

  3. 3

    An administrator grants the owner, vendor, risk and offboarding actions by name to the teams that may use them. Rotating the secret in Vanta disconnects Memtro.

  4. 4

    Ask which tests are failing and what is wrong with each.

Also works from

Chat in the dashboard, the OpenAI-compatible API, scheduled jobs, and any MCP client: Claude Code, OpenCode, Cursor, Claude Desktop. The Vanta tools are the same everywhere.

FAQ

Every other tool reads, searches or lists. The Connections page labels the tools that act, an administrator grants each one by name to the teams that may use it, and a personal connection acts only after its owner allows it.

Who can use a Vanta connection?+

A personal connection serves only your own requests. A shared connection serves the organisation: everyone, or only the teams an admin chooses. Admins can always add shared connections; other members need the permission.

Does Memtro store my Vanta data?+

Credentials are encrypted at rest. Tool results are cached briefly so agent loops do not repeat identical calls, and the facts the model extracts are saved to your organisation's memory with provenance (system, record and link) so they can be checked and superseded.

How do I connect Vanta?+

Client ID and client secret. In Vanta, open Settings, then Developer Console, and create an application of the Manage Vanta type named Memtro. Only a Vanta Admin can do this. Copy the client ID and generate the client secret.
