What Vanta does well

First-mover compliance-automation platform — broadest set of pre-built control integrations
Public Trust Center surface lets prospects vet your security posture without an NDA
AI-driven questionnaire automation reduces RFP / vendor-security-review pain
Strong partner network for SOC 2 / ISO 27001 auditors and pen-testing firms
Continuous monitoring covers MDM, identity, code, infra — modern SaaS stack assumption

What WP HealthKit does differently

WordPress-native: understands plugin headers, hooks, capabilities, REST namespaces, WooCommerce checkout flows
Per-audit 49-layer verification engine — 45 deterministic scanners + 4 AI engines, including a Tier 2 AI/LLM safety scanner
Fleet dashboard for the agency working surface: every client × every plugin, with score delta + compliance chips + "changed since last visit"
EU CRA Annex I §1(2) requirements mapped per plugin — the Conformity Statement is ready to ship to a regulator
Per-plugin diff-aware re-audits — re-audits within 14 days are free, the AI cost drops 80–90% on unchanged files
Pricing scaled to agency economics: $299/mo flat, not a 5-figure annual contract negotiated through a sales rep

Where they overlap

Distinct surfaces. Vanta watches your company's cloud infra, identity, code repos, employee laptops. WP HealthKit audits the WordPress plugin + theme code shipping inside each client site. The only nominal overlap is that both produce "compliance reports" — the standards they target are entirely different.

When to use both

You operate a WordPress agency that's also pursuing SOC 2 for your own infrastructure (Vanta for the firm, WP HealthKit for the client portfolio)
You sell a SaaS-style WordPress hosting product (Vanta for the platform SOC 2, WP HealthKit for per-tenant CRA reports)
You're a WordPress DXP / managed-hosts vendor (Vanta for ISO 27001 of your infra, WP HealthKit for compliance reports of each customer's stack)

Decision framework

If you need...	Use...
SOC 2 / ISO 27001 of a SaaS company	Vanta
EU CRA conformity for WordPress products	WP HealthKit
Per-plugin WCAG / EAA accessibility verdicts	WP HealthKit
Public Trust Center / prospect-facing security page	Vanta
Continuous monitoring of WordPress plugin updates + CVE matches	WP HealthKit
Both — you run a SaaS and a WordPress agency	Use both
