Siege Cyber Now an Official Vanta Partner: Your Expert Guide to SOC 2 and ISO 27001 Compliance in Australia
Achieving SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certification is critical for Australian businesses winning enterprise contracts and demonstrating security excellence. Yet whilst Vanta automates evidence collection and monitoring, research shows the platform represents only about 20% of the compliance solution. The remaining 80% requires expert cybersecurity guidance, strategic planning, and hands-on implementation support.
This is where Siege Cyber bridges the gap. As an official Vanta partner, Siege Cyber combines over 20 years of cybersecurity expertise with deep knowledge of the Vanta platform to help Australian organisations achieve compliance efficiently.
Why You Need a Vanta Expert
Many organisations invest in Vanta expecting a complete solution, only to discover they need specialised expertise to configure the platform correctly, implement controls properly, and prepare for audits. Vanta’s 375+ integrations and 1,200+ automated tests are powerful, but understanding which integrations to prioritise, how to interpret results, and how to remediate gaps requires hands-on knowledge.
Research demonstrates that organisations working with expert Vanta partners reduce audit completion times by 50%, with SOC 2 Type I achievable in just 8-12 weeks compared to 3-5 months for manual processes. ISO 27001 timelines drop from 12-18 months to 12-24 weeks with proper automation and expert guidance.
Siege Cyber’s Vanta Implementation Services
Siege Cyber provides comprehensive support across your entire compliance journey. Initial gap analysis assesses your current security posture against SOC 2 or ISO 27001 requirements, identifying specific weaknesses and creating a customised roadmap. Platform configuration ensures Vanta integrations are set up correctly and all critical controls are properly implemented.
For SOC 2 compliance, Siege Cyber helps you demonstrate effective control operation over time, conduct formal risk assessments, maintain comprehensive documentation, and prepare for auditor interviews. For ISO 27001, the team guides you through ISMS scoping, risk assessment methodology, Statement of Applicability development, and preparation for stage 1 and stage 2 audits.
Ongoing advisory support ensures you maintain continuous compliance, respond effectively to Vanta alerts, and stay audit-ready year-round. This continuous approach reduces recertification time by 60% compared to initial certification efforts.
