Get Audit Readiness Status via MCP Server

Execute `vanta_compliance_status` in a headless pipeline. The tool delivers the overall compliance posture, including pass rates and critical alerts for all frameworks (SOC 2/ISO/GDPR). You pipe this JSON output directly into your CI/CD logging system to enforce gating checks. If the audit readiness score drops below threshold X, the build fails immediately.

Audit Endpoint Compliance with Claude Code

`vanta_list_computers` outputs a machine-readable list of all endpoints. You can run this in a scheduled job to check device inventory compliance across your fleet. The data includes OS version, encryption status, and antivirus presence. This makes it ideal for running pre-deployment security checks.

Monitor Vulnerability Status via MCP Server

`vanta_list_vulnerabilities` fetches detected security vulnerabilities across your infrastructure. It returns severity, CVE IDs, and the required SLA deadline for remediation. You run this as a nightly job to populate a dashboard or trigger automated alerts if any critical vulnerability passes its deadline.
