Vanta Vendor Risk is a capable module — if you are already buying Vanta's compliance-automation platform. If you just need a vendor-risk program and HIPAA BAA tracking, you shouldn't have to buy the whole suite. Covenant is the standalone, flat-priced alternative.

Competitor figures from public pricing pages and third-party quotes, 2025–2026. Vanta is a trademark of its owner; Covenant is not affiliated with or endorsed by it.
Adopt vendor risk on its own, without committing to a full compliance-automation contract you may not be ready for.
For PHI-handling practices, BAA tracking is the obligation that matters most — and it's the workflow Covenant builds around, for free.
Evidence maps to NIST SR, HIPAA, SOC 2, and ISO and feeds the shared Dosanjh Labs evidence graph for Sightline and Bastion when you grow into them.
Free for 10 vendors with full BAA tracking. No card, no sales call.
