Vanta

Use Case Examples

Admin Setup

This integration requires read-only access to your Vanta account facilitated via an OAuth Application.

Creating a New Vanta Application

See the official Vanta API Access Setup Guide.

Login to Vanta and navigate to the “Settings” page > then “Developer Console” and then click “Create”:
Give your application a name & description and then select the Manage Vanta App type.
You will see that the OAuth client ID and secret was autogenerated.

**Note: **Only share these two values with trusted team members, as these can be used together to authenticate to the Vanta API. You can always regenerate a new client secret if you want to rotate credentials for security reasons. Dust will only request the vanta-api.all:read scope using these tokens. This will provide Dust with read access to all the “Manage Vanta” endpoints specified here.

Setup in Dust

The tool uses workspace-level credentials, meaning the authentication credentials you provide during setup will be shared by all users in the workspace with access to these tools.

Go to Spaces > Tools in your Dust workspace, click Add Tools, and select Vanta.
Provide the client ID and client secret in the configuration form.
