Vanta: Essentials tier gains AI Agent control mapping & SLA tracking (from Plus)
What happened
Between the Aug 17, 2026 and Aug 24, 2026 captures of Vanta's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Essentials plan's Vanta AI Agent description now includes policy control mapping and SLA tracking with remediation (previously Plus-exclusive); Plus's differentiator blurb narrowed to Automated policy onboarding only. In detail: Policy control mapping and SLA tracking with remediation moved from Plus-exclusive AI Agent features into the base Essentials plan; Plus's differentiator blurb now lists only Automated policy onboarding. Pulse files it as a product change (feature change) with a neutral direction.
It lands 142 days after Vanta's previous change, "Vanta Launches AI-Powered Customer Commitment Tracking as New Add-On" (Apr 3, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Vanta launches AI-powered Customer Commitments add-on for compliance tracking" (Mar 18, 2026), "Vanta removes "add-On" label for Enterprise features" (Feb 18, 2026) and "Vanta Unifies Pricing Structure and Enhances AI Agent with New 'Agentic' Capabilities" (Jan 12, 2026). Vanta has been tracked since 2023-12-09.
In the same window Secureframe, Workato, Tenable and Drata also changed their Cybersecurity & Identity Management pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
