Vanta publishes no pricing and routes all buyers to a sales demo, blocking agents from computing cost before signup.
Older scan
This report was produced by an earlier version of the scanner. Some findings may not match how the site is measured now.
Present. Agents lose ground at specific gates, not everywhere.
Ordered by what the evidence says is costing most. Written for whoever owns the site, not whoever builds it.
3 pieces of evidence and the recommended fix are recorded for this issue, with /pricing.md written from your own pages.
This is a basic scan, so it raises the three issues the deterministic evidence supports. A deep scan sends two agents over the site and raises up to ten, each with cited evidence and the screens to prove it.
A deep scan walks the site with two agents, records cited evidence and screenshots, and keeps a mission timeline. It comes with the paid plans. Making an account costs nothing and gives you one basic scan a month.
The score and the audit trail stay public. The evidence and the files open with an account.
The audit trail behind every number above. Not measured is not zero.
Machine discoverability
No AI crawler is blocked by robots.txt, a real browser is served the page normally, and the sitemap lists 1286 URLs. However, the homepage carries no JSON-LD or microdata markup, so machines cannot extract product details, pricing tiers or.
4 observations recorded.
Programmatic onboarding
The developer documentation at developer.vanta.com contains 1513 characters of text but shows no API credentials, endpoints, code samples, authentication documentation or self-serve key issuance.
3 observations recorded.
Pricing legibility
The pricing page at vanta.com/pricing publishes zero prices in raw HTML or rendered output. The page routes visitors to a demo request form instead, making it impossible for an agent to compute total cost of ownership before signup.
1 observation recorded.
Agent-aware instrumentation
An MCP manifest is published.
4 observations recorded.
Machine-fetchable trust
security.txt is published at /.well-known/security.txt with a contact route for machines. The homepage responds to automated requests with HTTP 200 and renders normally in a browser, establishing basic trust signals.
2 observations recorded.
Commercial rails
A self-serve signup form is reachable 2 steps from the homepage and asks for 14 fields with 7 required. The form does not ask for payment, and the primary call to action routes to a demo request, not a trial or purchase flow.
2 observations recorded.
Steps to first value
The signup form is 2 steps from the homepage. However, the form itself is a demo request, not a trial activation, so the path to working access requires a sales conversation after submission.
1 observation recorded.
Required fields
The signup form contains 14 fields total, of which 7 are required: work email, first name, last name, company name, job title, company headcount and company HQ country. This is a high barrier for an agent to clear without human context.
1 observation recorded.
Verification walls
No verification requirement appears on the signup page itself. The form does not ask for email confirmation, phone verification or identity proof before submission. What happens after submission could not be observed in this scan.
1 observation recorded.
Error recovery
7 of 14 form inputs carry validation rules, providing inline feedback for malformed entries. No live regions or inline error containers were detected, so error messages may not be announced to assistants.
1 observation recorded.
It got through 7 of 15.
The agent got through 7 of 15 requests, but could not read the site's own guide for language models. It came up empty on 7 other checks too. That is enough missing for a machine to give up before it reaches a purchase.
