Vanta vs Delve vs Screenata
Vanta is the established, template-first GRC dashboard; Delve is a newer AI-native, YC-backed platform with a very wide framework catalog including AI-governance standards. The contrast is maturity-and-breadth vs AI-native-and-fast. Screenata is also AI-driven, but with a specific model: deterministic policies from infrastructure, claim-to-signed-artifact traceability, and operation from Slack and the CLI for $5,988/year per framework ($499/mo).

Vanta, Delve, and Screenata, line by line.
The detail
How Vanta and Delve actually differ.
Vanta and Delve bracket two generations of compliance tooling. Vanta is the mature, template-first GRC dashboard: the largest integration catalog, deep market presence, and a proven playbook for SOC 2 and ISO 27001. Delve is the AI-native, YC-backed (W24) newcomer betting that onboarding and evidence can be driven by AI, with an unusually wide framework catalog that reaches into AI-governance standards like ISO 42001, the EU AI Act, and NIST AI RMF. The axis is maturity-and-ecosystem versus AI-native speed and framework breadth, an established platform against a newer, model-driven one.
Vanta wins on trust and reach: an enormous connector library, ubiquity with auditors and buyers, and years of hardening make it the low-risk default. Delve wins for teams that want AI-native onboarding and the broadest catalog, especially anyone who needs emerging AI-governance frameworks that older platforms haven't prioritized. The honest tradeoff is proven breadth versus frontier coverage and speed: Vanta is the safer, more universally recognized choice, while Delve trades some maturity for a faster, AI-first experience and frameworks the incumbents are slower to add.
Screenata is also AI-driven, so the contrast with Delve isn't "AI or not", it's the model. Vera writes policies deterministically from your real infrastructure (an overpromise detector rejects claims your systems can't support), then chains each claim to a cryptographically signed, RFC 3161-timestamped artifact verifiable outside the platform. Pick Vanta for ecosystem maturity, Delve for AI-native onboarding and the widest framework catalog including AI governance, and Screenata if you want an agent that runs the program from Slack, email, and PRs with grounded policies and signed evidence, at $5,988/year per framework ($499/mo).

Vanta vs Delve, answered.
What's the difference between Vanta and Delve?
Vanta is a mature, template-first GRC dashboard; Delve is AI-native with a very broad framework catalog including AI-governance standards like ISO 42001 and the EU AI Act. Screenata is also AI-driven but differs by writing policies deterministically from infrastructure and tracing every claim to a signed artifact you can verify outside the platform.
Is Delve or Screenata the better AI compliance tool?
Both are genuinely AI-driven, so it comes down to model. Delve emphasizes AI-native onboarding and framework breadth. Screenata emphasizes deterministic policies from your real infrastructure, an overpromise detector, claim-to-signed-evidence traceability, and operation from Slack, the CLI, and your PRs at $5,988/year per framework ($499/mo).
Is Delve a YC company?
Yes, Delve is Y Combinator-backed (W24) and positions itself as AI-native with a very broad framework catalog, including AI-governance standards. Vanta is the larger, more established platform. Screenata is also AI-driven but grounds policies in your infrastructure and signs its evidence, at $5,988/year per framework ($499/mo).
Which supports AI-governance frameworks like ISO 42001, Vanta or Delve?
Delve is the stronger fit for AI-governance frameworks, its catalog explicitly reaches ISO 42001, the EU AI Act, and NIST AI RMF. Vanta centers on established frameworks like SOC 2, ISO 27001, and HIPAA. Screenata focuses on SOC 2, HIPAA, and ISO 27001 with deterministic, scan-grounded policies.
Can I migrate from Vanta to an AI-native tool?
Yes, though switching platforms means reconnecting integrations and rebuilding evidence, work usually timed to renewal since Vanta is an annual contract. Screenata, which is AI-native, re-derives policies and evidence from your live infrastructure, so there's no manual re-import to carry over.
