Vanta to Drata, without losing the audit trail.
A vendor-neutral runbook for moving controls, owners, evidence sources and auditor context. Product-specific steps are added only when verified against current documentation.
Freeze the baseline
Export the active control set, owners, tests, exceptions, policy versions and open auditor requests before configuration changes.
Map, do not blindly copy
Create a control-by-control crosswalk. Record where naming, test cadence or evidence requirements differ.
Reconnect evidence sources
Inventory cloud, identity, HR, ticketing, code and device-management integrations. Validate permissions with least privilege.
Run in parallel
Keep the old workspace readable until scheduled tests pass and evidence gaps are reconciled in the destination.
Protect audit continuity
Tell the auditor what changed, when it changed, and how control operation remained continuous through the transition.
Close with an export
Retain final exports, access logs, exceptions and sign-offs under your evidence-retention policy.
Request a complete data-export example, integration permission list, historical evidence behavior, offboarding terms and confirmation of how auditor access works.
