Vanta has unveiled its expanded footprint in Australia and New Zealand through the inauguration of a new data centre in Sydney, coupled with heightened support for local compliance frameworks, marking a strategic move to empower businesses in the region to navigate evolving regulatory landscapes.
This announcement comes in the wake of the Australian government's introduction of the Cyber Security Act, ushering in enhanced compliance requirements for small enterprises. Vanta's initiative encompasses bolstered support for frameworks like CPS 234 and Essential Eight, alongside a reinforced regional support team. These developments underscore Vanta's unwavering commitment to assisting regional businesses in streamlining their compliance processes effectively.
"As Vanta continues expanding our presence in the ANZ region, we're ensuring that our customers have more control over where their data is stored and can provide confidence that their data is safe, secure, and accessible," said Jonathon Coleman, General Manager, APAC at Vanta. "We're committed to helping ANZ businesses confidently scale their compliance programmes, providing them with the localised capabilities and expertise needed to strengthen their security and compliance, and demonstrate trust."
The newly established data centre, located in Sydney, New South Wales, caters to organisations in Australia and New Zealand, enabling them to securely house their data within the region, aligning with regulatory directives and internal data residency policies.

In terms of regulatory alignment, Vanta now extends support to the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) CPS 234 framework, critical for financial institutions seeking to fortify data protection measures and resilience against cyber threats. By providing an automated pathway to meet CPS 234 requirements, Vanta equips customers to navigate evolving controls and policy mandates seamlessly, facilitating ongoing compliance adherence.
