For many growing companies, keeping track of who has access to what is not just a security concern–it is an essential compliance requirement. However, proving that access is granular and need-based, ensuring former employees are deprovisioned, and collecting evidence for audits, can be slow, manual, and error-prone.
That is why we partnered with Vanta on a new integration that makes access management and compliance seamless. By connecting your organization’s Tailscale network (tailnet) to Vanta, you can automatically sync user and access data. Vanta then checks that accounts are up to date, flags discrepancies, and generates the compliance evidence you need, without endless spreadsheets or manual reviews.
Together, Tailscale and Vanta combine secure access and automated compliance into one workflow. Tailscale provides secure connectivity across your infrastructure, while Vanta makes that access visible, verifiable, and audit-ready. The result is a stronger security posture, smoother audits, and more time for your team to focus on building and scaling.
The integration uses Tailscale’s API through an OAuth client with “Read Users” permission. Once connected, Vanta pulls information about each Tailscale user, including ID, name, email, role, status, and last seen date, on an hourly basis. If you manage multiple tailnets, you can connect them all to Vanta for complete visibility.
Notably, Vanta never makes changes to your tailnet. It only reads user data. That data powers Vanta’s automated compliance checks, so you can automatically confirm that users have the right level of access and that accounts are deprovisioned when employees leave.
You can connect your tailnet to Vanta in just a few minutes. Read the full setup guide here.
