In July 2024, Vanta and AssuranceLab rekindled their partnership, sparking a wave of collaboration that reshaped the compliance landscape across the Asia-Pacific region and beyond. Stevie’s visit to Australia in June highlighted the great synergies between our teams, setting the stage for extraordinary growth. In the months that followed, we’ve proven that together, we deliver unmatched value for our clients globally.
Expanding across nine countries
In just five months, our partnership scaled to over 80 new mutual clients across 9 countries: Japan, Thailand, Hong Kong, Canada, the US, Germany, Australia, Israel and New Zealand. This rapid expansion highlights the seamless fit between Vanta’s platform and AssuranceLab’s tech-enabled audit services.
Japan stood out as a highlight, where we quickly onboarded 3 new clients in two months; following it being cited as a strategic priority to Vanta. With a Japanese-speaking auditor on our team, we tailored our approach to meet local needs, setting the foundation for long-term success.
Our collaboration also expanded into EMEA, with early joint wins in Germany and Israel, supported by AssuranceLab’s growing presence in Europe, now with a team of seven across Ireland, Germany and France. This success sets the stage for scaling our impact across promising growth markets like the UK, Ireland, Germany, France and Israel.
Innovation: AI-powered audits with Lexi
This year, we launched an integration between AssuranceLab’s AI-powered audit tool, Lexi, and the Vanta platform. This enables audits to be completed in under 24 hours, with results seamlessly synced into Vanta’s evidence view for clients.
Our engineering teams worked closely to refine the functionality, delivering real-time value by processing client documents, running AI-powered models, and pushing results back to Vanta. This innovation has redefined compliance by providing clients with faster and more efficient audit solutions.
From 8th to 1st in partner rankings
When our partnership resumed, AssuranceLab ranked 8th (of 8) among Vanta’s strategic audit partners. By October, we climbed to:
Additionally, we closed 10 resale opportunities since August, becoming Vanta’s only CPA partner combining licenses with audit services. This innovative model simplifies sales for Vanta reps and creates stickier client relationships by bundling services while AssuranceLab assumes credit risk.

We also strengthened our presence through events like Intersekt in Melbourne, the Startup Daily Awards in Sydney, a webinar with Go1, and a joint press release to industry publications, showcasing how our partnership helps clients scale globally.
Looking ahead to 2025
The foundation laid in 2024 sets the stage for exciting opportunities in 2025:
