Vanta's policy management is good — but you can't buy it on its own, and the platform it's bundled into starts in five figures a year. If your need right now is documented, versioned, attested policies, Charter delivers exactly that, standalone, with a free tier.
Same job — documented, mapped, attested policies — at a fraction of the commitment.
Vanta bundles policy into the full GRC suite. Charter is the standalone policy product — no platform purchase required.
Vanta's pricing is quote-driven and seat-sensitive. Charter is flat per company, published, with attestation seats included in tier caps.
Vanta has no free policy tier. Charter's free tier generates a full mapped policy set with versioning and basic attestation.
Charter maps clauses to HIPAA, FERPA, CMMC/800-171, SOC 2, ISO 27001, CIS and NIST — leading with the regulated wedges, not just SOC 2.
Read, e-sign, immutable record binding the exact version hash — the proof an auditor wants, without the suite.
Branded PDF, Markdown and a ZIP bundle with a coverage report — no platform lock-in to hand evidence to an auditor.
Confident, not absolutist.
If you need continuous control monitoring, automated evidence collection across dozens of integrations, and an all-in-one audit platform, a full GRC suite like Vanta does more than a focused policy tool. Charter's wedge is the policy layer specifically — done well, priced flat, free to start — and policies that flow as evidence into the rest of the DosanjhLabs suite. Many teams start with Charter for policies and add broader monitoring later.
