| 0:00.0 | Let's talk about something that might be keeping you up at night. Cybersecurity. According to Vantar's latest state of trust report, it's the number one concern for UK businesses. That's where Vanta comes in. Whether you're a startup, growing fast or already established, Vanta can help you get ISO-2701 certified and more without the headaches. |
| 0:22.5 | And Vanta allows your company to centralise security workflows, |

| 0:28.5 | and proactively manage vendor risk to help your team not only get compliant, but stay compliant. |
| 0:34.3 | Stop stressing over cyber security and start focusing on growing your business. For a |
| 0:39.5 | limited time, our audience gets $1,000 off Vanta at vanta.com slash go. That's va.com |
| 0:47.1 | slash go for $1,000 off. Because when it comes to your business, it's not just about keeping the lights on. |
| 0:53.7 | It's about keeping |
