# How to integrate Vanta with Hexnode UEM?

Vanta is an industry leading automated compliance and security platform. It provides SaaS businesses with insights into potential risks and simplifies their audit process. Vanta monitors devices in real-time and alerts admins of any anomalies. It also gives them a detailed insight into risks that could emerge concerning their employees, assets and vendors. Vanta simplifies the compliance audit process, allowing auditors to initiate new audits, collect necessary information, reference previous audit reports, upload related documents, and complete the entire audit process within the Vanta portal.

Vanta’s integration with Hexnode UEM enables organizations to evaluate the compliance status of the devices enrolled in Hexnode UEM directly from the Vanta console. This integration synchronizes device information with Vanta to identify potential risks. Reports generated by Vanta offer IT admins the information they require to take necessary actions from the Hexnode UEM portal to enhance security and meet compliance criteria. For instance, if the hard drives of a device aren’t encrypted or if the device does not have an antivirus application installed, these reports can indicate them. To further address these issues, admins can enforce the *FileVault* policy and deploy anti-virus applications through the *Mandatory Apps* policy. The integration also simplifies the audit process, facilitating auditors in verifying device compliance from the Vanta portal.

 Note: 
Vanta integration is available only for macOS devices.
