Zania
Zania is an AI-native GRC platform for continuous compliance and third-party risk. Its agents collect evidence, test control design and operating effectiveness, and route remediation for human review, reusing mapped controls across frameworks.
Best for: Enterprise GRC teams using AI-assisted evidence testing across several frameworksWatch for: Not suited to small first-time buyers needing self-serve onboarding, public pricing, or a CPA marketplace

What does Zania do?
Zania was founded in 2023. Zania is led by Shruti Gupta. Zania is headquartered in Palo Alto, California, United States.
Evidence collection
Available · Zania says agents continuously gather, refresh, and map evidence from connected systems and can use browser automation with human oversight where native integrations do not exist.
Security questionnaires
Available · Zania documents an inbound workflow that generates draft responses from previous answers and internal documentation, maps supporting evidence, flags stale material, and leaves final approval with the security team.
Enterprise administration
Partial · Zania documents SSO through SAML for Okta, Azure AD, and Google plus granular RBAC.
Scope and limits
Zania documents SSO through SAML for Okta, Azure AD, and Google plus granular RBAC. SCIM and multi-entity administration remain unestablished, so the roll-up is partial.
Continuous control testing
Available · The SOC 2 product page describes continuous SOC 2 Type II compliance, recurring evidence refresh, and testing of control design and operating effectiveness; it does not publish a test interval.
Multi-framework support
Partial · Zania says teams map controls once and reuse them across SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, PCI DSS, and ISO 42001.
Scope and limits
Zania says teams map controls once and reuse them across SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, PCI DSS, and ISO 42001. That establishes cross-framework mapping rather than separate native control sets.
Funding history
Founded in 2023 by Shruti Gupta. SecurityWeek reported an $18 million Series A led by NEA in September 2025.
How much does Zania cost?
Zania does not publish prices. Your price depends on plan scope, headcount, services, and contract term.

Who does what in a SOC 2 with Zania?
Zania
Organizes the listed control, evidence, and audit workflows.
Your team
Owns policies, control decisions, exceptions, and approval of shared evidence.
The CPA firm
Sets audit scope, tests controls independently, and issues the SOC 2 report.
Software does not issue the SOC 2 report; a licensed CPA firm does. No public material found indicates that Zania issues SOC 2 reports. Its Enterprise plan includes reviewer seats and audit-ready reporting, but no SOC 2 auditor marketplace or CPA network is publicly documented. Zania's Grant Thornton Advisory case study describes the platform being used for evidence analysis and controls testing in Nevada Gaming MICS engagements; that use does not establish Zania as the independent SOC 2 examiner.
