Based on the information available, Vanta uses Clay to track SOC2 certification announcements through several methods:
1. They monitor website updates related to compliance, which would include SOC2 certifications.
2. Clay's AI agent scans company websites for specific indicators of security and compliance readiness, including SOC2 badges.
3. They use Clay's News & Fundraising Signals feature to track key announcements from companies, which would include compliance certifications like SOC2.
4. When Clay detects relevant signals (like a SOC2 certification), it automatically identifies the accounts and creates a corresponding signal in Salesforce, enriches it with additional details, and routes it to the appropriate sales rep.
