Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of Vanta and Duolingo, not ours.

> Duolingo did not need to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars with a professional services partner or have to hire additional employees to achieve its compliance goals. Additionally, Mandy saves 12 hours per week of her own time, which gives her substantial time to focus on other essential tasks.

> As a rapidly growing security program, Vanta has saved me personally up to 12 hours per week, which lets me put that time towards developing other high priority security objectives that are mission critical for us as a business.
