## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-21 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's what I'd actually recommend. "Remote teams" changes the calculus in two specific ways: you have no corporate network, so laptop compliance has to be agent-based, and your people are often spread across jurisdictions, so employment compliance is a separate problem from security compliance. Both below.
> 
> ## Security compliance (SOC 2 / ISO 27001) - the main category
> 
> **1. Vanta** - my default recommendation for most remote teams. Its endpoint agent is the reason: it runs on macOS/Windows/Linux laptops wherever they sit and reports disk encryption, screen lock, OS version, and antivirus straight into your evidence set, which is exactly the control family auditors poke at when you have no offices. Broad integration coverage and cross-mapping across 35+ frameworks means SOC 2 evidence carries over to ISO 27001 later. Roughly $10k/yr entry, commonly $10k-$35k.

> 
> **2. Drata** - pick this over Vanta if your stack is unusual or sprawling. 250+
