That is definitely the best news in a long time. Yeah, Dick Kostelow has a good tweet. Roll tied.

Roll Tide. Welcome to episode 51 of acquired the podcast about technology acquisitions and

IPOs. I'm Ben Gilbert. I'm David Rosenthal and we are your hosts. We are coming to you from mid-December in a second annual

compliance process in place and we can't integrate this new thing. But now even if you

already have a sock to Vanta makes maintaining your compliance even more efficient and robust.
