About Drata

Drata is a compliance automation platform founded in 2020 in San Diego that helps companies achieve and maintain security and privacy certifications such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, PCI DSS and NIST frameworks. Rather than collecting screenshots before each audit, it connects to cloud infrastructure, identity providers, HR systems, code repositories and endpoint agents to test controls continuously and gather evidence automatically.

Beyond control monitoring, Drata includes policy templates with employee acknowledgment, security awareness training, background check tracking, risk management, vendor risk assessments, and an auditor workspace where partner audit firms review evidence directly. Custom frameworks let companies map their own controls, and questionnaire automation answers security reviews from existing evidence. Its trust center capabilities expanded after Drata acquired SafeBase in 2025. Pricing is quote-based and depends on company size, frameworks and modules.

Drata fits B2B SaaS companies selling to enterprises that ask for SOC 2 or ISO 27001, from first audit through multi-framework programs. It still requires an internal owner: the tool automates evidence, not the security work itself, and fixing failing tests takes engineering time. Vanta is the closest competitor and the usual head-to-head evaluation; Secureframe and Sprinto are often cheaper for early-stage companies; Thoropass bundles the audit itself with the software.
