What is Drata?
Drata transforms the historically complex and resource-intensive process of Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC). By leveraging an AI-native platform, Drata automates security and compliance tasks across critical frameworks like SOC 2, ISO 27001, and HIPAA. Designed for organizations ranging from hyper-growth startups to global enterprises, Drata empowers you to manage risk proactively, accelerate security reviews, and ensure continuous trust, allowing your business to scale faster and more securely.
Key Features
Drata focuses on unifying GRC, risk management, and assurance into a single, automated workflow, replacing manual audits and reactive processes with real-time trust.
🛡️ Continuous Compliance & Monitoring
Automate control monitoring, evidence collection, and mapping across more than 20 regulatory frameworks without multiplying your workload. This adaptive automation allows you to create custom tests unique to your organization, ensuring comprehensive coverage and reducing the time spent preparing for an audit by up to 90%. You achieve multi-framework readiness faster, enabling quicker entry into regulated markets.
🧠 Integrated Risk Management
Gain complete, centralized visibility into vendor, internal, and external risks. Drata’s AI-driven workflows utilize a pre-loaded library of 150+ risks (based on standards like NIST SP 800-30) to centralize tracking, accelerate your response to emerging threats, and effectively reduce overall exposure. The platform simplifies end-to-end risk assessments and treatment workflows.
🚀 AI-Powered Assurance & Accelerated Sales Cycles
Transform security reviews from a bottleneck into a business accelerator. Utilizing AI Questionnaire Assistance (AIQA), Drata provides fast, accurate responses to security questionnaires by drawing from your Trust Center content and knowledge base. This capability has been shown to deliver a 12X reduction in questionnaire response time and accelerates sales cycles by improving trust signals.
🧑💻 Compliance as Code
Proactively enforce controls and quickly address compliance and security gaps directly within the software development lifecycle. Drata enables developers to automatically identify and fix compliance issues as they build, ensuring continuous compliance from code to production. This integration automates approximately 89% of the compliance workload within the development process.
Use Cases
Drata transforms GRC from a defensive necessity into a proactive business driver by providing clear, actionable pathways for security and compliance.
1. Transforming Trust into a Business Accelerator
Instead of spending weeks manually compiling documentation to satisfy prospective clients' security requirements, you can leverage the Trust Center to publish and share real-time compliance posture and documentation instantly. This transparency and immediate availability of verified security proof expedites security reviews, helping you close deals faster and accelerate revenue.
2. Simplifying Complex Vendor Risk Management (VRM)
Managing third-party risk often involves time-consuming manual reviews of documents like SOC 2 reports. Drata automates this process using the AI Agent for VRM. This agent works alongside your team to auto-collect vendor assurance data, apply your specific organizational standards to verified evidence, and generate AI summaries of complex vendor SOC 2 reports, saving teams significant time (up to 50% reduction in VRM effort).
3. Achieving Frictionless Audit Readiness
Eliminate the perennial scramble before an audit. With continuous monitoring and automated evidence collection, you are perpetually ready. The Audit Hub centralizes all auditor communications, documentation, and evidence requests in one streamlined location. This single source of truth ensures a smooth, efficient audit process, saving organizations up to 90% of the time typically spent on preparation.
