DRATA – Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) Automation Platform

Who is DRATA?

Drata is a leading Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) Automation Platform that continuously monitors and collects evidence of a company’s security controls, while streamlining governance, risk, and compliance workflows end-to-end to ensure audit readiness to dramatically reduce manual effort and audit time while strengthening organizations’ security posture and driving trust with stakeholders. Drata’s team of SaaS, security, compliance, and audit experts use automation to streamline the path to achieving and continuously maintaining compliance.

Drata’s rigorous integrations, real‑time evidence collection, and pre‑mapped frameworks enable companies to achieve and maintain compliance with frameworks such as PCI-DSS, SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, and HIPAA more efficiently and reliably than by using manual processes.

Backed by significant funding and recognized as a G2 Leader, Drata’s importance lies in its ability to automate complex workflows, ensure audit readiness, and scale with businesses as they grow by leveraging the following Drata platform features and benefits:

Automation and Continuous Monitoring

Drata continuously monitors and collects evidence across a company’s security controls—such as configurations, user access, and software versions—eliminating up to 85% of manual evidence gathering by integrating with cloud services, HR systems, and developer tools. This always‑on approach helps organizations detect deviations instantly and remediate issues before they impact audit outcomes or security, maintaining a robust control environment around the clock.

Accelerated Audit Readiness and Efficiency

By automating workflows and providing a centralized dashboard of compliance status, Drata cuts the time to audit readiness from months to weeks or even days. Its real‑time reporting and collaboration tools—now enhanced through integrations such as the recent Fieldguide partnership—simplify evidence reviews and stakeholder coordination during audits.

Customers report significant reductions in manual tasks, freeing security and compliance teams to focus on strategic risk management rather than administrative overhead.

Enhanced Security Posture and Risk Management

Beyond compliance checkboxes, Drata enforces security best practices through continuous control validation, automated risk assessments, and alerting workflows.

Organizations leverage Drata to ensure encryption standards, MFA enforcement, and vulnerability remediations are consistently applied—and verified—across their infrastructure, reducing the window of exposure and aligning with industry benchmarks.

Market Validation and Customer Trust

Drata’s importance is underscored by its rapid growth and market recognition: a $200 million Series C funding round at a $2 billion valuation validates investor confidence in its value proposition.

Drata has been named a Leader in G2’s Fall 2024 and Summer 2024 reports, reflecting high customer satisfaction and widespread adoption among over 4,000 companies worldwide.

The acquisition of SafeBase for $250 million further expands Drata’s offerings in vendor security and customer-facing review automation.

Broad Framework Support and Integration

With support for 20+ pre‑mapped frameworks—including SOC 2, ISO 27001/27017/27701, PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, CMMC, and all major NIST guidelines—Drata provides out‑of‑the‑box mappings and controls that align with auditors’ expectations.

Hundreds of integrations with tools like Jira, Datadog, AWS, and Azure consolidate evidence collection in one platform, reducing API sprawl and improving data reliability.

Scalability and Competitive Advantage

Drata scales with organizations from startups to enterprises, adapting compliance workflows to various maturities and regulatory environments. Its “adaptive automation” capabilities enable teams to configure controls to their unique risk profiles, helping businesses move from ad hoc to “adaptive” maturity levels without extensive custom development.

By shortening the compliance lifecycle and lowering the cost of audits, Drata delivers a clear ROI that strengthens competitive positioning in both regulated and evolving markets.

In today’s complex regulatory landscape, Drata’s importance stems from its ability to automate the full compliance journey—from continuous monitoring and evidence collection to audit collaboration and reporting—while maintaining rigorous security standards. Its proven impact on reducing manual labor, accelerating audits, and bolstering security posture makes Drata an essential tool for organizations seeking to manage risk effectively and demonstrate compliance with confidence.

By supporting a broad spectrum of security, privacy, industry, and regulatory frameworks—alongside flexible custom mapping—Drata enables organizations to achieve continuous compliance and audit readiness across their entire tech stack.
