About Drata

Drata is a security and compliance automation platform that helps companies achieve SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and other certifications through continuous monitoring and automated evidence collection. Founded in 2020, Drata serves startups and growing companies that need to prove their security posture to customers and partners.

Drata is designed for technology companies and SaaS businesses pursuing compliance certifications, particularly those needing to demonstrate security controls to enterprise customers during sales cycles. Their platform automates compliance monitoring to reduce the manual work and time required for certification.

Service Offerings

Drata's core services include:

• Compliance Automation: Automated monitoring for SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, and other frameworks.

Key strengths include:

• Support for multiple compliance frameworks in one platform
• Continuous monitoring reducing annual audit preparation burden
• Automated evidence collection from infrastructure and SaaS tools
