Drata AI

Drata is a security and compliance automation platform that competes directly with Vanta for the growing market of companies needing to achieve and maintain security certifications. The platform uses AI and automation to reduce the time, cost, and effort of compliance programs through continuous monitoring and automated evidence collection.

Drata's agent-based monitoring deploys integrations across the company's technical infrastructure to continuously verify that security controls are in place and functioning correctly. This real-time monitoring provides ongoing assurance rather than point-in-time snapshots, giving security teams current visibility into compliance status.

The platform's AI-powered evidence collection automatically gathers, organizes, and links evidence to the specific controls it demonstrates, reducing the manual work required to prepare audit evidence packages. This organization helps auditors quickly find the evidence they need, accelerating the audit process.

Drata's risk management capabilities use AI to identify, assess, and prioritize security risks across the organization's systems and processes. The risk quantification helps security teams communicate risk exposure to executive leadership in business terms and make data-driven decisions about risk remediation priorities.

For companies managing multiple compliance frameworks simultaneously — a common situation for enterprise software companies that need SOC 2, ISO 27001, and GDPR compliance — Drata's multi-framework support with shared evidence reduces the duplication of effort that managing separate compliance programs would require.
