## Profile

Overview: Drata is a San Diego-based, privately held security and compliance automation company founded in 2020 by Adam Markowitz, Daniel Marashlian and Troy Markowitz. Its platform automates evidence collection and continuous control monitoring for frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, PCI DSS and NIST. It also provides risk management, third-party risk management, a Trust Center and AI-assisted security questionnaire responses. Drata began by helping startups with SOC 2 and has expanded toward enterprise governance, risk and compliance, now branding the product as an Agentic Trust Management Platform. It acquired Trust Center vendor SafeBase in 2025. The company has raised about $328M in funding and reports serving 8,000+ organizations. It sells three plan tiers (Foundation, Advanced, Enterprise) on a quote basis and integrates with hundreds of cloud, identity, HR and developer tools.
Product summary: Drata is a compliance automation and trust management platform. It connects to a company's cloud, identity, HR, device and developer tools. From these it collects evidence automatically, monitors controls continuously and maps them across 30+ frameworks. Modules cover governance, risk management, third-party risk, audit collaboration (Audit Hub), a Trust Center and AI questionnaire assistance. The Trust Center and AI questionnaire products come from the SafeBase acquisition. An Open API and custom connections let teams extend automation.

- Mid-market and enterprise security organizations
- CISOs and IT risk managers
- Auditors and audit firms



### Key use cases

- Achieving and maintaining SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certification
- Managing multiple compliance frameworks from shared controls
- Reducing audit preparation time through automated evidence collection
- Answering customer security questionnaires with AI assistance
- Publishing a Trust Center to speed up security reviews
- Enterprise risk and vendor (third-party) risk management
- Continuous, always-on audit readiness

Integrations ecosystem: Drata lists hundreds of native integrations. They cover cloud and infrastructure (AWS, Azure), HRIS, SSO, MDM, ticketing, version control, vulnerability scanning, security training and data export. Third-party roundups cite 300+ published integrations. Drata also offers an Open API, Custom Connections and Tests (JSON-based, on Advanced and Enterprise plans) and Compliance as Code. The Trust Center connects to Slack/Teams, Salesforce, HubSpot, Microsoft Dynamics and DocuSign/Ironclad. Drata works with a large auditor network and automation tools such as Tines, Torq and Tray.io. A third-party review cites an Audit Alliance of more than 175 firms.
Pricing summary: Drata does not publish prices and sells on a quote basis. Its plans page lists three tiers. Foundation covers up to 50 employees and 1 pre-mapped framework (limited to SOC 2, ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials, HIPAA and GDPR). Advanced allows any available framework and adds custom connections, tests, fields and formulas. Enterprise adds Risk Management Pro, Compliance as Code Pro, user access reviews and agentic third-party risk assessments. Add-ons include extra frameworks, workspaces and custom frameworks, and admins can now buy extra frameworks in-app by credit card. Third-party sources estimate annual contracts at roughly $7,500 to $100,000+, depending on headcount and scope. These are unofficial estimates.
Review summary: Drata is rated 4.7/5 on G2 from about 1,400 reviews. Reviewers praise ease of use, centralized compliance management, automation, integrations and especially customer support. Criticisms include a UI that can feel overwhelming or clunky during setup, quote-based pricing, total cost and renewal increases, and limited contract flexibility. A minority of reviewers on Gartner, PeerSpot and PissedConsumer report false positives and integration gaps.
Competitive positioning: Drata competes in compliance automation and GRC and is one of the best-known platforms in the category, alongside Vanta, Secureframe and Sprinto. It has moved from SOC 2 automation for startups toward enterprise GRC, which it markets as an "Agentic Trust Management Platform". Its distinguishing points are 30+ pre-built frameworks, a large auditor network and the SafeBase Trust Center and AI questionnaire products it acquired in 2025. On G2 it has a 4.7/5 rating, and reviewers cite customer support as its top strength. Competitors in the same category are often positioned on price or on bundled audit services.
Limitations: Drata does not publish prices, so cost comparison needs a sales conversation. Reviewers on Gartner Peer Insights and Capterra, and in third-party roundups, mention several issues: unexpected total cost of SOC 2 readiness beyond the subscription, renewal price increases, limited flexibility mid-contract, a UI that can feel overwhelming or clunky, and an initial setup that takes longer than expected. Some PeerSpot and PissedConsumer reviewers also report false positives in control status and integration gaps. Some of these complaints come from single reviews, and third-party reports of renewal increases are not verified.
