About Drata

Drata sells software that helps customers earn and keep trust with continuous compliance, integrated internal and third-party risk, and real-time customer assurance. Drata offers the Drata Agentic Trust Management Platform and solutions that fit customer needs. Drata says autonomous AI agents automate compliance, manage internal and third-party risk, and continuously prove security posture. Drata brings controls, risks, policies, and evidence into one system to standardize governance, strengthen accountability, and reduce risk across the enterprise.[3][4][6]

On the compliance side, Drata supports 30+ standard frameworks, and customers can create their own custom frameworks. Drata maps controls once and applies them across standards. Customers connect to over 300 integrated tools, or their own tools via API, to automate evidence collection. Control statuses in the Drata platform are kept updated daily, and customers are notified immediately when drift occurs. Compliance Automation centralizes controls and evidence in one place and automates collection across tools. Drata provides one secure hub where auditor collaboration, evidence requests, and approvals are centralized. Drata can scan code during development to identify control gaps before production.[16][17][18]

For risk, Drata unifies internal and third-party risk in one platform. Internal and vendor risks can be monitored side by side in one system, with scoring, ownership, and remediation tracking. Risk registers are customizable so teams can create custom risks, assign owners, set categories, score by impact and likelihood, determine treatments, and map to controls.[6]

For third-party risk, Drata's agent evaluates every third party against the customer's own standards, and every result comes with the exact evidence behind it. Drata brings vendor inventory, risk tiers, assessments, and evidence together in a single system of record. Vendors can be synced from procurement, CLM, and other systems, and assessment decisions are written back to those same tools. Drata AI can enrich vendor profiles with firmographic and risk data.[10][19]

For assurance, Trust Center gives prospects, customers, auditors, and other stakeholders a secure, self-serve destination to review security posture, request access to documents, and get answers immediately. Trust Center uses structured access requests, approvals, and permissioning. Trust Center includes a trust library with reusable, consistent responses. Drata automatically generates answers to lengthy security questionnaires based on provided information, and subject matter experts approve or edit the response. AI Questionnaire Assistance centralizes how teams manage, track, and collaborate on inbound security questionnaires. Drata provides AI answers to trust questions asked via Slack and Microsoft Teams.[1][7][20][21][22]

Drata also builds AI features into the platform. Drata AI embeds intelligence across compliance, risk, and assurance workflows. Drata discovers every AI agent running in the environment, enforces policies before an action executes, and produces auditor-grade proof of every decision. Drata says it is building AI Governance with select enterprises across financial services, healthcare, and software. Drata logs every decision in a tamper-evident record. Drata connects AI assistants to a Drata workspace via the MCP protocol using OAuth 2.1 with SSO and full audit logging, while enforcing user-level permissions. Drata AI builds automated tests for AWS, Azure, and GCP.[22][23]

Drata collaborates with hundreds of technology partners and audit firms. Enterprise GRC consolidates control requirements, policies, evidence sources, ownership, and workflows into a single system of record. Drata lets customers manage multiple compliance programs across products or business units while maintaining centralized governance.[1][4][5][7][8][9][10][11][16][17][18][19][21]
