Governance, Risk & Compliance
Drata Compliance Automation Platform
Agentic trust management platform automating compliance, risk, TPRM, and trust center operations.
Drata Compliance Automation Platform Overview
What it does
Drata Compliance Automation Platform is an Integrated Risk Management (IRM) and trust management platform that unifies multi-framework compliance, internal risk, third-party risk, and customer assurance in one workspace. The platform's core differentiator is continuous automated control testing: integrations with cloud providers, identity platforms, endpoint tools, and other security systems collect evidence and monitor control status without manual audit prep cycles.
How it works
The platform spans five modules: Enterprise GRC for cross-framework governance, Compliance Automation for evidence collection and control monitoring, a customer-facing Trust Center, Security Questionnaire Automation that drafts responses from approved trust content, and Agentic Third-Party Risk Management for vendor assessments and follow-ups. Cross-framework control mapping lets teams define controls once and apply them across standards including SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, PCI DSS, and NIST families. More than 300 integrations connect Drata to production environments so compliance scoring, policy workflows, access reviews, and auditor collaboration reflect live system state rather than point-in-time exports.
Credentials and traction
Drata holds SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certifications, and in December 2025 achieved ISO 42001 certification for AI management systems, alongside GDPR compliance. Gartner named Drata a Representative Vendor in the 2024 Market Guide for DevOps Continuous Compliance Automation Tools, its second consecutive year of recognition in that category. The platform is used by more than 8,500 organizations, including Fortinet, GitLab, and EAB.
