Drata is a trust management and GRC software provider focused on helping organizations automate how they establish, monitor, and share trust. Its platform combines continuous compliance automation, enterprise GRC, internal and third-party risk workflows, and customer-facing assurance capabilities so teams can stay audit-ready while demonstrating security posture in real time. Drata is built for organizations that need more than point-in-time audit prep: it supports ongoing evidence collection, continuous control monitoring, policy and control management, and structured collaboration across security, GRC, audit, and go-to-market stakeholders. By pairing automation with embedded AI, Drata aims to reduce repetitive manual work, improve consistency in reviews and documentation, and turn trust programs into an operational function that supports both risk reduction and revenue enablement.
Offerings, Capabilities, and Integrations
Drata’s platform is organized around continuous compliance, governance, assurance, and risk management. It centralizes controls, evidence, policies, ownership, and workflows in one system of record, while AI-driven capabilities help summarize vendor materials, answer questionnaires, explain test failures, suggest mappings, and speed remediation. The platform connects with hundreds of tools across cloud infrastructure, identity, HRIS, ticketing, version control, vulnerability management, CRM, collaboration, and storage systems, giving teams broader coverage without replacing their existing stack. Drata also offers configurable workflows, workspaces, dashboards, APIs, and document-sharing controls to support both daily operations and enterprise-scale programs.
