Drata
View Company ProfileDrata is the premier, AI-native compliance automation, continuous risk management, and security governance powerhouse engineered to operate as the definitive trust infrastructure layer for modern global enterprises. Operating as a mission-critical automation engine that scaled from launch to over $100M ARR in record time, the company eliminates the severe systemic friction of traditional point-in-time compliance auditing—where security teams struggle with manual spreadsheet tracking, annual screenshot collections, and opaque third-party risk assessments—by deploying an agentic trust management platform. Moving far beyond static compliance frameworks, Drata unifies real-time control tracking, enterprise GRC architectures, automated vendor risk management, and dynamic user access reviews into a single high-performance workspace. The platform empowers over 8,500 global customers, including major innovators and Fortune 100 leaders, to cross-map controls across dozens of frameworks like SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA, and FedRAMP with elite, scalable, and audit-ready precision. Under the hood, its sophisticated cloud-native architecture—supercharged by generative AI agents, direct integrations with hundreds of infrastructure tools, and deep capabilities from its strategic acquisition of SafeBase—natively orchestrates automated evidence collection pipelines, intelligent questionnaire responses, and live Trust Center analytics. What sets Drata apart is its uncompromising dedication to replacing periodic compliance checks with continuous, verifiable security posture monitoring; by bridging the gap between highly technical, performance-intensive data telemetry and clear enterprise-grade risk visibility, the platform enables modern scaling companies to eliminate up to 75% of audit durations, accelerate sales cycles, and build an unassailable foundation for continuous commercial trust worldwide.
