It covers compliance framework management including SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, DORA, FedRAMP, and CMMC, with enterprise risk assessment capabilities and continuous control monitoring. The platform automatically collects evidence from across your technology stack and tracks controls against compliance requirements, aiming to keep organisations audit-ready continuously rather than scrambling before audits. It includes third-party risk management capabilities with risk scoring for vendor assessment, client-facing reporting through a branded Trust Center portal, and AI-powered questionnaire response drafting to reduce time spent drafting vendor questionnaires manually. Drata suits any size organisation required to maintain specific compliance frameworks who want to reduce the manual work of tracking evidence and controls across multiple tools without requiring extensive setup or implementation. It is not designed for MSPs or as a vulnerability scanner, though it includes risk scoring and compliance risk management that organisations use to track and respond to compliance-related risks. The platform integrates with hundreds of tools across cloud infrastructure such as AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud; identity and access management platforms including Okta and Auth0; HRIS systems such as ADP and BambooHR; and ticketing tools like Jira and Asana, but does not include integrations with traditional PSA systems or network vulnerability scanners. Drata is cloud-only with web-based access and no on-premises option available. Pricing is not published and is available only through sales contact. There is no self-serve trial, only demos by request. The company is based in San Francisco and was founded in 2020 by founders with experience in systems requiring extensive documentation and verification. ## Our take Drata is positioned as a compliance automation tool, not a vulnerability scanner. It suits organisations required to maintain compliance with specific frameworks who want to automate evidence gathering and control monitoring rather than manually track compliance through spreadsheets or separate tools. If you are seeking vulnerability scanning, patch detection, or network risk assessment, look at competitors such as Qualys VMDR, Rapid7 InsightVM, or Tenable. Check whether your specific compliance frameworks are supported and whether your existing infrastructure, identity, and ticketing tools are on Drata's integration list before committing. ## Pricing Drata does not publish a list price. ## Features | Feature | Supported | Note | | --- | --- | --- | | Network vulnerability scanning | no | Drata does not perform network vulnerability scanning; it focuses on compliance automation and evidence collection | | Authenticated scanning | no | Not a scanning tool; integrates with scanning platforms but does not perform scans | | Missing patch detection | no | Does not detect missing patches; compliance-focused rather than asset scanning | | Compliance framework mapping | yes | Core feature mapping controls to compliance frameworks including SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS | | Risk scoring | yes | Third-party and enterprise risk scoring included in platform capabilities | | Dark web monitoring | no | Not mentioned in documented features | | External attack surface scanning | no | Not a core feature; attack surface scanning not provided | | PSA integration for remediation tickets | no | Integrates with general ticketing platforms like Asana and Jira, but not PSA systems | | Scheduled recurring scans | no | Platform performs continuous control monitoring rather than scheduled vulnerability scans | | Client-facing reports | yes | Trust Center provides client-facing security and compliance reports | | Multi-tenant console | yes | Platform supports multi-tenant enterprise deployments | | Automated evidence collection | yes | Automated evidence collection and control monitoring is a core feature across compliance frameworks | ## Integrations - AWS, https://drata.com/integrations - Microsoft Azure, https://drata.com/integrations - Google Cloud, https://drata.com/integrations - Okta, https://drata.com/integrations - GitHub, https://drata.com/integrations - Jira, https://drata.com/integrations - Slack, https://drata.com/integrations - Salesforce, https://drata.com/integrations Listed products that integrate with Drata: Hexnode UEM. ## Alternatives - Vanta: Automates evidence collection and compliance monitoring for SOC 2 and 35+ frameworks. https://mspsoftware.net/software/vanta - Apptega: Compliance automation for MSSPs and MSPs across 30+ frameworks, with risk scoring and evidence collection. https://mspsoftware.net/software/apptega - CyberStrong: Cyber risk quantification through compliance monitoring and continuous AI assessment. https://mspsoftware.net/software/cybersaint - Network Detective Pro: Network vulnerability scanning and assessment for MSPs and IT departments. https://mspsoftware.net/software/network-detective-pro ## FAQ ### How much does Drata cost?
