Ideal Customer
- Drata explicitly markets to startups, mid-market, and enterprise companies, with a dedicated 'Drata for Startups' tier covering companies up to 50 employees and separate tiers for commercial/mid-market and enterprise.
- The most common customer profile by independent analysis is software development companies with 51–200 employees building B2B SaaS platforms that handle sensitive data and face enterprise sales pressure requiring SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certification.
Key Differentiators
- Drata positions itself as the most advanced 'Agentic Trust Management Platform,' differentiating through continuous automated control monitoring (not just point-in-time audits), agentic AI that autonomously handles evidence collection, questionnaire responses, and vendor risk workflows, and a multi-framework architecture that lets teams map controls once and reuse them across 30+ frameworks.
- Its 2024–2025 acquisitions of oak9 (Compliance as Code), Harmonize (User Access Reviews), and SafeBase ($250M Trust Center/questionnaire automation) make it the only GRC platform that monitors compliance both before and after code is deployed, a claimed unique market position.
Industries Served
- Drata serves a broad range of industries including technology/SaaS, healthcare, financial services, insurance, government, retail, education, and manufacturing.
- The platform supports healthcare-specific frameworks such as HIPAA and HITRUST, financial services regulatory requirements, and government frameworks including FedRAMP and CMMC.
Service Coverage
- Drata is headquartered in San Diego, California and operates globally, serving customers across more than 60 countries.
- The company has expanded internationally with 100% year-over-year growth in EMEA and recently opened a new office in Sydney, Australia to support its APAC expansion.

- Drata has a formal 'Launch' Alliance Program encompassing Technology Partners, Channel Partners, an Audit Alliance, and a Startups Program, with over 1,300 partners globally.

Company Size & Ownership
- Drata was founded in 2020 by Adam Markowitz, Daniel Marashlian, and Troy Markowitz, and has approximately 700–730 employees as of 2025–2026.
- The company reached $100 million in ARR by February 2025, up from $59 million in 2023, representing roughly 61% year-over-year growth.
Compliance & Certifications
- Drata supports over 30 compliance frameworks including SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS, GDPR, FedRAMP, CMMC, NIST 800-53, NIST 800-171, CCPA, DORA, and NIS2.
- Notably, as of late 2025, Drata itself holds a FedRAMP 20x Low Pilot Authorization, meaning federal agencies and contractors can use the platform without inheriting a compliance gap from their tooling.

Offerings
9 offeringsAI Questionnaire Assistance
Drata's AI Questionnaire Assistance uses AI to automate responses to inbound security and compliance questionnaires by drafting accurate, consistent answers based on an organization's approved trust content. This reduces the repetitive manual effort involved in responding to vendor security reviews and accelerates sales cycles. It draws on live data from the Trust Center and the organization's compliance program to generate responses in minutes.
Audit Hub
Drata's Audit Hub centralizes audit management by providing advanced tools and workflows to streamline the preparation for and execution of compliance audits. It allows teams to manage end-to-end audit processes, share evidence with auditors in an auditor-friendly format, and reduce time spent on manual audit preparation. The hub integrates with Drata's continuous monitoring and evidence collection capabilities to keep organizations audit-ready at all times.
Compliance as Code
Drata's Compliance as Code capability allows organizations to embed compliance requirements directly into their software development workflows and CI/CD pipelines, enabling continuous compliance from code to cloud. Originating partly from Drata's acquisition of oak9, this feature helps development and security teams ensure code-level controls are continuously monitored against compliance standards. It provides an open API so engineers can integrate compliance checks into existing toolchains with reduced friction.
Compliance Automation
Drata's Compliance Automation product continuously monitors security controls and automates evidence collection across more than 20 frameworks including SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, and PCI DSS. It integrates with over 300 SaaS, cloud, and productivity tools so teams can map shared controls once and reuse them across frameworks, reducing duplicate work and maintaining audit readiness in real time. Continuous automated monitoring alerts customers when controls are not operating effectively so issues can be remediated quickly.
Drata for Startups
Drata for Startups is a tailored offering that helps early-stage companies establish a scalable foundation for compliance, covering frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and GDPR. It automates the manual compliance processes and provides real-time visibility into security postures through automated control monitoring and centralized dashboards. The foundation plan supports companies up to 50 full-time employees with one pre-mapped compliance framework included.
Enterprise GRC (Modern GRC)
Drata's Enterprise GRC module unifies governance, risk, and compliance management in a single platform, providing a unified control framework, enterprise risk management, vulnerability SLA management, user access review automation, and policy management.

The platform supports both public- and private-sector enterprise needs and is FedRAMP Certified.
Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM)
Drata's Third-Party Risk Management product enables organizations to assess, monitor, and mitigate risks associated with third-party vendors at scale using agentic AI capabilities. It supports continuous vendor risk monitoring and automates vendor assessment workflows and follow-ups, reducing the manual burden on security and procurement teams. The product is part of Drata's broader agentic trust management platform and integrates with the rest of the GRC program.
Trust Center
Drata's Trust Center gives organizations a branded, customer-facing self-serve portal where prospects and customers can review the organization's security posture, request access to compliance documents, and receive answers to common security questions. It provides both public and private portal options, enabling organizations to control access to trust content and accelerate sales cycles by enabling prospects to self-serve trust reviews. The Trust Center is part of Drata's Security Assurance product line.
User Access Reviews
Drata's User Access Reviews tool automates the process of reviewing and managing user access rights across an organization to ensure ongoing compliance and security.
