Drata review
A broad compliance platform for teams that need automated evidence, monitoring, and audit workflows.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Drata is a cloud-based compliance and trust management platform for startups, growing companies, and enterprises. It centralizes policies, risks, ownership, evidence, controls, audit workflows, and trust-center functions while supporting frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI DSS. Its web, API, and Chrome extension access suit organizations that want compliance work connected to their existing business, development, identity, and infrastructure tools.
The platform’s main strength is breadth paired with automation. Drata collects evidence, monitors and tests controls continuously, maps shared controls across frameworks, and supports risk registers, treatment workflows, vendor assessments, and recurring reviews. Audit Hub brings auditor collaboration and evidence requests into the same environment, while compliance as code supports infrastructure scanning. Integrations include AWS, 1Password, Webflow, Google Workspace, GitHub, GitLab, Jira, Slack, BambooHR, and Okta, with more than 300 tools supported overall. AI questionnaire assistance can also help with customer and security-review responses.
Drata’s plans separate core compliance automation from assurance capabilities. Compliance Automation Foundation includes one pre-mapped framework, pre-built integrations, Trust Center Standard, risk management, and support for organizations with up to 50 FTEs. Advanced adds any available framework, custom connections and tests, custom fields and formulas, and optional Risk Management Pro and Workspaces. Enterprise adds Compliance as Code Pro, user access review, and additional custom tests. Assurance tiers add branded trust centers, approved domains, knowledge bases, SCIM, open API and webhook access, and progressively broader CRM integrations. Drata fits teams building a multi-framework, automation-heavy program; organizations wanting a simpler, no-cost compliance tool should look elsewhere.
