Drata Features

Multi Framework Support

Centralize framework requirements in one system to support multiple frameworks at once. With Drata, shared controls, automated tests, and continuously collected evidence enable consistent compliance management. You maintain flexibility for framework-specific requirements while standardizing how compliance is run across the organization.

See How It Works
Control & Evidence Management

Manage controls, ownership, and the evidence auditors expect to see within a single system. Assign control owners, map controls across multiple frameworks, and maintain audit-ready evidence within the Drata platform so reviews move forward without constant follow-ups or manual coordination.

See How It Works
Continuous Monitoring & Tests

Drata continuously runs tests across your connected systems to monitor whether controls operate as expected. Tests map directly to in-scope controls, so results reflect real control performance, not one-time checks. As environments change, Drata re-runs tests on a recurring basis and records pass or fail outcomes over time. Teams can see where controls remain stable, where drift begins, and when failures emerge between audits and reviews.

See How It Works
Custom Tests & Connections

Broaden monitoring beyond native integrations bringing data from homegrown, on-prem, or unsupported platforms into Drata. External systems can submit structured evidence through custom connections so monitoring reflects your full environment. Teams define custom test logic and map results directly to controls in scope. Tests run on a recurring basis and surface outcomes alongside native checks, allowing enterprises to monitor critical controls consistently across all systems.

Third Party Risk Management

Ensure confidence in your vendors with consistent, evidence-based evaluations in one platform. By replacing fragmented, questionnaire-heavy reviews with criteria-based, evidence-driven vendor risk decisions, Drata helps teams elevate assessments standards, surface risk gaps, streamline reviews, and support defensible, human-governed risk decisions with full traceability.

See How It Works
Internal Risk Management

Drata helps businesses manage risk assessments and workflows in one platform. It offers a library of over 150 pre-mapped, threat-based risks and continuously monitors for new and evolving risks. Moreover, the platform automatically generates risk scores and treatment plans, with options to customize risk scoring and track progress easily.

See How It Works
Audit Hub

The software enables seamless collaboration between teams and auditors to speed up the audit process and minimize errors. It automates tasks like evidence requests, sample data selection, and action item tagging, reducing manual effort and saving time. This feature provides clear visibility of required evidence and next steps.

See How It Works
Automated User Access Reviews

The platform enables businesses to schedule periodic access reviews and delegate tasks to application owners. It tracks user permissions, multi-factor authentication (MFA) status, and access changes across all applications. The platform also maps access review evidence to compliance controls and continuously monitors for any changes, ensuring security and compliance.

See How It Works
Trust Center

Give prospects, customers, auditors, and other stakeholders a secure, self-serve destination to review your security posture, request access to documents, and get answers immediately. Trust Center standardizes how key security information and compliance reports are published, requested, approved, and accessed so organizations can accelerate reviews while maintaining governance, consistency, and control.

See How It Works
AI Questionnaire Assistance (AIQA)

Drata features an AI-powered platform that helps teams quickly respond to security questionnaires by automatically extracting and formatting questions. It uses Drata’s data to generate accurate answers and allows users to customize the sources it pulls from. With continuous learning and human review, AIQA ensures responses are accurate, up-to-date, and compliant.

Really simplifies ISO27001 & SOC2 audits and compliance

Pros

The Drata platform makes it a lot easier to check your systems and ensure you're following best practices for ISO and SOC2 compliance/audit. The workstation monitoring agent is simple to deploy and non intrusive. Policy management is greatly simplified, allowing you to map to controls and manage the lifecycle. It doesn't do everything for you but it brings all the relevant information together for a more holistic view of your current security posture. It's an essential tool for any GRC or security professional. Also their onboarding process is fantastic. Our account manager was there every step of the way with helpful advice, chasing down answers to tricky questions and checking in to make sure we were set up for success.

Cons

The UI can be a little tricky to navigate at times but considering it's bringing together so many disparate services, its understandable. It's not a major issue and once you get the hang of it, these "issues" fade into the background compared to how helpful the platform is overall.

Making compliance easy and straightforward

Pros

Tracking compliance has never been easier with Drata. The automated workflows,along with integrations with tools like Google Workspace, AWS and Slack, eliminate much of the manual effort. The dashboard is clean, adaptable and easy to navigate, allowing me to stay on top of tasks and audits effortlessly. It keeps everything organized in one place making it simple to manage compliance and ensure nothing is overlooked.

Cons

Some of the integrations need a bit of fine tuning during the initial setup and there can occasionally be sync delays. It would also be great if a mobile app were available for easier access on the go.

Drata helps bring order to compliance in a chaotic business

Pros

As someone who used to handle compliance manually, I love how Drata uses our vendors and systems to automate much of the data collection and organization of evidence. The support is always available for questions and the dashboard and onboarding steps make implementation simple. They walk you through the steps with questions and once you select your auditor, they know Drata well and can help tie up any loose ends before starting an audit.

Cons

There's no downside in my experience. They have integrations with all of our cloud, development and IDP systems.
