Drata is on a mission to serve as the trust layer between great companies.

Drata is a trust management platform that uses AI-driven automation to modernize governance, risk, and compliance, helping thousands of businesses develop a more secure, proactive, and risk-aware organization to continuously maintain trust with customers.

We all recognize the importance of earning and keeping the trust of our customers when it comes to protecting their data. We know how burdensome achieving and maintaining a strong GRC posture can be with the rise in compliance regulations. It's a manual, redundant, error-prone, and unscalable process - and it only grows more complex and expensive over time.

Our team of SaaS, security, compliance, and audit experts have built a better way - with automation.
