About Us:
Drata is on a mission to help build trust across the internet.
Drata is a security and compliance automation platform that continuously monitors and collects evidence of a company's security controls, while streamlining compliance workflows end-to-end to ensure audit readiness for SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR and PCI DSS.
We all recognize the importance of earning and keeping the trust of our customers. A clean SOC 2 report proves to our customers that we do the things we say we do when it comes to protecting their data. We all want to provide our customers with that verified proof, but as SaaS veterans ourselves we've felt firsthand how burdensome achieving and maintaining a strong security and compliance posture can be at a fast-growing company.
Our team of SaaS, security, compliance, and audit experts have built a better way - with automation!
