Drata

Drata is an AI-powered security and compliance automation platform built to deliver continuous monitoring and automated evidence collection for audit readiness. Think of it as a mix between traditional compliance tools and modern automation, but better.

It uses artificial intelligence and integrates with over 200 applications to provide real-time monitoring based on current security controls. The main difference from manual compliance processes is simple: instead of collecting evidence manually, Drata automatically gathers proof from your connected systems and tells you exactly what needs attention.

Each monitoring result includes detailed evidence linking to original sources, allowing you to easily verify information or explore further. Founded in 2020, this tool has become popular because it saves time and makes compliance management easier. You can manage multiple frameworks simultaneously, just like talking to a compliance expert, and get smart, helpful guidance backed by real automated monitoring.

Using Drata is simple and straightforward. First, visit Drata's website and request a demo or start the onboarding process. The interface looks like a modern dashboard where you can see all your compliance activities. Drata works best when you connect your existing tools and systems to enable automatic monitoring.

Here's how to get the best results:

• Connect your cloud services, HR systems, and security tools for automatic evidence collection

• Set up compliance frameworks like SOC 2, ISO 27001, or HIPAA based on your needs

• Review automated control monitoring and evidence in real-time dashboards

• Use Trust Center features to share your security posture with customers

• Collaborate with auditors directly through the Audit Hub

• Create custom controls and workflows for specific business requirements

The platform's AI agent provides smart recommendations and automates routine tasks. It remembers your setup and continuously monitors your systems, so you can focus on strategic work instead of manual evidence gathering. Always review the automated evidence to ensure it meets your specific compliance requirements.
