Our take
Traditional manual compliance workflows are tedious, error-prone and extremely hard to scale, which presents special difficulties for rapidly growing companies in maintaining strong data security. Drata enables companies to manage compliance easily through automatic monitoring and evidence collection, building a single picture of risk across the company.
The company has several competitors offering compliance automation solutions, including Vanta and Secureframe, but Drata is unique in automating the tasks itself rather than generating notifications for teams to action. This approach has garnered Drata a client base of thousands of companies, including bambooHR, Notion and Abnormal.
Drata has grown swiftly since its 2020 founding and acquired trust automation company Safebase in 2025 for a staggering $250 million. Iconiq Growth and GGV Capital have led Drata's impressive funding rounds in previous years, but its aim now is to expand its presence. Through its acquisition of SafeBase, Drata has also gained its customers, among which are tech leaders such as Palantir, LinkedIn and OpenAI, which will undoubtedly help it maintain its leading edge.
