Price detail for the other leading platform is on Vanta pricing, and the two-product choice is on Vanta vs Drata. The Drata software profile lists its packages and integrations.

How much does Drata cost?

Drata plans and both AWS listings checked October 20, 2026. Vendr data retrieved September 30, 2026.

The Foundation Package matches the name and 50-employee cap of the Foundation plan on Drata’s site, which includes one pre-mapped framework. The AWS listing does not itemize frameworks, so confirm that the package covers SOC 2 before treating $15,000 as an all-in figure. Past 50 employees, the Platform listing is the published AWS route: $25,000 for platform capacity up to 100 FTE, plus $7,500 for each framework. Neither listing is mapped to Foundation, Advanced, or Enterprise, and both mention private offers, so confirm the actual order and term before budgeting.

The Platform listing sells 13 frameworks as separate lines at $7,500 each: SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, PCI DSS, CCPA, CMMC, Microsoft SSPA, NIST CSF, NIST SP 800-53, ISO 27701, FFIEC and DORA. A second framework adds another $7,500, so SOC 2 plus ISO 27001 is $40,000 for 12 months before any module. The listing states no capacity above 100 FTE and no per-seat price.

The reported range combines different company sizes, frameworks, systems, services, terms, and negotiations. It shows neither a small-company floor nor a large-company ceiling, and the $25,000 median is a reference point rather than a rate card. Divided by 12, the median is about $2,083 a month and the $32,500 AWS subtotal about $2,708. That is arithmetic, not evidence of monthly billing.

Why do Drata pricing guides give different starting prices?

Several guides put Drata’s entry price at $7,500 a year, but on AWS Marketplace $7,500 is the price of one framework line sold on top of the $25,000 platform fee, and the cheapest listed package is $15,000. Drata’s own plans page shows no dollar figure for any plan.

Forum posts reporting $5,000 to $7,500 a year sit below both listings and below the lowest contract in Vendr’s data ($9,415). They may reflect older terms, a discount or a narrower scope, and none says which. Ask Drata which package your quote is built on before comparing it with a number from a guide.

What Drata plans are available?

Drata publishes three compliance plans, Foundation, Advanced, and Enterprise, that differ in who is eligible and what each includes. It publishes no dollar amount for any plan.

The table records selected decision gates, not the full feature matrix. User Access Review is an add-on on Foundation and Advanced, and Additional Frameworks is an add-on on all three. Drata’s page says its comparison is not comprehensive and directs buyers to sales for an exact breakdown.

Which Drata commercial terms remain unknown?

An unknown is not zero. It is a required procurement question.

What can increase a Drata quote?

Ask Drata to itemize these scope levers, and send every shortlisted vendor the same inventory so the totals compare:

• Frameworks: exact standards included now, later additions, and reuse across shared controls.
• Company and system scope: employees, entities, cloud accounts, endpoints, repositories, and vendors.
• Integrations and custom work: required connectors, evidence depth, API work, and usage limits.
• Optional products: trust center, questionnaire workflows, vendor risk, and any other required module.
• Implementation and support: named work, named owner, response commitments, completion criteria, and one-time fees.
• Enterprise administration: SSO, RBAC, workspaces, and user provisioning. Native SCIM is not confirmed. Drata documents SCIM group-to-role changes, but its guide does not establish full account provisioning or deactivation. If you need automated lifecycle management, confirm the method and plan in writing.
• Contract: initial term, renewal term, notice period, uplift cap, and what happens if scope shrinks.
• Audit: independent CPA firm, fee, timeline, and deliverable under a separate engagement.

Do not fill a missing line with an industry average. Request the amount or leave it unknown. The Secureframe review and Sprinto review cover the budget lines to request from two other platforms.
