SOC 2 compliance automation platform · verified
Drata
We found Drata's pricing is not published; third-party procurement data (Vendr) puts observed annual contracts from about $9,649 to $60,000 with a $24,869 median. G2 rates Drata 4.7/5 across roughly 1,331 reviews (a slightly higher rating on fewer reviews than Vanta).
The most consistent independent criticism is renewal-price growth, echoed across G2, Reddit, and third-party comparison sites; a second, more technical limitation is the lack of native SCIM provisioning per a specialist SCIM integrator, which matters for enterprise buyers who need automated deprovisioning.
Desk research against public sources. Every figure below carries its source and the date we retrieved it.
What Drata does.
Seven capabilities, graded the same way for every platform in the directory. "Not established" means we looked and could not confirm it, not that the feature is missing.
| Capability | Status | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Automated evidence collection | Yes | Automated tests run across connected systems and map to in-scope controls. Source |
| Auditor workspace | Yes | Audit Hub centralizes auditor evidence requests and approvals; help.drata.com documents what auditors can see in the Audit Portal versus the customer view. Source |
| Trust center | Yes | Powered by SafeBase, which Drata acquired in February 2025 (drata.com/blog/acquiring-safebase); newer accounts manage it through the SafeBase-based experience per help.drata.com. Source |
| Security questionnaire answering | Yes | Current product is AI Questionnaire Assistance (AIQA); the earlier 'Security Questionnaire Automation' beta was sunset April 30, 2026 (help.drata.com), so treat older mentions of 'SQA' as superseded. Source |
| Enterprise admin (SSO, SCIM, RBAC) | Partial | SSO and RBAC are documented (help.drata.com), and Enterprise-Grade Workspaces cover multi-program/multi-entity management, but a third-party SCIM integrator states Drata has no native SCIM provisioning, requiring manual or third-party-tool user lifecycle management. Source |
| SCIM 2.0 provisioning | Not established | Downgraded from a no after a second, independent pass disagreed, and the disagreement is the finding. Reading Drata's own Okta guide, the integration authenticates with a token and a read scope, which is Drata reading from Okta rather than Okta provisioning into Drata. But Okta's own integration catalogue lists Drata with SCIM and with create, update and deactivate provisioning, and a specialist directory that elsewhere says Drata has no native SCIM states in its own body text that Okta-mediated SCIM ships on Drata's Enterprise tier, for Okta only. Those cannot all be true as written. Since this is the single most load-bearing fact on the enterprise page, we record that we could not establish it rather than pick the reading we found first. Ask Drata in writing. |
| Continuous control testing | Yes | Drata's own materials do not state a test cadence; Vanta's comparison page and two independent comparison sites (cybersierra.co, trycomp.ai) describe Drata's cadence as daily, versus Vanta's stated hourly cadence. Source |
| Native multi-framework support | Partial | Drata documents that multiple controls can map to a single framework requirement across its 30+ pre-built frameworks, i.e. shared/cross-mapped controls rather than confirmed fully independent native control sets per framework. Source |
9 frameworks, and how well each is established.
A framework on a marketing page is a vendor claim, not a confirmed capability. We grade the difference rather than repeating the list.
| Framework | Evidence | Note |
|---|---|---|
| SOC 2 | Confirmed | Independently described by TechCrunch and categorized by G2 as SOC 2/compliance automation software, not only asserted on Drata's own site. Source |
| ISO 27001 | Vendor-claimed | Source |
| HIPAA | Vendor-claimed | Source |
| PCI DSS | Vendor-claimed | Source |
| GDPR | Vendor-claimed | Source |
| CMMC | Vendor-claimed | Source |
| NIS2 | Vendor-claimed | Cited on Drata's frameworks page and repeated across 2026 third-party comparisons; not independently verified control-by-control. Source |
| DORA | Vendor-claimed | Cited on Drata's frameworks page and repeated across 2026 third-party comparisons; not independently verified control-by-control. Source |
| NYDFS Part 500 | Vendor-claimed | Announced live 2025-11-20 as a supported framework with mapped controls and reporting for the annual certification. Drata's own announcement; the mapping is not independently verified control-by-control, and the certification itself is filed by the covered entity, not issued by Drata. Source |

Auditor fees are separate from all of these. See the SOC 2 audit cost guide for what the audit itself runs.
Who actually issues the report.
Drata is not a CPA firm and does not issue the SOC 2 report itself. It automates evidence collection and continuous control monitoring and gives auditors a scoped Audit Portal view plus its own Audit Alliance directory of partner CPA firms; an independent, AICPA-accredited CPA firm performs the examination and signs the report.
Software prepares you for the audit; a licensed CPA firm performs it and issues the report. If you have not picked a firm yet, we list independent SOC 2 auditors separately, and we are not one of them.
Who Drata is for, and who it is not.
Good fit
A growing SaaS company that wants deep, well-documented connectors on a mainstream stack, values interface polish and G2-rated support experience, and plans to run more than one framework over time.
Poor fit
A buyer who wants price certainty at renewal or fully automated identity lifecycle management out of the box: independent sources (G2 reviews, Reddit, multiple pricing-comparison sites) repeatedly describe year-two renewal increases in the 10-40% range as a recurring complaint, and a third-party SCIM integrator reports Drata has no native SCIM, so user provisioning/deprovisioning at scale needs a workaround.
Typical buyer: Growth-stage SaaS companies pursuing a first SOC 2 or expanding into a multi-framework program (ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS) who want a modern, developer-friendly interface..

1 fact on this page we could not establish.
Everything above renders with its evidence state, so a gap is visible rather than quietly filled in. If you work at Drata, send us the sources and we will fill them.
Verification is free and always will be. It does not change where Drata appears in any list on this site, what our reviews conclude, or which platform we recommend to a buyer. We only accept a correction that comes with a source we can check ourselves, and the source is published in the ledger above alongside the date.
