1. Technology overview
Drata is a security compliance company founded in 2020 by Adam Markowitz, Troy Markowitz, and Daniel Marashlian, headquartered in San Francisco, California, US. It was built to remove the manual evidence-collection work that made SOC 2, ISO 27001, and similar audits slow and repetitive for growing companies.
Its Trust Management Platform automates continuous control monitoring and evidence collection, hosts a public Trust Center for sharing security posture with customers, and adds AI-based questionnaire automation and third-party risk assessment.
