Overview
Drata is a cloud-based governance, risk and compliance (GRC) platform that automates evidence collection, control monitoring and audit readiness across security and regulatory frameworks. Founded in 2020 by former aerospace and cybersecurity engineers, it grew out of the observation that compliance teams were manually screenshotting cloud console settings to prove controls to auditors, and built a product that instead pulls that evidence continuously through API integrations. Among the 30+ frameworks it supports out of the box is SOX ITGC, IT General Controls that sit within a company's broader Sarbanes-Oxley internal control set and cover the reliability of the financial reporting systems -- including ERPs -- that feed a company's books.
The platform's core mechanism is shared control mapping: a team defines a control once, maps it to every applicable framework requirement, and Drata's monitoring layer continuously tests it against live system state rather than a point-in-time audit snapshot. Beyond compliance automation, Drata's Enterprise GRC product adds cross-framework risk registers and task ownership, its Trust Center gives customers a self-serve portal to review a company's security posture, and its newer AI agent features draft responses to security questionnaires and run automated third-party vendor risk assessments.
Drata reports serving more than 8,500 customers globally, spanning startup, growth-stage and enterprise companies, and holds a 4.8/5.0 rating on G2. It is privately held and venture-backed, having raised a $200M Series C in December 2022 led by ICONIQ Growth and GGV Capital.

Drata's published integration catalog covers cloud infrastructure, identity, HR, version control, ticketing and security tooling; it does not document a dedicated NetSuite, SAP, Oracle or Microsoft Dynamics connector. Its SOX ITGC coverage addresses IT general controls over systems, including ERPs, but not direct ERP data integration.
