Drata remains one of the two default choices (alongside Vanta) for continuous compliance automation: connect your cloud, identity and dev stack and it collects evidence and monitors controls for SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA, PCI and more. Since the $250M SafeBase acquisition it also runs customer-facing trust centres, and through 2025–26 it has pushed hard into AI agents — vendor-risk review first, AI-agent governance announced June 2026. G2 reviewers rate it 4.8 across 1,100+ reviews, ahead of Vanta's 4.6. Pricing is quote-only and enterprise-shaped: third-party figures put entry around US$7,500/year, and renewal increases are the most-cited complaint. It automates evidence, not judgment — policies and the audit itself remain human work. Highly relevant to ASEAN companies selling into SOC 2/ISO-demanding Western markets.
What people say
Renewal-pricing surprises are the loudest complaint in Drata's otherwise glowing review base — a 4.8 on G2 across 1,100+ reviews as of Q2 2026, ahead of Vanta's 4.6 across roughly 2,400.
The head-to-head with Vanta frames most buying decisions. Third-party pricing surveys put Drata's entry point around $7,500/year for a single framework versus Vanta's roughly $10,000, and additional frameworks run about $1,500 each against Vanta's $5,000 — average contract value lands near $13,500. Vanta counters with more integrations (400+ to Drata's 300+) and about twice the customer count. Drata itself publishes no prices; everything is quote-based, segmented by Startup, Growth and Enterprise stages.
The platform has moved well past evidence collection. The $250M SafeBase acquisition added customer-facing trust centres (the SafeBase brand was folded into Drata in March 2026), an autonomous vendor-risk-management agent shipped in August 2025, and in June 2026 Drata announced AI Agent Governance — tooling to discover, monitor and govern the AI agents running inside your own company, which it's betting becomes the next enterprise security category.
Reviewers' actual friction points: a learning curve when implementing custom controls outside the standard frameworks, and those renewal quotes. And no automation platform writes your policies or sits the audit for you — budget human time for both. For ASEAN startups selling into markets that demand SOC 2 or ISO 27001, Drata cuts the evidence-gathering grind dramatically; just negotiate multi-year pricing up front, because the second-year quote is where buyers get stung.
