Drata, founded in 2020 by Adam Markowitz, Daniel Marashlian, and Troy Markowitz, automates security-compliance monitoring and evidence collection the same way Vanta, also covered in this directory, does, but positions itself specifically for scaling and mid-market companies managing multiple overlapping frameworks rather than a startup racing to its first audit alone.
That positioning shows in the product itself: Drata builds deeper automation and more granular control over individual pieces of evidence, plus a more structured, hands-on support model built for organizations whose security programs are maturing past a single certification, rather than the fastest-possible-path approach Vanta optimizes for.
Estimated annual pricing runs $7,500 to $100,000 depending on scale and framework count, landing below Vanta's estimated range at comparable company sizes in most reported cases. For a scaling or mid-market company managing several compliance frameworks with a maturing security program, rather than a startup wanting the fastest first audit, Drata's deeper control and structured support address that directly.
