How Drata approaches compliance

Drata is a cloud-based security and compliance automation platform that centralizes controls, policies, evidence collection, and audit workflows into a single system. It automates around 80% of evidence collection by integrating deeply into your tech stack, connecting to tools like AWS, GitHub, and Okta to continuously monitor security controls.

DrataDrata continuously monitors security controls and supports compliance frameworks including SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, and PCI DSS. More recently, Drata has also added AI-native capabilities, including agentic questionnaire automation that learns from your knowledge base to draft consistent answers.

The model is integration-first: connect your systems, let Drata collect evidence automatically, and work toward certification from there.


How InControl Hub approaches compliance

InControl Hub takes the opposite starting point. It does not require you to connect your tech stack or install agents. Instead, it starts with how your organization actually operates: your existing processes become the foundation, controls are made explicit, and those controls are mapped to every framework that applies.

Where Drata automates evidence collection from your systems, InControl Hub structures your existing control environment and uses AI to analyze supplier documentation and pre-fill assessments, keeping accountability with your team throughout.

Drata is a strong choice if you:
Need fast, automated evidence collection tied to your tech stack
Operate a technology-first environment with common SaaS tooling
Want continuous monitoring with real-time audit readiness
InControl Hub is a strong choice if you:
Operate across multiple frameworks simultaneously
Want to build from your existing way of working, not a predefined template
Need vendor risk management as a core capability, not an add-on
Operate in the EU and want data sovereignty by design
