Drata vs Secureframe

Drata is a compliance automation and governance, risk and compliance (GRC) platform founded in 2020. Its about page lists offices in San Francisco, New York, San Diego, London and Sydney. It says more than 8,500 organizations use it, and it reported about $100 million in annual recurring revenue in February 2025. Its last disclosed round was a $200 million Series C co-led by ICONIQ Growth and GGV Capital in December 2022 at a $2 billion valuation, which took total funding past $328 million. It bought Harmonize.io and oak9 in 2024 and the trust center company SafeBase for $250 million in February 2025. The platform offers more than 30 pre-built frameworks with continuous control monitoring, automated evidence collection, policies, risk management, third-party risk management with agent-based assessments, and a Trust Center built on SafeBase. Its AI features include questionnaire assistance, mapping policies to controls, explanations of failed tests and an MCP server. More than 175 audit firms are in its Audit Alliance. **AI compliance coverage** Drata has framework pages for ISO/IEC 42001, which maps the standard's requirements to its control library and links AI-specific risks to controls, and for the NIST AI RMF, supported since December 2023. It also lists AIUC-1. The EU AI Act is not in its framework list; the Act is mentioned only for AI Agent Governance, a limited-availability product announced in August 2026 that enforces policy on AI agents and maps to ISO 42001, the EU AI Act and AIUC-1. **Who it's for** Growth-stage and enterprise companies running SOC 2, ISO 27001 and similar programs that want ISO 42001 or the NIST AI RMF on the same platform. It is not a model testing or LLM content filtering tool.

Secureframe is a compliance automation (GRC) platform founded in January 2020 by Shrav Mehta and Natasja Nielsen. It is based in San Francisco, lists more than 200 employees across hubs in San Francisco, New York, Austin, Denver, Toronto and London, and has raised $79 million, most recently a $56 million Series B led by Accomplice in February 2022. The platform covers infrastructure monitoring, evidence collection, policy and risk management, vendor reviews and a Trust Center across more than 30 security, privacy and federal frameworks, including SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, CMMC and FedRAMP. Its AI features (Comply AI and Trust AI) draft questionnaire answers, suggest control mappings, score risks, pull answers from vendor SOC 2 reports, generate infrastructure-as-code fixes and check uploaded audit evidence. Its MCP server lets AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Claude and Cursor read compliance data. **AI compliance coverage** Secureframe added NIST AI RMF and ISO 42001 support in May 2024; its framework pages describe policy templates, pre-built tests, continuous monitoring and AI risk management for each. It says it added full support for the EU AI Act in September 2025, but has no dedicated EU AI Act page describing what is included. **Who it's for** Startups and mid-market companies, including defense contractors through its Defense plan, that want a published starting price. The case studies we found cover security and privacy frameworks, not AI governance.
