SOC 2 Using Drata
What do you like best about the product?
Drata helps provide clarity to a very ambiguous process that helped us streamline our efforts to improve our security posture and make efficient progress towards SOC 2 certification. It's pretty fun to use as you can see the progress quickly in the application, and you can easily spread out the work amongst the staff so that everyone can take ownership of their tasks. It provides helpful guidance in the application, and our account manager is always responsive to our questions.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't have any complaints. Drata is frequently releasing updates, and they are responsive to any bumps in the road that we've run into in the process.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Drata helps provide best practices for business and security processes that we might not have spelled out by providing templates of policies and guidance on controls.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would highly recommend using Drata for SOC 2. We committed as an organization to the process as we knew it would be valuable to our clients and potential customers and Drata certainly streamlined that process for us a smaller entrepreneurial organization. Drata guided us efficiently since we did not have dedicated in-house experienced security resources.

A trusted partner for your journey
What do you like best about the product?
Drata's hyper-focus on the customer is why they have succeeded in building a great platform and why they have quickly become one of our most trusted partners.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing, at this point. Drata is focused on what matters, so the platform may not seem as configurable to those looking for very tailored functionality or workflows. For us, the focus is a benefit as too many options creates noise and blockers to adoption.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are a young company and were looking for a partner/platform to help us manage security/compliance and help us prepare for SOC 2. Drata not only helped us achieve those goals but became an extension of our team and program.
Instead of Crawling our Company Launched into SOC 2 Compliance.
What do you like best about the product?
Compliance is an incredibly complex process. Drata automates and simplifies so much of with its tech and people it has become much easier to define and accomplish our SOC 2 Type 1 and Type 2 goals. It's really made the whole process attainable.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't much that we dislike. I think there are some UI/UX usability issues I would like to see. Specifically more ability to allow the tool to see what *we* need, not so much what Drata assumes is essential.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've been able to attain 90 percent of our SOC 2 Type 1 goals in under two months. Drata gives you clear direction in how to approac SOC 2 and gives you the tools and expertise to get that done. Most of all I love the customer success team. My team has been on the spot with everything I've asked. There's no way this project gets done in the timeframe we need without this amazing product.

There's not much to say here! All the initial quirks with the product have quickly been addressed, such as a more expansive Auditor mode, multiple infra account monitoring, etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Pursuing a SOC 2 certification is a huge undertaking. Drata helps make the process far more digestible, identifying the most critical items to ensure the team is hyper-focused on delivering the highest value first.
Continuous monitoring all the way!
What do you like best about the product?
Drata allows companies to automate the control of what's going on internally, having these controls monitored every single second rather than just seeing pictures of this over time is the most helpful thing ever for people and companies that care about their compliance.
What do you dislike about the product?
Ohh, if you could complete the endless security questionnaires that come to our emails it would be so good :)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automated compliance controls for achieving SOC2. It should be awesome to see how we compare to all the other standards, but I guess we'll check it over time
Drata is exactly what companies need to be on top of their security game. Easy to use, efficient.
What do you like best about the product?
Very responsive staff, plug and play features. Timely checks. The design is simple and robust. Well made integrations.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much to write here, the company is still quite young. Stuff just works and if they don't have an integration they find solutions then just build one whenever possible.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being compliant with the most rigorous security requirements.
Drata For SOC2 Experience
What do you like best about the product?
On rare occasions, a new company will revolutionize a standard industry process with an intuitive simplicity. Drata has done precisely this with its compliance platform. I found the user experience relatively intuitive, unlike many others I have used in the past. The customer service provided throughout the initial setup was outstanding. With new product features continuously included, I am excited to see additional future features to come. Nonetheless, at its core, this is undoubtedly worth consideration.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have yet to find a "downside" or "dislike" as of yet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are centralizing knowledge, with accuracy & functionality being essential.
