UprootSecurity vs Drata

Drata got you through the audit. Who is watching the other 51 weeks?

Continuous compliance monitoring, a dedicated compliance expert and audit-ready evidence in one platform, so passing the audit actually means something.

Compliance frameworks covered: SOC 2 · ISO 27001 · ISO 42001 · HIPAA · GDPR · PCI DSS v4.0.1 · NIST CSF 2.0 · DORA · and 14 more

Why teams move

Three reasons teams leave Drata

Themes from Drata's own pricing page and verified reviews on G2.

The price climbs as you grow

Plans are tiered with no public prices. The entry plan is capped at 50 employees, and extra frameworks cost more.

You get a custom quote up front, with pentesting included in the plan.

The setup curve lands on your calendar

Reviewers say setup and mapping controls across frameworks take time, and alerts get noisy until tuned.

A dedicated compliance expert maps controls and tunes alerts with you, so week one is review.

Automation thins out at the edges

Some reviewers say niche or legacy systems need manual workarounds.

With 140+ integrations and a dedicated compliance expert, the gaps a connector can't reach are handled with you, not left to you.

Limited, not publicly documented

"Limited" means narrower, sold separately, or not publicly documented, per Drata's pages and reviews, November 2026. Where Drata is ahead: more frameworks (30+ pre-built vs 22), more integrations (hundreds vs 140+), and G2 support (9.6/10).

What you get

Security that produces the evidence, not evidence that hopes for security

Test detail: acknowledgement of access control procedures, failing, with evidence health history
Evidence library

Evidence you can open, verify and take with you

Every artifact is fingerprinted on arrival and sealed, so you can prove it hasn't changed, offline.

  • sha256 + ed25519 signature, write-once storage

  • Stale evidence re-pulls before your auditor sees it

  • Export the full library, any time

Auditor view: SOC 2 2026 audit, 0 of 93 controls verified, read-only control list
Auditor portal

They self-serve. You watch the trail.

Scoped, read-only, time-boxed access. Every view is recorded.

  • One-click revoke, SSO enforced

  • No email attachments

  • 3 days median fieldwork

An AI integration you can audit before you connect it

Let Claude Code or Cursor triage tests and file evidence, within published limits.

  • Writes need Owner or Admin

  • Cannot delete tests, policies, vendors or risks

  • Cannot reach another org or user

Algorithmic Due Diligence control: unhealthy status, DPDP framework, owner and its linked test
Continuous monitoring

Drift becomes a finding in minutes, with the fix attached

1,247 tests across cloud, identity, code and vendors, most every 15 minutes.

  • Alerts to PagerDuty and Slack, with a fix attached

  • Fixes as Terraform or IAM JSON

  • 86% of drift auto-resolved, 14-min median

Accountability

What we will not let the AI decide

Decisions an auditor needs a name behind stay with a person.

  • Approving and publishing a policy

  • Accepting and scoring a risk

  • Assigning a vendor's risk tier

  • Answering a vendor questionnaire

  • Completing a vendor review

  • Deciding what enters the risk register

The difference

Compliance tool, or security platform?

SOC 2 and ISO 27001 should be byproducts of being secure, not the product you bought.

A compliance-first platform
  • ×

    Continuous risk monitoring and vendor breach alerts cost extra, on top of the platform

  • ×

    Controls get checked once a year, on a date in a contract

  • ×

    Gaps arrive as a PDF that someone has to translate into tickets

  • ×

    The dashboard is green while a real gap is still open

  • ×

    You pass the audit and still don't know if you'd survive an attacker

With UprootSecurity
  • ✓

    Drift is caught and fixed automatically, inside the platform you already pay for

  • ✓

    1,247 checks running continuously, not once a year

  • ✓

    Failing controls arrive with an owner and a fix attached

  • ✓

    Every one of those checks is also your signed evidence for SOC 2, ISO 27001 and PCI

  • ✓

    The audit report is the byproduct. Being secure is the product
