Drata
Pick Drata if: Companies of up to 50 people that need one of SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR or Cyber Essentials, with room to add more frameworks later.
Skip it if: Teams that want to try it before a sales call, or pay month to month: there is no free plan or sign-up trial, and contracts renew yearly with no refunds.
Quick overview

- Three compliance plans: Foundation (up to 50 FTEs, 1 pre-mapped framework from SOC 2, ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials, HIPAA and GDPR), Advanced (any available framework, custom tests) and Enterprise (adds Risk Management Pro, Compliance as Code Pro and User Access Review). Extra frameworks are an add-on on every plan. No plan shows a price, and every Get Started button opens a demo request form.

Drata in our comparisons
Vanta vs Drata vs Secureframe
Secureframe costs least of the three: $7,500 a year on its own pricing page. Drata's $15,000 list covers up to 50 people, Vanta's $14,000 only 20. None of the three includes the audit.
Vanta alternatives
Secureframe for most small teams: from $7,500 a year with one framework on its own pricing page, the only big-three price you can read before a sales call. Sprinto covers up to 100 people for $9,500; Thoropass puts the audit in the same contract.
HIPAA software for small health tech
Accountable if HIPAA is all you need: $169 a month billed yearly, prices on its site (its trial needs a card). Compliancy Group lets you try everything for 14 days with no card. Once customers ask for SOC 2 too, Secureframe starts at $7,500 a year.
