Product & market

Pricing

Enterprise SaaS subscription; public evidence indicates packaging by compliance/GRC scope, frameworks, users, integrations, and modules, with pricing generally quote-based rather than openly published. Drata integrations are included with a Drata SaaS subscription.

—Continuous rather than point-in-time control monitoring and evidence collection
—Broad compliance-framework and enterprise GRC coverage
—Unified compliance, risk, assurance, security reviews, and trust-center workflows
—AI-native/agentic automation and emerging AI-agent governance
—Integration ecosystem for automated evidence collection
—Enterprise focus and reported strength in enterprise adoption
—SafeBase trust-center and security-review capabilities integrated into the platform
