Drata is a compliance automation platform that helps teams achieve and monitor SOC 2, ISO 27001, and similar frameworks through integrations and continuous control checks.

What Drata does well

Drata does automated evidence collection, continuous monitoring, and framework guidance well, with a polished workflow for security teams pursuing certification. Its integration library and audit-prep flow are a strong fit for cloud-native companies.

Why teams look for an alternative

Teams look at Drata alternatives when their compliance is as much operational as it is technical, when they want SOPs, inspections, and work orders in the same system as controls and evidence, or when they need pricing and setup that suit a growing team rather than a dedicated security function.

One system, not two
Compliance that lives where the work happens

Pure compliance-automation tools prove your posture but sit apart from how the team actually operates. The result is two systems: one for evidence, one for work. RakuOps keeps controls and evidence in the same place your team runs SOPs, checklists, inspections, and work orders, so the record is a by-product of doing the job.

Where RakuOps fits

RakuOps is an operations and compliance platform that brings controls, audits, corrective actions, SOPs and checklists, work orders, automation, and an audit trail into one connected system. For teams that want compliance to live alongside daily operations rather than in a separate tool, it keeps you audit-ready every day and maps to ISO 27001, ISO 9001, SOC 2, and more. It starts at $49/month with a free 14-day trial and no credit card.
