Drata Turns 4, Crosses $100M ARR, and Unveils New Look
From $1M to $100M ARR in just 3.5 years—a story of explosive growth, relentless execution, and customer obsession.
Drata just turned four years old, and the journey thus far has been nothing short of extraordinary. As the saying goes, “The days are long, but the years are short.” Growing from $1M to $100M ARR in just 3 ½ years places Drata proudly among a small, elite group of SaaS companies to ever achieve such a trajectory - companies like Wiz, Deel, Ramp, Slack, and now Drata.
In just 48 months, Drata has grown from initial launch to:
$100M+ ARR
7,000+ customers across 60 countries, including over one-third of the Cloud 100
Trusted by the incredible teams at Notion, Abnormal Security, LinkedIn, Okta, SentinelOne, OpenAI, Tenable, and more
2K+ outside the US
10,000+ streamlined audits and 2,500+ auditors supported
$15B in transactions enabled through trust centers
13 consecutive quarters in the Leader quadrant on G2 with nearly 1,000 customer reviews

Drata is a Top 5 Global ISV with AWS
Drata named one of the Top 4 most purchased products for January 2025
300+ integrations (including 100 integrations added in just 100 days last year!)
This remarkable growth reflects the power of a simple yet effective formula that I believe is behind our success:
Profound appreciation → Relentless execution → Unprecedented results ↺
This virtuous cycle of appreciation, execution, and results has propelled Drata from a single compliance automation product into the world’s most comprehensive Trust Management platform. In just four years, Drata has achieved what few companies have ever achieved, and of those that do, the median time required is a decade or more. We’ve gone multi-product, serving startups with compliance automation while offering enterprises modern GRC solutions and advanced security assurance tools. We’ve expanded globally, with customers in well over 60 countries and 30% of our base outside the U.S. And we’ve supported businesses across various segments, from high-growth startups to Fortune 100 companies, and everywhere in between.
Building Trust: Then and Now
When we launched Drata four years ago, our focus was clear: to help customers achieve and maintain compliance with frameworks like SOC 2 and ISO 27001 with an automation-first approach. Today, our vision of trust remains, only the platform to achieve that vision has expanded massively.
At Drata, we define Trust Management as the process of continuously ensuring and communicating that a company is secure, compliant, and deserving of customer trust. By enabling businesses to establish and demonstrate trust, we unlock opportunities, accelerate growth, and empower them to achieve their full potential.
Our mission, as it was on day one, remains steadfast: to be the trust layer between great companies. Today, Drata empowers 7,000+ customers—from startups to global enterprises—to build, maintain, and demonstrate trust at scale.
Driving Growth: Why Now?
Demand for a Trust Management platform like Drata is fueled by a perfect storm of factors:
Cloud and AI dependency: Enterprises increasingly rely on third-party vendors with access to sensitive customer data.
Rising security risks: High-profile breaches and stricter regulatory requirements have raised the bar globally for security and compliance.
Regulatory pressures: Frameworks like SOC 2, GDPR, and ISO 27001 are now baseline expectations, with emerging standards like DORA, ISO 42001, and the EU AI Act adding new complexities.
Of course, AI has and will continue to play a transformative role in this journey. I see AI as a magnifying glass over every part of the GRC experience. By embedding AI into our platform, we’re not only helping companies comply with evolving AI regulations but also enabling them to stay ahead of emerging risks while saving time with deeper automation. Drata will continue to lead the charge, driving innovation and setting new standards for trust management.
The SafeBase Acquisition: A Picture-Perfect Partnership
Our recent acquisition of SafeBase, the world’s leading trust center solution, marks another major milestone in our journey. SafeBase’s Trust Center and AI-powered questionnaire assistance have helped over 1,000 customers demonstrate their security posture, streamline reviews, and accelerate revenue growth.
In just four years, SafeBase trust centers have been visited millions of times and security teams have utilized these trust centers across $15B in transactions. Together, Drata and SafeBase are redefining Trust Management and delivering unprecedented value to our customers.
A “Brand” New Look
After 4 years, we’ve officially unveiled a refreshed brand, which includes our new logo, wordmark, color palette, typography, and more. Drata’s new identity is more than just a visual update—it’s a representation of who we are and where we’re going. It conveys trust, strength, and an unwavering commitment to excellence, setting the stage for the next chapter in our brand’s journey. We’re very excited for this to be rolled out across the rest of our website over the coming months.
What’s Next?
As we look ahead to the next four years, our commitment remains resolute. We will continue to innovate, grow, and deliver solutions that empower businesses to scale trust, stay secure, and thrive in an ever-changing risk landscape.
