What is Drata?
Drata is a San Diego-based compliance automation platform founded in 2020 by Adam Markowitz (CEO), Daniel Marashlian (CTO), and Troy Markowitz (COO — Adam's brother). The platform automates the control monitoring and evidence collection that companies need to maintain audit-ready security and privacy programs across **14+ frameworks** including SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, NIST SP 800-53, PCI DSS, CCPA, CMMC, and more. Drata pulls signals from 200+ integrations across cloud, IAM, HR, code, and ticketing systems, then runs continuous control tests and surfaces gaps to the security team — turning what used to be an annual fire-drill into an always-on dashboard. The company has raised **$328.2M total** with a **$200M Series C that doubled valuation to $2B**, led by Iconiq Capital with GGV Capital, Cowboy Ventures, and many others. ARR reached approximately **$100M** in 2025. The team has scaled to ~732 employees as of 2026 and serves thousands of customers including high-growth startups and Fortune-500 firms.
