A security-compliance automation platform focused on SOC 2, ISO 27001 and continuous monitoring.
Drata is a strong security-compliance automation platform, well known for streamlining SOC 2 and ISO 27001 with continuous control monitoring and a large integration catalogue. As with other GRC suites, the EU AI Act is one framework it can map to rather than its core purpose. Conformly is built solely for the EU AI Act — deterministic classification, Annex IV, AI-literacy tracking, transparent pricing and EU hosting. Choose Drata for broad security automation; choose Conformly when the AI Act is the job to be done.
