Drata implementation & readiness

Drata, configured to fit your stack — not a generic install.

As an official Drata partner, Cyberneza provides hands-on Drata implementation and configuration as part of tool-agnostic compliance readiness. We connect your cloud and SaaS systems, map controls to your target framework, and set up evidence automation so Drata reflects how your team actually works — then handle the compliance program around it. Genuinely tool-agnostic: if Drata isn't the right fit for you, we'll say so.

Sound familiar?

Drata is powerful — but compliance expertise makes it click

Drata automates evidence collection, monitors controls, and streamlines audits. But getting the most out of it takes someone who knows what auditors expect. That's where we come in.

Cyberneza is tool-agnostic — prefer a different platform? See our Vanta implementation, or how our partner network fits in.

Common

Monitors failing, but not sure what to fix first

Drata surfaces what needs attention — the challenge is knowing which items to prioritize and how to resolve them in your specific environment.

Common

Policies need to match how you actually operate

Drata's policy templates are a solid foundation. We tailor them to reflect your real workflows so they hold up during audit review.

Common

Integrations connected, but not fully tuned

Getting tools linked is step one. We make sure each integration is configured to produce the evidence your auditor will actually need.

Common

Green checks, but not sure what "audit-ready" means

Drata shows your compliance posture in real time. We bridge the gap between platform status and what auditors look for when they walk through your controls.

What we do

Drata implementation, done right the first time

Setup & configuration

Stand up your Drata instance and configure it to your environment and target framework, rather than accepting generic defaults.

Integrations & evidence automation

Connect your cloud providers, identity, and SaaS tools so evidence is collected automatically — and disable checks that don't apply to you.

Control mapping

Align Drata's controls and tests with your real policies and procedures for SOC 2, ISO 27001, or other frameworks.

Readiness, not just the tool

A platform is only part of the picture. We handle the compliance program around Drata — policies, controls, and audit coordination — so you're genuinely ready, not just installed.

Just the license — preferred partner pricing

Only need the platform? As a Drata partner, we can set you up with Drata at preferred partner pricing — no implementation required. Add our readiness support whenever you want it.

Cyberneza is an independent, tool-agnostic consultancy and an official partner for both Vanta and Drata. We implement multiple GRC platforms and recommend the one that fits your stage, budget, and stack, not the one that pays us. References to other platforms describe our implementation support and do not imply a formal partnership or endorsement. Cyberneza prepares organizations for audits; it does not perform audits or issue certifications.

FAQ

Common questions

Do I need to already have a Drata subscription?

No. If you don't have Drata yet, we'll help you get set up at preferred partner pricing and implement it correctly from the start. If you already have Drata, we'll work with your existing instance.

What is a Drata Kickstart?

Drata Kickstart is a fixed-fee sprint designed for teams that already have Drata (or just purchased it) and need help getting configured correctly. In 5–10 business days, we review your environment, connect core integrations, analyze failing monitors, and deliver a prioritized roadmap to audit readiness.

Does Kickstart include full SOC 2 readiness?

Kickstart gets your Drata instance properly configured and gives you a clear roadmap, but it doesn't include full policy writing, evidence preparation, or audit coordination. Many clients start with Kickstart and then move into a full readiness engagement.

Should we pick Vanta or Drata?

Whichever fits your stage, budget, and stack — we're official partners for both and have no stake in steering you either way. On a scoping call we'll look at your environment and recommend the platform (or no platform at all) that gets you audit-ready fastest.

Can you do the audit itself?

No — and that's by design. Cyberneza prepares you for audit; a separate, independent auditor conducts it. This maintains auditor independence and the integrity of your certification.

How long does it take to get audit-ready?

Most readiness projects are completed in weeks, not quarters — total time depends on starting point, team size, and how quickly gaps can be closed. If you already have Drata partially set up, it can be faster.

Get Drata set up properly
