The Benefits of Compliance Automation For Multiple Frameworks

Video Transcript

Below is a transcript of the video conversation between Bright Defense’s Co-Founder, Tim Mektrakarn, and Drata’s Head of Product Marketing, Topher Stephenson.

Tim: “How does compliance automation help customers who need to meet multiple frameworks?”

Topher: “This is the thing I’m most excited about. This is actually the biggest benefit of compliance automation because what a lot of people realize but what’s hard to implement without compliance automation is the standards and requirements across frameworks are the same. If you look at ISO 27001 and SOC 2, it’s like 50% of the standards are the same between the two of them.

When you use compliance automation platforms like Drata, we standardize all those requirements, so you only have to implement one control. That one control applies across all the different frameworks. When you’re trying to scale your compliance program, which a lot of our customers are trying to do, it makes it some much easier because you aren’t starting from scratch each time. You have a baseline that you are growing from and it makes it easier to take on that next framework.”

Tim: “We see that with our customers. They are typically starting with ISO 27001 or SOC 2, and they are quickly adding another framework. Having the Drata control frameworks already mapped out saves us a lot of time and helps us implement things more quickly.
