Revolutionizing Compliance in 2025: Drata’s AI and Integration Breakthroughs

Video Transcript

Below is a transcript of this video conversation between Bright Defense’s Co-Founders, Tim Mektrakarn and John Minnix, and Drata’s Director of Product, Akanksha Nguyen.

John: “What are some recent highlights of Drata innovation that are most exciting for customers?”

Akanksha: “So we’re working on innovating in two major areas. One is AI, and the other is going really deep on our integrations. We’re really focused on just expanding use cases for our customers.

Typically, an integration is going to help you increase the level of automation you have and bring in information from other systems. But we’re also looking at how these integrations can give you better insights into your overall GRC program, such as how it might be influencing revenue, and really give you a different angle into how your program is running.

On the AI side, of course, we will help you complete your work faster. We have a lot of cool features in that area, like summaries of really long documents, as well as security questionnaire automation that will save you a ton of time.”

John: “When we were looking for a compliance automation platform, one of the things we were really impressed by was Drata’s depth of integrations. And that’s one of the main benefits we see in the platform.”
