Great compliance starts before your first audit.
For growth-stage startups, building a security and compliance program can feel overwhelming — too many frameworks, too many tools, and not enough internal expertise to know where to begin. The companies that move fast and get it right don’t go it alone. They work with partners who are aligned on the same mission: making compliance accessible, achievable, and scalable.
That’s exactly the spirit behind today’s announcement.
We’re thrilled to officially announce our new partnership with Drata, the Agentic Trust Management Platform that provides the trust network businesses use to operate, scale, and partner with confidence. . Together, Captain Compliance and Drata are making it faster and easier for startups and growing businesses to build world-class security programs,from their very first compliance milestone to enterprise scale.
What Drata Does
Drata provides the trust network that enables businesses to operate, scale, and partner with confidence. Drata continuously monitors and collects evidence of your security controls, automates compliance workflows across 30+ pre-built frameworks (including SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST, HIPAA, and GDPR), and makes it easier to share a real-time view of your security posture with customers and partners.
What Captain Compliance Does
Captain Compliance is a compliance consultancy and education platform built specifically to guide startups and SMBs through the complex world of regulatory compliance. We combine expert guidance, practical resources, and hands-on support to help businesses understand what compliance means for them — and then take clear, confident action. Whether you’re preparing for your first SOC 2, navigating GDPR requirements, or building a privacy-first culture, Captain Compliance is your guide.
Why We’re Partnering
Our missions are complementary. Drata offers companies a unified, automated platform to achieve, maintain, and demonstrate trust across compliance frameworks, internal and third-party risk, and customer-facing security assurance. Captain Compliance gives companies the privacy tools and expert support needed to understand privacy compliance and make smart decisions along the way. Together, we cover the full journey.
For startups in particular, this matters. Early-stage teams often lack a dedicated compliance officer, in-house legal counsel, or prior experience navigating frameworks like SOC 2 or ISO 27001. They need both the right tools and the right guidance. This partnership delivers exactly that.
