Kickstart your compliance with our guided program.
An expertly designed program to fast-track your compliance success in Drata. You do the work in your own instance, and we're beside you throughout with expert guidance, real auditor feedback, and a clear roadmap. Free for Drata clients.
Direction, not guesswork.
Most teams starting out in Drata don't lack effort. They lack a clear view of what matters, in what order, and how good is good enough. This program gives you that clarity, with an expert beside you the whole way.
You leave every session knowing exactly what comes next, who owns it, and what evidence it produces in Drata.
You do the work in your Drata instance. We're there at each step to review it and tell you plainly what to expect in the audit.
Progress is tracked against the audit criteria, not just a task list, so you'll know exactly where you stand at the end of the program.
The program ends with a readiness assessment: where you stand, what's left, and how to close it for your first SOC 2 outcome.
Step-by-step across four weeks.
Four live working sessions plus asynchronous support to cover everything you need to build a credible, scalable, "just enough" compliance program in Drata.
