Certvik vs Drata

Certvik vs Drata —
built specifically for Microsoft 365 environments

Both Certvik and Drata help with ISO 27001 and SOC 2 compliance automation. This page explains how they differ — so you can make the right call for your organisation.

Two different focuses

Drata is a compliance automation platform designed for organisations with complex, multi-cloud environments. It connects to a large number of SaaS tools, cloud providers, and infrastructure systems to gather evidence across the board.

Certvik is focused specifically on Microsoft 365-first organisations. Instead of connecting to dozens of tools, Certvik goes deep on M365 — reading your configuration across Entra ID, Intune, Defender, Exchange Online, and SharePoint via the Graph API, and mapping it to ISO 27001:2022 controls and SOC 2 criteria automatically.

For organisations where Microsoft 365 is the primary source of compliance-relevant data, this focused approach typically delivers a better gap analysis on day one — without the setup overhead of configuring many separate integrations.

Common questions

Is Certvik a direct replacement for Drata?

It depends on your environment. If your organisation runs primarily on Microsoft 365, Certvik's native M365 integration gives you deeper coverage from your existing stack. If you have significant AWS, GCP, or other infrastructure outside M365 that needs monitoring, Drata's broader connector library may be more relevant.

How does Certvik's pricing compare to Drata?

Certvik publishes transparent, per-module pricing on our website — you can see exactly what you'd pay without a sales call. Drata typically requires a quote. We recommend getting pricing directly from Drata for an accurate comparison.

Does Certvik support the same frameworks as Drata?

Certvik currently supports ISO 27001:2022 and SOC 2. Drata supports a wider range of frameworks. If you need HIPAA, PCI DSS, or other frameworks beyond ISO 27001 and SOC 2, check whether Certvik's current framework coverage meets your needs.
