Why teams choose Openlane over Drata
Everything an auditor or customer asks for is already connected, so at audit time you assemble nothing — the proof sits on the same record as the control that produced it. Drata packages that coverage as separate product families.
- Risk, vendor, and registry data live on that record, not in a second tool.
- Its trust center is the acquired SafeBase product, still separately branded.
Write controls in your own language instead of fitting your program to a vendor's taxonomy, then automate against the same GraphQL API the console itself runs on. Drata maps your requirements onto its proprietary Drata Control Framework and exposes a REST API.
- Map one control once and reuse it across every framework that shares the requirement.
- GraphQL API, webhooks, and a CLI — the same surface the console uses.
- Tokens scoped by object and action, so automation reaches only what it should.
Permissions match the work as it changes, layered from the whole organization down to a single object, so access reflects what people do today rather than what a quarterly review last recorded. Drata's User Access Reviews run on a schedule, one active cycle at a time.
- Exempt a member or domain from SSO while MFA stays enforced.
- Included on every plan, with unlimited users and no per-seat charge.
