Why teams choose Openlane over Drata

Prove your whole program from one record

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.

Your controls, your API

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.

Access that changes when the work does

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.
