This integration is designed to empower clients seeking Cyber Essentials compliance, providing automation and essential guidance for Cyber Essentials Plus, which requires independent validation.
Drata’s platform simplifies compliance for over 17 frameworks, including SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, and more, through automated control monitoring and evidence collection. The result is improved security, reduced costs, and less time spent on annual audits.
Cyber Essentials is a set of technical protocols developed by the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) to help organizations of all sizes in various sectors address common cybersecurity challenges. It is essential for certain UK and Ireland government vendors handling sensitive data and demonstrates an organization’s commitment to cybersecurity.
