About:
Drata Agent is a background process that enables continuous security monitoring and automated compliance for the Drata platform. It securely collects telemetry from local machines to verify security controls and compliance posture against frameworks like SOC 2 and ISO 27001. The agent streamlines evidence collection, reducing manual effort for engineering and security teams.
Key Features:
  • Continuous security monitoring and control verification
  • Automated evidence collection for compliance frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001, etc.)
  • Secure, low-impact background data collection
  • Seamless integration with the Drata compliance dashboard
Use Cases:
  • Automating compliance evidence gathering for audits
  • Maintaining continuous security posture monitoring on developer workstations
Alternatives:
  • osquery – osquery provides open-source endpoint visibility and querying, but requires significant custom engineering to build compliance and audit workflows that Drata Agent offers out-of-the-box.
  • Vanta Agent – Similar functionality for the Vanta compliance platform; choice is dictated by the organization's selected compliance automation vendor.
