🥁A BIG Announcement 🥁 Drata has acquired oak9 and is officially launching ✨ Compliance as Code ✨ making Drata the ONLY compliance automation platform that monitors compliance both before and after code is deployed to production! When we started Drata 3 years ago, Troy, Daniel, and I defined compliance automation as the continuous monitoring and evidence collection of security controls - and our team has delivered on this definition in a major way for thousands of incredible customers. Now, with Compliance as Code by Drata, developers, engineers, and GRC teams are empowered to "shift compliance left" – to bring monitoring (AND even remediation!) into the software development life cycle earlier. We’ve seen firsthand how GRC teams struggle addressing compliance issues at the end of their development lifecycle, which creates massive inefficiencies, frustration, and risk. Instead of retroactively and repeatedly fixing compliance gaps after code has already been deployed, GRC teams told us how they dreamt of being able to proactively ensure that infrastructure as code is compliant before deploying it. And now they can! 📣 Drata Compliance as Code: ✨ Save Time and Resources Guarantee compliance ONCE at the beginning vs fixing the same issues over and over at the end ✨ Boost Security Automate remediation before issues become gaps in production ✨ Grammarly for Compliance Let developers ship compliant code without needing to be security compliance experts ✨ Realize Actual Continuous Compliance Nurture a culture of true continuous compliance It’s an honor to officially, and publicly, welcome Om Vyas, Aakash Shah, Ramesh Patel, Brandon Nicoll, Kirk Rehal, Morgan Such, and sai siva satwik kommi to Drata as they’ve integrated their powerful technology to deliver massive value to thousands of global customers. This is just the beginning! 🚀 Welcome to the era of “shift-left compliance.” 😎 Come see Compliance as Code in action at RSA next week at Drata's Booth #2133 in Moscone South! #drataspeed #compliance #complianceascode #shiftleft #shiftleftcompliance #complianceautomation #rsa #rsa2024
