Drata has launched a new set of agentic AI capabilities aimed at automating some of the most time-consuming parts of enterprise trust management, with a focus on third-party risk reviews, security questionnaires, and the creation of Trust Centres.
The company said the release is designed to move trust from a reactive process of proving controls into a more continuous operating model. Adam Markowitz, co-founder and CEO of Drata, said: “We’re seeing a fundamental shift in how trust is proven and evaluated, with businesses worldwide now expected to continuously demonstrate trust at scale. With our latest agentic AI capabilities, Drata moves beyond AI for piecemeal tasks to fully agentic workflow ownership, enabling organisations to autonomously assess third-party risk, service questionnaires at speed, and dynamically deliver trust information.”
The first capability, Agentic TPRM Assessment, is now available to all Drata customers. It is designed to automate criteria configuration, evaluate controls against evidence, provide reasoning with deep links back to source material, and convert findings into follow-ups, tracked risks, and executive reports. Drata said the system can also access vendor information held on Drata Trust Centres with explicit consent, helping security teams work from live evidence rather than static uploads.
That targets a longstanding bottleneck in third-party risk management, where teams still spend large amounts of time collecting documents, emailing vendors, and manually reviewing evidence. Sheron Chakalakal, Head of GRC at UiPath, said: “By ingesting live Trust Center evidence and producing criteria based evaluations, Drata eliminates the tedious back-and-forth with vendors and lets our team focus only on real risk — ultimately accelerating reviews and giving our procurement team the confidence to move faster.”
Drata also said Agentic Questionnaire Response is now in beta. The product builds on its existing AI Questionnaire Assistance by orchestrating the wider response cycle, including subject matter expert collaboration, reminders, review readiness, completion, and delivery, while keeping human approvals in place at critical points. A third capability, AI Trust Center Creation, is intended to cut Trust Centre build times from months to hours by generating draft pages and mapped documentation automatically.
The announcement comes alongside the appointment of Bharat Guruprakash as Chief Product and Technology Officer. He joins from Algolia and will lead Drata’s global product and engineering teams as the company expands what it calls an agentic trust management platform.
For enterprise buyers and vendors alike, the announcement points to a faster, more automated model of third-party assurance. Drata’s position is that organisations will increasingly want AI to own more of that operational lift while still keeping humans in control of final decisions.
