Drata has opened a new headquarters in San Francisco, marking what it describes as a long-term investment in customers, talent, and the evolving trust landscape.
The announcement comes shortly after the company’s five-year anniversary and follows a period of accelerated growth. Drata reported 190% year-over-year expansion in enterprise customers, alongside 60% year-over-year revenue growth. New enterprise revenue quadrupled over the same period.
Founded to address what it saw as a widening gap between the speed at which companies operate and the pace at which trust is validated, Drata positions its platform as a continuous trust management system. The company describes its approach as delivering a unified layer across governance, risk, compliance, and assurance.
“Five years ago, we founded Drata to solve a fundamental gap: the way trust was proven couldn’t keep pace with how modern businesses operate,” said Adam Markowitz, CEO and co-founder of Drata. “Today, trust is the infrastructure behind every business interaction, especially as AI changes how decisions are made. As Drata continues to grow, we’re excited to keep building the system of record that makes trust continuous, operational, and embedded into how companies manage risk and execute with confidence.”
Drata says it has surpassed $100m in annual recurring revenue within its first four years, before accelerating further in 2025. The platform now serves more than 8,000 customers across 80 countries, including Fortune 100 companies and a third of the Cloud 100.
Over the past year, the company has launched more than 400 new features. Many are anchored in AI-powered capabilities designed to streamline security reviews, identify compliance gaps in real time, and automate security questionnaires. Drata reports that its AI-powered security questionnaire assistance tool has processed two million questions to date.
Its Trust Center product has also influenced more than $20bn in security-related revenue, according to the company, by streamlining how organisations share and validate security information during procurement processes.
The San Francisco headquarters is positioned as a strategic base in the United States’ largest technology hub. Drata says the move will support closer collaboration with customers and partners, and help shape the development of trust infrastructure as AI adoption expands across industries.
Alongside the relocation, the company announced several new initiatives. A redesigned platform experience — referred to as the “New Drata Experience” — is set to launch soon, aiming to make trust evidence, risk signals, and assurance outcomes easier to interpret and act on.
Drata has also launched a biweekly podcast, When Trust Meets AI, hosted by Markowitz. The series features conversations with security leaders and builders exploring how artificial intelligence is reshaping compliance, risk management, and assurance.
The expansion into San Francisco reflects a broader shift within the governance and compliance market, as enterprises seek integrated systems capable of managing continuous risk monitoring. With AI accelerating operational complexity, demand for platforms that unify trust, oversight, and reporting functions is increasing across sectors.
