Vanta Alternatives: Drata and Secureframe Compared
Teams considering Vanta alternatives can compare published capabilities, framework coverage, support models, and commercial details before requesting a proposal. The sources we checked do not publish comparable Vanta pricing, and Drata’s plans page does not show plan prices. Secureframe publishes product and customer information, but not a standard product price on the page checked.
Why teams look for alternatives#
The sources we checked document no specific Vanta pricing change, end of life, or feature gap as a trigger for switching. They do document Vanta feature updates, including multiple risk registers, issue management, a My Work page, AI-powered vendor security review summaries, knowledge-base verification settings, and six new integrations in September 2025 according to Vanta.
For a small or mid-size organization, the generic fit questions are whether the available frameworks match current requirements, whether evidence collection and risk workflows fit existing processes, whether trust and questionnaire features are needed, and whether the commercial terms are clear enough for budgeting.
The options#
Drata
Drata separates its offering into GRC and Assurance platforms. Its Foundation GRC plan includes up to 50 FTEs, one pre-mapped framework, pre-built integrations, a Trust Center Standard, AI Questionnaire Assistance Standard, risk management, custom controls, Compliance as Code, and Open API access. The listed pre-mapped frameworks are SOC 2, ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials, HIPAA, and GDPR according to Drata.
Drata’s Advanced GRC plan adds any available framework, custom connections and tests, custom fields and formulas, and add-ons including Risk Management Pro, Workspaces, and custom frameworks. Enterprise adds Risk Management Pro, Compliance as Code Pro, and User Access Review. The plans page does not publish prices.
Drata’s terms say that a user login cannot be shared or used by more than one individual per account. The same terms state that support is provided through chat and ticket from Monday through Friday, 24 hours per day, excluding listed holidays according to Drata.
Secureframe
Secureframe describes its platform as supporting automated evidence collection, continuous monitoring, risk management, automated tests, personnel management, vendor management, asset inventory, and a Trust Center according to Secureframe.
The company lists support for SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS, GDPR, NIST, CMMC, and other frameworks. Its site also describes Secureframe AI, Comply AI for Remediation, Comply AI for Risk, and Questionnaire Automation according to Secureframe.
Secureframe’s 2024 service partner announcement says the platform supports SOC 2, ISO 27001, and CIS, and describes an MSP buying program with usage-based billing, a partner console, dedicated partner managers, and partner support within four business hours. The announcement also says Secureframe supports European frameworks including GDPR, Cyber Essentials, and NIS 2, and has a European data center according to Secureframe. The sources we checked do not publish a standard Secureframe product price.

How to switch#
- Record the current scope. List the frameworks, controls, integrations, evidence sources, users, trust-center needs, questionnaires, and vendor-risk processes currently in use.
- Map requirements to published capabilities. Compare that list with Drata’s Foundation, Advanced, and Enterprise inclusions, and with Secureframe’s published compliance, risk, monitoring, questionnaire, and trust features.
- Confirm commercial details. The sources checked do not publish comparable standard prices for Vanta, Drata, or Secureframe. Request written pricing and identify which capabilities are included, add-ons, or part of a separate product area.
- Plan evidence migration. Identify policies, control records, risk registers, issue records, integrations, and audit materials that must be retained or recreated.
- Run a controlled transition. Keep the existing process available while connecting integrations, validating evidence collection, assigning owners, and checking reports.
- Close the old service deliberately. Export required records, confirm retention obligations, remove integrations and access, and document the changeover.
