ResiPlan vs Drata
Drata shines at SOC 2 / ISO 27001 automation with well-integrated AI. ResiPlan covers a different scope: ISO 22301 BCMS, 36 risk methodologies, native CRA, DORA and NIS2 for regulated EU organizations.
What Drata does well
AI-forward compliance automation
Drata pushes AI into compliance workflows — policy drafting, evidence requests, auditor chat. Strong product velocity and UX.
Great for mid-market SaaS
Strong fit for Series A–D SaaS companies chasing SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI. Clean onboarding, responsive support.
Broad framework catalog
14+ frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001, ISO 27701, HIPAA, PCI, CMMC, etc.) with continuous control monitoring.
Where ResiPlan wins
Drata has no BCMS ISO 22301
Drata's scope is certification automation. ResiPlan delivers real BCMS: BIA, 8 plan types, reflex cards, cascade analysis, incident management — operational resilience that Drata doesn't address.
CRA (2024/2847) native coverage
SBOM (CycloneDX/SPDX), CVD workflow with RFC 9116 security.txt, Annex I self-assessment, market surveillance reporting. Drata does not cover CRA product security obligations.
36 methodologies vs Drata's generic risk register
FAIR, ISO 27005, EBIOS RM, Bow-Tie, Monte Carlo. Drata has a risk register but no Monte Carlo quantification, no EBIOS, no FAIR — gaps for regulated EU organizations.
DORA Article 5–25 + NIS2 Annex I native
ResiPlan ships EU regulatory mappings out of the box. Drata's DORA and NIS2 support is improving but remains lighter than US-focused frameworks.
Crisis Gaming included
40+ tabletop scenarios, AI injections, scoring, auto-debrief. Drata has no exercise/tabletop engine — regulatory BCMS requires exercises (ISO 22301 clause 8.5, DORA Art. 25).
EU hosting (France, OVH)
Drata runs on AWS US. EU-sensitive customers accept Schrems II SCCs. ResiPlan is hosted at OVH France — no cross-border transfer concerns.
AI module optional — deactivable for sensitive sectors
Defense, intelligence, sovereign or data-restricted organizations can run ResiPlan entirely without AI and keep BCMS, 36 risk methodologies and compliance fully operational. Drata is AI-first by design — the AI cannot be cleanly separated.
ResiGuard Android companion app
Native Android app: plans, reflex cards, incident declaration, crisis notifications — offline-capable. Drata is web-only — compliance-focused tools don't need mobile, but BCMS crisis response does.

Choose Drata if…
- • Your goal is SOC 2 / ISO 27001 / HIPAA certification.
- • You value AI-first UX and cloud automation (AWS, GCP, Azure).
- • CRA, DORA and BCMS aren't in your short-term scope.
- • Your market is US and EU residency isn't a constraint.
Choose ResiPlan if…
- • You're an EU software vendor subject to CRA.
- • You need BCMS, BIA, plans, exercises — not just certs.
- • DORA, NIS2 or quantitative risk methodologies (FAIR, Monte Carlo) are required.
- • EU hosting (France) is critical.
Note: Drata and ResiPlan are complementary. An EU SaaS vendor can use Drata for continuous SOC 2/ISO 27001 + ResiPlan for BCMS, CRA, DORA, NIS2 and quantitative risk.
