Drata, a continuous security and compliance automation platform, announced it has joined the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Independent Software Vendors (ISV) Accelerate Program, a co-sell program for AWS Partners that provide software solutions that run on or integrate with AWS. The program helps AWS Partners drive new business by directly connecting participating ISVs with the AWS Sales organization.
“Since Drata’s founding, we have worked with AWS, from technology support to go-to-market positioning,” said Kevin Kriebel, VP of Business Development at Drata. “By joining the AWS ISV Accelerate Program, we strengthen our commitment to our customers as we work together to promote compliance automation and technology infrastructure as well as simplified transactions in AWS Marketplace.”
Drata’s membership in the AWS ISV Accelerate Program validates Drata as a leading solution provider that offers differentiated value for AWS customers. Through this program, Drata and AWS have aligned to provide exceptional outcomes to AWS customers in further streamlining their ability to automate and monitor their security posture through the lens of risk and compliance.

Connecting AWS to Drata offers continuous monitoring on AWS through automated daily testing and evidence collection to validate the compliance posture of an organization’s AWS footprint for frameworks, standards, and regulations such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, and several others. Additionally, Drata continuously discovers and imports all AWS virtual assets to streamline the asset collection and categorization process, helping to eliminate burdensome manual processes. This allows auditors to review in-scope assets without the need for end-user intervention.
“Using both Drata and AWS hand-in-hand has made our journey to becoming SOC 2 Type 2 compliant painless,” said Adam Ilowite, CEO at Axero Solutions. “These platforms work together and have helped our organization improve our security protocols, and add automated control monitoring. It’s taken the headache out of our continuous compliance efforts.”
