Diligio vs Drata
Continuous compliance automation, compared with an agent-assisted product built on your questionnaire knowledge base.
Drata is known for strong continuous monitoring and a polished, automation-heavy experience across a wide set of frameworks. Diligio Compliance overlaps on the goal, an audit-ready posture kept current between audits, but takes a different route: your own AI agent proposes evidence and statuses for a human to certify, and the whole thing runs on the same knowledge base that answers your security questionnaires. Drata is more mature on monitoring and integrations today; Diligio Compliance leads on agent autonomy and the shared knowledge base.

Where Diligio Compliance is different
An agent you control, with a human-certify gate
Drata automates evidence through tests and monitoring. Diligio Compliance opens that to your own AI agent over MCP or REST, which proposes evidence and control statuses across a framework while a human certifies before anything is attested, with an instant kill switch and a full audit trail.
One knowledge base for questionnaires and compliance
Diligio Compliance runs on the same knowledge base as Diligio Respond, so the approved answers that win your deals also drive your Trust Center and your posture. In Drata, questionnaire automation and compliance are largely separate products.
A flat, published price
Drata is sold by custom quote with no public rate card; third parties report entry pricing from roughly $7,500 per year as of 2026. Diligio Compliance is a flat $1,999 per company per year, with a $499 first year for startups.
Where Drata is still ahead, honestly
Drata has a longer-established, broader continuous-monitoring and integration footprint, and broader framework coverage today. If that breadth is your top priority right now, Drata is the stronger choice. Diligio Compliance wins when you want agent autonomy, the shared knowledge base, and a flat price.
Who should choose which
Choose Drata if

Choose Diligio Compliance if
you are targeting ISO 27001 or SOC 2, you want an agent you control with a human-certify gate, and you want your compliance posture to share one knowledge base with your questionnaire and RFP answering.
