Drata has secured a partnership with Distology to accelerate its channel program growth and general global expansion, according to a press release.

"We are incredibly pleased to add Drata to our portfolio, especially considering the rate at which they've rapidly expanded their platform," said Hayley Roberts, CEO of Distology. "This partnership brings a much-needed risk and compliance automation offering for channel partners of all kinds and will help even more companies continuously adhere to stringent compliance regulations." 

Through the partnership, Drata has committed to help Distrology expand its integrated risk and compliance offerings to its catalog of EMEA-based IT resellers.

The expansion is expected to fulfill the demand for compliance-related measures, which is now considered crucial for organizations to protect its customers from global regulations in data protection as it becomes more enforced. 

Drata's automation-led methods and persistent control monitoring streamlines and facilitates processes for regulations such as ISO 27001 and GDPR to help companies of all sizes comply overtime. As a result of the collaboration, Drata now forms part of Distology’s slate of cybersecurity solutions for EMEA companies in need of compliance services.

"Accelerating our global presence with new partnerships, resources and EU data hosting is vital for Drata as we continue supporting our customers with scalable compliance programmes customized to their specific needs," said George Bonser, Drata VP of sales in EMEA. "Working with Distology unlocks new opportunities for us to work with its trusted network of resellers while we bolster our own partner ecosystem."

Drata counts with the support of ICONIQ Growth, GGV Capital, Alkeon Capital, Salesforce Ventures, Cowboy Ventures, S Ventures, Leaders Fund, Okta Ventures, SVCI, SV Angel, Intuit Ventures and other industry leaders.
