Drata for Startups
Drata's partner page now covers channel, technology, and audit partners only. The startup discount is available through Ramp Rewards instead.
This program no longer exists
Drata's partner page is now the Drata Alliance Program for channel, technology, and audit partners, with no startup tier or application path. The 30% off first contract discount is still real but is now claimed through Ramp Rewards rather than from Drata directly. Checked September 13, 2026.
About
Drata no longer runs a direct startup discount program. The partner URL this entry pointed at now resolves to the Drata Alliance Program, which covers channel partners, technology partners, and auditors. There is no startup tier, no published discount, and no application path for a founder.
The discount itself has not vanished, it has moved. Drata offers thirty percent off a first contract through Ramp Rewards, which means the route now runs through a Ramp account rather than through Drata directly.
If you are shopping for SOC 2 automation, start with the compliance programs entry below, which tracks the current Vanta, Drata, and Secureframe terms in one place.
Frequently asked about Drata for Startups
Is Drata for Startups still available?
Drata's partner page is now the Drata Alliance Program for channel, technology, and audit partners, with no startup tier or application path. The 30% off first contract discount is still real but is now claimed through Ramp Rewards rather than from Drata directly. Checked September 13, 2026.
What should startups use instead of Drata for Startups?
The closest live options are compliance-programs, vanta-startups. Each one is listed with its current terms and application link on this page.
Why is this page still published if the program ended?
Because founders still search for it. Removing the page would send them to third-party sites that are still republishing the old terms as if they were current. Keeping it, with the offer stripped out, is the only way to correct the record at the place people actually look.
How can I tell whether a startup credit program is still live?
Open the provider's own startup or partner page and look for a working application form with stated eligibility and credit amounts. Aggregator sites routinely keep listings up for years after a program ends, so a deal roundup is not evidence that the program exists.
