Drata Partner Australia: Implementation and Managed Compliance

Full Drata implementation and fully managed compliance, backed by the CyberPulse audit team. We run the whole program, not just the platform.

Drata | CyberPulse

Drata continuously monitors your controls and automates the evidence behind SOC 2, ISO 27001, CPS 234 and dozens of other frameworks. The platform is powerful, but certification and ongoing compliance take more than software. CyberPulse is your Drata MSP partner in Australia for the complete outcome: implementing Drata properly, then operating your compliance program end to end, led by people who conduct these audits themselves.

Drata is newly established in the region, so this is the moment to build a compliance program on it with an audit-led local partner rather than working it out alone. Contact CyberPulse to discuss your Drata requirements.

The Drata Difference

The Drata Difference

The Drata Platform

Continuous Control Monitoring

Drata runs automated tests across cloud, identity, devices and code and continuously monitors controls, and we configure it to satisfy real assessment and remediate failures for you.

Automated Evidence and Frameworks

Drata collects evidence through a large integration library and supports 20-plus frameworks including SOC 2, ISO 27001, ISO 42001, PCI DSS 4.0, HIPAA, GDPR, NIST and CMMC, and we map shared controls so frameworks reuse existing work.

Trust Center and Questionnaires

Drata Trust Center publishes your posture to prospects, and questionnaire automation accelerates security reviews, and we turn compliance into a sales accelerator.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you only set up Drata, or manage compliance as well?

Both. We implement Drata and then fully manage your compliance program, backed by our audit team, so you reach and keep certification.

Can you get us certified for SOC 2 or ISO 27001?

Yes. We manage the controls and evidence and support you through the audit itself.

We already use Drata. Can you take it over and manage it?

Yes. We adopt existing Drata environments, correct the setup, and move you to managed compliance.

Is Drata available in Australia?

Yes. Drata has established in the APAC region and supports the frameworks Australian businesses need.

How quickly can we be audit-ready?

Automation plus a managed program typically compresses the timeline significantly compared with a manual, in-house effort.

Drata or Vanta?

Both are strong. The right fit depends on your frameworks, integrations and budget. We assess objectively and can manage either platform.

Do we buy Drata direct or through CyberPulse?

We provide licensing together with implementation and managed compliance as a single engagement, with one point of accountability.

Why use an audit-led partner?

Software cannot implement a control, remediate a finding or answer an auditor. Because we run audits, we set Drata up to the standard assessors apply and manage it so you certify sooner.

Do you replace our compliance team?

We augment or run it for you, depending on your needs, and always leave you with clear ownership and reporting.

What They Say About Us

The managed service model delivers that, while freeing my team from the bulk of compliance coordination effort and lifting the quality of both controls and supporting evidence. The outcome is a programme with the capacity to mature further and to take on new certification frameworks proactively, ahead of client and regulatory triggers.
Sunil SaaleChief Information Security Officer, MinterEllison
What stands out is the depth of expertise. CyberPulse brings real command of the standards and the threat landscape, and applies it with judgement rather than box-ticking. Year on year they strengthen our security and compliance maturity and give leadership confidence that risk is genuinely understood, not just documented.
Raghu GandhyChief Information Security Officer, Veolia
CyberPulse gave us clarity we didn't have before, not just on where we stood but a practical path forward. The roadmap they delivered has become the foundation of how we think about security investment.
Jimmy O'ReganHead of IT, Major NRL Club & Hospitality Group
Their guidance was practical, clear, and always grounded in what actually mattered for our business. They didn't just help us tick boxes; they helped us build a security posture we're genuinely proud of. If you're serious about enterprise-grade security, I can't recommend Cyber Pulse highly enough.
