Drata Alternative

Modern, AI-Native Trust and Compliance

Start with a public trust center that helps you close deals now, then add controls, frameworks, and the full compliance program whenever you are ready. Drata is an audit-first GRC suite sold by quote, with the trust center bolted on through its SafeBase acquisition; Concord flips it, at published pricing.

  • AI That Answers, on a Trust Center Buyers Use

    Questionnaires and RFPs answered by agents that learn from your corrections, on a trust center buyers can serve themselves from under NDA.

  • Published Pricing, Free to Start

    Drata is quote-only with reported onboarding fees on top of the license. Concord publishes a slider from $199/mo and gives every account a free branded trust center.

  • The Full Program on One Platform

    Adopt controls, attach evidence, and grant scoped auditor access from the same platform, with continuous control monitoring, a risk register, and vendor risk management alongside.

The Concord Difference

Built for teams whose deals wait on the security review

  • Start on the Trust Center, Grow Into Compliance

    Land on a modern trust center today, then add controls, evidence, frameworks, and an auditor portal on the same platform as your program matures. One vendor, from your first questionnaire to your next audit.

  • Published Pricing, No Sales Gate

    A public slider priced on external companies reached, not seats, with a stated overage rate. Transparent pricing has been the number one vendor ask from B2B buyers four years running (TrustRadius).

  • AI-Native, Not AI Bolted On

    Agents draft questionnaires and RFPs, learn from every correction, and answer buyers on your trust center. Connect Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP assistant to ask across your trust data directly.

  • A Real Free Tier, on Your Own Domain

    Every plan includes a branded trust center at a {slug}.trustcenter.to domain with gated access and approval workflows. Not a trial, and not a logo-walled demo.

  • Built to Close the Deal, Not Pass the Audit

    A trust center is a sales asset. Buyers self-serve the documents, answer their own questions, and stop holding your pipeline while a questionnaire sits unopened in an inbox.

  • Connected to the Rest of Your Compliance Work

    Policies managed in Concord Privacy surface in the Trust Center, so what a buyer reads tracks what you actually operate. Trust stands alone; running both compounds.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Concord covers the buyer-facing side, the trust center, security questionnaires, and RFP responses, and the full program underneath: controls, evidence, frameworks, the auditor portal, continuous control monitoring, a risk register, and vendor risk management. Drata is a mature GRC platform; Concord is the modern, AI-native alternative, buyer-facing first.

Drata is quote-only, and buyer-reported contracts start in the five figures, climbing with each added framework, the trust center (via SafeBase), and risk or vendor modules, on top of onboarding fees and renewal escalators. Concord Trust Pro is $199 per month for 100 external companies on a public slider, annual at ten times monthly, with a free tier below it. The real difference is published pricing you can read up front versus a quote whose total depends on how many modules get bundled in.

Drata acquired SafeBase in February 2025 and it now serves as the trust center layer of the Drata platform. SafeBase pricing moved to drata.com and the standalone free tier was discontinued for new buyers. If you are evaluating the trust center on its own, see our SafeBase comparison.

You start on the trust center and questionnaire and RFP automation, then add controls, evidence, frameworks (including AI governance standards like ISO/IEC 42001 and the NIST AI RMF), a scoped auditor portal, continuous control monitoring, a risk register, and vendor risk management on the same platform, so the buyer-facing entry point grows into the full program without buying a second vendor.

No. Concord Trust stands alone. If you also run Concord Privacy, policies managed there surface in the Trust Center so buyer-facing content tracks actual operations, but that is a bonus rather than a prerequisite.
