Partnership connects Drata’s agentic trust management platform with Captain Compliance’s privacy compliance software for companies that need to prove security, manage privacy obligations, and move faster with customers, auditors, and enterprise buyersSAN DIEGO, June 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Captain Compliance, a privacy compliance software company helping businesses manage consent, cookie compliance, data subject access request (DSAR) workflows, privacy policies, vendor disclosures, and continuous website privacy monitoring, today announced an official partnership with Drata, the leading agentic trust management and compliance automation platform. The partnership brings together two critical layers of modern compliance: Drata’s security compliance and trust automation platform, and Captain Compliance’s privacy compliance software built for the realities of today’s regulatory, litigation, and enterprise procurement environment. Companies are no longer being asked only whether they have security controls in place. They are being asked how they collect data, how they honor consumer privacy rights, how their websites use cookies and tracking technologies, whether they recognize Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals, how they disclose vendors, how they manage DSARs, and whether their privacy representations match what is actually happening across their digital properties. “Drata and Captain Compliance share the same challenger mindset,” said Richart Ruddie Captain, Compliance CEO. “We are both fast-growing companies competing in categories historically defined by larger, more complex platforms. Our belief is simple: the next generation of category leaders will be the companies that move faster, build better technology, stay closer to customers, and make compliance feel less painful. This partnership brings that philosophy to both security compliance and privacy compliance. The future of compliance will not be won by legacy complexity. It will be won by focused companies that innovate faster, listen closer, and give customers a better way to build trust.”  Security compliance and privacy compliance are now moving together.Companies need Drata to automate security compliance, collect evidence, and prove trust to customers and auditors. But they also need Captain Compliance to own the privacy layer—consent banners, cookie scanning, privacy policies, DSARs, GPC requirements, vendor disclosures, data broker laws, and continuous monitoring. Together, Drata and Captain Compliance give companies a stronger, more complete path to building trust. Drata helps companies automate security and compliance programs across major frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS, GDPR, and other trust and risk frameworks. Captain Compliance helps companies operationalize privacy compliance across websites, applications, customer data workflows, and consumer-facing privacy obligations. Closing the Gap Between Security Compliance and Privacy Risk For startups, SaaS companies, healthcare companies, financial services businesses, and other growth-stage organizations, compliance has become a revenue requirement. Enterprise buyers, investors, procurement teams, security reviewers, privacy counsel, and regulators increasingly expect companies to demonstrate that they have both security controls and privacy controls in place. Security automation alone does not answer every privacy question. A SOC 2 program may help prove that a company has controls around security, availability, confidentiality, processing integrity, or privacy. But companies also need operational tools to manage what is happening on their websites and in their customer-facing data practices. The partnership gives companies a practical way to pair Drata’s agentic trust managementplatform with Captain Compliance’s privacy compliance infrastructure, helping teams reduce manual work, strengthen their compliance posture, and support faster customer trust reviews. A Better Compliance Stack for the Modern Buyer The modern enterprise buyer does not separate security, privacy, and trust the way companies once did. A customer review may ask for SOC 2. A procurement questionnaire may ask about GDPR. A legal team may ask about state privacy laws. A privacy reviewer may ask about cookies, pixels, data sharing, opt-outs, DSARs, and vendor disclosures. A regulator or plaintiff may later examine whether the company’s public-facing privacy disclosures were accurate. Companies need a compliance stack that reflects that reality.
