2024 was a standout year for the Drata and AssuranceLab partnership, with remarkable growth, innovative achievements and deep collaboration solidifying our position as the premier compliance combination for clients worldwide. From doubling our mutual customer base to pioneering new programs and technologies, we’re proud to reflect on the success we’ve built together.
Doubling our client base together
This year, we more than doubled our mutual client base, growing from 200 to 400+ clients. This milestone underscores how well Drata’s cutting-edge compliance platform and AssuranceLab’s audit expertise work together to meet client needs.
Our focus on lead generation also hit new heights. In October, AssuranceLab reached a peak of 28 referrals back to Drata, supported by new internal systems and team incentives to drive consistent lead flow.
Additionally, we embraced Drata’s resale model, launching it in August and successfully onboarding 12 clients through this streamlined approach. By bundling Drata licenses with AssuranceLab audits, we’ve simplified sales, increased client retention, and assumed credit risk to ensure client success.
Innovation: AI-powered audits
This year, we introduced an integration between AssuranceLab’s AI-powered audits tool, Lexi, and the Drata platform. This groundbreaking technology enables audits to be completed in under 24 hours, with results seamlessly synced into Drata’s Auditor Hub.
Our engineering teams collaborated to deliver real-time value by automating document ingestion, running AI-powered audit models, and pushing results back into Drata. This innovation is transforming how compliance outcomes are delivered, helping clients achieve faster, more efficient results.
The success of this integration inspired a joint blog post on Harnessing AI in Cybersecurity Compliance Auditing, positioning Drata and AssuranceLab as leaders in AI-driven compliance solutions.
Award-winning partnership
At the start of 2024, we were honored to receive Drata’s Audit Alliance of the Year FY24 Award, recognizing the strength and impact of our collaboration. This award reinforced our position at the top of Drata’s audit partner directory, where we’ve proudly remained throughout the year.
Launching the Compliance Accelerator Program (CAP)
One of the year’s highlights was the launch of our Compliance Accelerator Program (CAP), designed to address a critical gap in the market. Many clients find traditional consulting-led approaches slow or dependency-driven, which can limit their outcomes. CAP, led by AssuranceLab’s auditors, provides tools, guides and expert support to accelerate compliance journeys while staying focused on results. Since its launch, CAP has been a resounding success, with:
CAP is already a game-changer, and we’re grateful to Drata’s Alliance team for their support in launching and scaling this initiative.

Our collaboration delivered significant wins for clients in 2024, including:
Driving enterprise success together
2024 also saw significant wins in the enterprise space, including co-selling successes with clients like Deputy, VIQ and Pirum. These engagements demonstrated our ability to deliver tailored solutions that meet the complex needs of larger organizations, blending the best of Drata’s automation with AssuranceLab’s flexibility.
Looking ahead to 2025
As we wrap up 2024, we’re excited about the opportunities ahead:
