GLACIS + Drata: Better Together
Drata documents your policies. GLACIS proves they executed. Together, you close the AI evidence gap.
The Evidence Gap
SOC 2 proves you have policies.
Regulators want proof they executed.
What Drata Does Well
Drata excels at automating SOC 2, ISO 27001, and HIPAA policy documentation. It tracks your IT controls, collects evidence screenshots, and streamlines audit preparation. For traditional IT compliance, it’s excellent.
- SOC 2 Type II automation
- ISO 27001 policy tracking
- HIPAA documentation workflows
- Audit-ready evidence collection
What GLACIS Adds
AI-specific regulations — the Colorado AI Act, EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF — require runtime evidence: proof that controls actually fired on every AI decision. Policies alone may not satisfy these requirements. GLACIS is designed to provide that proof.
- Cryptographic proof of control execution
- Third-party witness network
- Zero-egress data architecture
- NIST AI RMF + EU AI Act mapping
The bottom line: Drata tells auditors you have controls. GLACIS proves to regulators those controls actually ran — on every AI interaction, with independent witness verification.
Feature Comparison
Different problems, different tools
Drata and GLACIS solve fundamentally different compliance challenges. Here’s where each one leads.

Use Cases
Where you are in your compliance journey
“Already have Drata”
You’ve got SOC 2 covered. Now regulators are asking about your AI systems. GLACIS adds the AI evidence layer to your existing compliance stack — no changes to your Drata setup required.
Assess your AI gap →“Evaluating both”
Start with what you need most. Drata for SOC 2 and ISO 27001. GLACIS for AI governance. They’re independent purchases that work together in your compliance narrative.
View pricing →“Auditor asking about AI”
Your auditor or board wants to know how you govern AI. GLACIS provides the runtime evidence they need — cryptographically signed, independently witnessed, and mapped to recognized frameworks.

Common questions
Does GLACIS replace Drata?
No. They’re complementary. Drata excels at SOC 2, ISO 27001, and HIPAA policy documentation. GLACIS provides AI-specific runtime evidence — cryptographic proof that your governance controls actually executed on every AI interaction. Keep Drata for IT compliance; add GLACIS for AI governance.
Can I connect GLACIS to my Drata workspace?
Integration is on our roadmap. Today, GLACIS and Drata operate independently. GLACIS generates cryptographic evidence of AI control execution, while Drata tracks your IT compliance posture. Both feed into your overall compliance narrative for auditors.
What if I only have AI systems?
GLACIS alone covers AI governance requirements including NIST AI RMF, EU AI Act, Colorado AI Act, and ISO 42001. You don’t need Drata to use GLACIS. Add Drata later when you need SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certification for your broader IT infrastructure.
How does GLACIS handle HIPAA?
GLACIS provides zero-egress architecture — your data never leaves your VPC. The GLACIS sidecar runs inside your infrastructure and only transmits cryptographic commitments (hashes and signatures) to the compliance platform. This means continuous attestation that your AI controls executed per HIPAA requirements, without ever exposing PHI.
What is zero-egress architecture?
Zero-egress means your AI data never leaves your infrastructure. GLACIS runs inside your VPC as a lightweight sidecar and only transmits cryptographic commitments — hashes and Ed25519 signatures — to the compliance platform. The actual prompts, responses, and sensitive data stay in your environment. Drata, by contrast, operates as a cloud-based service that connects to your systems via API integrations.
