Raize Orion vs Drata
A procurement-stage decision guide. Every cell below cites the Drata page it came from, and carries the date we last verified it. If a row looks out of date, email us at hello@raizehq.dev and we'll re-check.
When Raize Orion is the better fit
- You need IASME Cyber Assurance (UK standard).
- You need EU data residency by contract.
- You want a Trust Center bundled, not bought separately.
- You want a single all-in price that does not climb with team size or framework count.
- You want a UK-based team and direct founder access during the trial / first quarter.
- You need NIS2 Art. 23 reporting-clock infrastructure documented end-to-end (24h / 72h / 1-month with per-source SLAs).
When Drata may be the better fit
- You are an existing Drata customer with deep integrations live, and the cost of migration outweighs the trust-center / residency wedge.
- You already bought SafeBase / Drata Trust Center and the joint contract is favourable.
- You need depth on US-government frameworks (FedRAMP, CMMC 2.0) at the level Drata invests.
- Your buyer base is US-only and EU data residency is not a procurement gate.
Including this block is intentional — buyers spot one-sided comparisons instantly, and that costs more trust than it earns.

IASME Cyber Assurance
Raize Orion
Bundled — 61 requirements, 13 themes
Drata
Not listed in the public framework catalogue
Note: Drata ships Cyber Essentials but not IASME (UK risk-based assurance). If you need IASME the difference is material; otherwise not.

Public Trust Center
Raize Orion
Bundled at every tier (/trust/{slug})
Drata
Separate SKU since the SafeBase acquisition. Public sources indicate $5,000–$20,000/yr.
Note: Drata acquired SafeBase and now offers the Trust Center as a separate purchase. This is genuinely different — verify with Drata for your specific quote.

NIS2 incident reporting clock
Raize Orion
Built-in 24h / 72h / 1-month reporting clock with per-source SLAs, anchored on upstream signal time.

Cyber Essentials
Raize Orion
Bundled — Five technical themes + CE Plus independent verification (40 controls)
Drata
Supported per the public framework list
Note: Both support Cyber Essentials. The wedge here is bundling: Raize includes CE in every tier; Drata may scope it per the framework allowance on each plan.

What changes after switching
- Your evidence base + control catalogue migrates with you — we import existing evidence + policy adoption history under a structured engagement.
- Auditor portal tokens get re-issued under Raize's scope-bounded model. Your existing auditor sees the same data with a new login URL.
- Sub-processor list updates from Drata's to ours (Supabase, Vercel, Stripe, Resend, Anthropic, Voyage, Sentry, Cloudflare, GitHub). Customers must be informed under your DPA terms.
- Billing moves to GBP-default, sales-led contract. MSA + DPA on request.
- 30-day overlap window standard for migration of compliance-in-flight programmes.
