Drata Partners with HGS to Simplify Compliance and Drive Business Transformation

SAN DIEGO, Feb. 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Drata, the trust management platform, today announced a strategic partnership with HGS, a leading provider of solutions in digital experience, applied artificial intelligence (AI) business process management (BPM), and digital media services.

For well-established, mature companies, managing large IT environments can be overwhelming, and often disconnected from the wider organization. Deploying the technical expertise of a Global Systems Integrator (GSI) often enables these companies to improve their ability to scale while reducing sales cycles. In addition, GSI partners provide invaluable feedback and insight into product innovation and market opportunities. Drata's partnership with HGS will integrate automated governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) capabilities with implementation, advisory, consulting, onboarding, and outsourcing services for its thousands of customers.

"We're at the forefront of an exciting paradigm shift," said Phani Dasari, CISO & Head of CyberSecurity Services at HGS, reflecting on the new partnership. "In aligning with Drata, we're not just optimizing processes; we're redefining the landscape of business operations assurance. This alliance is about more than innovation—it's a commitment to end-to-end trust and excellence that will resonate with our stakeholders and redefine industry standards."

"Large enterprises are often plagued by manual GRC efforts that bog down the business. Our partnership with Drata combines the power of our digital transformation services while automating GRC to simplify workflows and the overall audit experience," he added.

"Cementing a partnership with a leader such as HGS is yet another significant milestone for Drata and the growth of our channel program," said Kevin Kriebel, SVP of Business Development at Drata. "Our shared value of delivering best in class solutions and support to our customers further amplifies our efforts to automate GRC for large organizations across the globe."
