A new interface only matters if it improves how teams actually work.
That’s exactly what our customers are understanding as they explore the New Drata Experience.
Released in February, it represents a fundamental shift in how GRC teams navigate, act, and scale their programs. Early feedback signals how it’s something bigger than a redesign, offering smoother navigation, clearer workflows, and far less time spent digging through information. And that’s only the beginning.
Here’s how customers are experiencing it.
The Challenge — Remove GRC Speed Bumps
GRC teams don’t struggle because of a lack of tools—they struggle because of friction between them.
Navigation that requires too many clicks. Workflows that break context. Data that lives across tables, reports, and spreadsheets. Teams are forced to hunt for answers instead of acting on them.
As programs grow, so does the problem:
Reviews take longer because context is scattered
Manual updates and imports slow down progress
Teams rely on spreadsheets to fill workflow gaps
Time-to-action stretches when it should shrink
The result? Compliance becomes reactive instead of continuous.
The Solution — A More Intuitive, Action-Driven Experience
The New Drata Experience changes how teams move through compliance work—bringing navigation, context, and action together into a single, unified flow.
For many teams, the biggest shift is immediate.
“The UI feels a lot smoother, and the cleanup of the left-side navigation makes the experience easier to work through. ”
“The interface looks a lot more friendly than the previous version. It feels easier to navigate and work in.”
“The new user experience feels like a whole new generation of the product.”
Behind these positive reactions is a system designed for how teams actually work:
Smarter navigation reduces friction and eliminates feature hunting
Persistent panels and detail pages keep context visible while you act
Configurable tables with saved preferences adapt to each team’s workflow
Powerful search and filtering surface the right data instantly
Bulk import capabilities eliminate days of manual work and support tickets
These capabilities make it easier to find what you need and allow teams to move through tasks without unnecessary friction.

The Impact — Early Feedback, Real Results
While the rollout is still in progress, early reactions point to a consistent theme: the experience is simply easier to work in. It helps our customers get more done, faster.
“I like the new look of the platform and I’m looking forward to using it more once everything is fully rolled out.”
The impact is readily apparent across customer feedback. Users report faster navigation and less time searching, quicker movement from insight to action, and reduced reliance on spreadsheets. And most importantly, greater confidence in day-to-day workflows.
And in many cases, tasks that once took days—like bulk updates or evidence imports—can now be completed in minutes.
Why It Matters — A Foundation for Modern GRC
This isn’t just a better interface—it’s a better way to operate.
The New Drata Experience makes it even easier to enjoy continuous compliance instead of point-in-time audits and scalable workflows that grow with your program. It enables faster, more confident decision-making powered by future-ready automation and AI-driven insights.
It’s a shift from managing compliance to actually operating it.
