Short answer

How do I check my compliance readiness with AI?

Your AI pulls live data from Drata to show you which controls are passing or failing for specific frameworks. You get a clear view of your readiness scores and exactly where you need to fix things. This breakdown shows you how to move from raw data to actionable fixes.

Where every issue lands.

Compliance visibility outcomes

The AI organizes your Drata data into these specific views.

GAP ANALYSIS

Identify failing controls

The AI scans your active framework and flags every control that isn't meeting requirements. You'll see exactly what's broken.

SCORE TRACKING

Monitor readiness scores

Get a high-level look at your percentage of completion for SOC 2, ISO 27001, or other frameworks. It tracks your progress over time.

AUDIT PREP

Review specific requirements

Pull up the details for any individual control to see what evidence is missing. This helps you prep for auditors without digging through menus.

HUMAN ACTION

Remediate the gaps

The AI identifies the problem, but you're the one who actually fixes the configuration or uploads the missing files in Drata.

The workflow

What your AI does when the data arrives.

The AI acts as a bridge between your chat interface and your Drata environment.

  1. Map your frameworks

    The AI identifies which compliance standards you are currently tracking in Drata.

  2. Audit control status

    It pulls a full list of every control within a specific framework to check their current state.

    drata_list_controls

  3. Inspect specific failures

    When a control is failing, the AI pulls the deep-dive details for that specific item.

    drata_get_control

  4. Summarize readiness

    The AI aggregates the passing and failing counts into a single readiness report for you.
