Siege Cyber’s Drata Partnership: Your Path to Streamlined SOC 2 and ISO 27001 Compliance
Securing SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certification has become essential for Australian companies aiming to win client contracts and demonstrate their commitment to information security. However, while Drata streamlines evidence gathering and ongoing control monitoring, research consistently shows that the platform alone represents just a fraction of the complete compliance solution. The real challenge lies in the remaining work, which demands expert implementation guidance and cybersecurity knowledge.
Siege Cyber fills this critical need. As a certified Drata partner, Siege Cyber leverages extensive cybersecurity experience combined with deep platform expertise to guide Australian organisations through their compliance programmes efficiently and effectively.
The Hidden Complexity Behind Drata Implementation
Many companies purchase Drata expecting a turnkey solution, only to encounter unexpected obstacles around platform setup, control implementation, and audit preparation. While Drata’s 120+ vendor integrations and continuous monitoring capabilities are impressive, knowing which connections matter most, interpreting monitoring alerts, and fixing configuration issues requires specialised knowledge that most internal teams simply don’t possess.
Studies show that businesses partnering with certified Drata consultants accelerate their compliance timelines by roughly half. SOC 2 Type I certification, which typically requires 3-5 months through manual processes, becomes achievable in 8-12 weeks with proper automation and expert direction. Similarly, ISO 27001 achieves first-time success faster, dropping from a 12-18 month manual journey to just 12-24 weeks when combined with intelligent platform configuration.
What Siege Cyber Delivers Through Drata Partnership
Siege Cyber provides end-to-end support throughout your entire compliance engagement. The team begins with a thorough security posture review, comparing your current state against SOC 2 or ISO 27001 expectations and creating a phased implementation plan tailored to your business. Next comes detailed platform setup, ensuring every integration functions properly and captures the evidence auditors demand.
For SOC 2 engagements, Siege Cyber helps you substantiate that controls operate effectively throughout your monitoring period, conducts structured risk analysis, ensures documentation completeness, and prepares your team for auditor questioning. For ISO 27001, the team walks you through information asset scoping, risk evaluation using appropriate methodologies, customising your Statement of Applicability, and getting ready for both preliminary and formal audit stages.
Beyond initial certification, Siege Cyber provides ongoing support so you maintain compliance momentum, interpret Drata alerts meaningfully, and stay prepared for your annual recertification. This sustained approach reduces the effort required for recertification by approximately 60%, as opposed to restarting work from scratch each year.
Drata in Australia: Local Expertise Matters
Drata has recently expanded significantly across the Asia-Pacific region, now offering Sydney-based infrastructure for ANZ users managing data locally whilst supporting regulatory frameworks including APRA CPS 234 and Essential Eight. However, working with an Australian Drata partner like Siege Cyber, positioned in Brisbane, provides hands-on support that understands both platform mechanics and the specific regulatory environment Australian businesses navigate.
Siege Cyber’s combination of deep technical security experience, including advanced penetration testing capabilities, ensures you develop a genuine security programme rather than merely satisfying checklist requirements. Recognised throughout the Australian cybersecurity sector for quality delivery and trusted by MSPs nationally, Siege Cyber’s reputation reflects the industry’s confidence in the firm’s competency and professionalism.
