Declarable and GRC suites such as Vanta and Drata, compared
GRC suites are built for company-wide audits such as SOC 2 and ISO 27001, and that is their strength. Declarable is built for one job: CRA paperwork for firmware products.

- Vanta: You need SOC 2 or ISO 27001 for the whole company, and a CRA framework is secondary.
- Drata: You already run company-wide audit automation and want everything in one place.
