## What the story says

Connective uses Drata to centralize SOC 2 evidence, assign control owners, and monitor compliance daily instead of preparing once a year. It also manages additional frameworks, the risk register, policies and vendor tracking in Drata, and uses the Drata Trust Center to answer lender and partner audit requests.

Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of Drata and Connective Broker Services, not ours.

> SOC 2 audits were reduced from four to five months down to just five weeks total, shifting audit prep from a prolonged annual disruption to a predictable, contained process.

- **2 hours**: “2 hours to 100% Essential Eight readiness with cross-mapped controls”
- **30 seconds**: “30 seconds to respond to lender audit requests via Trust Center”
- **2 months**: “2 months from kickoff to first audit using Drata”

> The time to maintain compliance has gone from spot checking once a year to basically day-by-day compliance monitoring.
