Why Canadian companies choose SecuritComply
Drata is an excellent, widely used compliance platform built primarily for the US market. The reason Canadian companies look for a Drata alternative is rarely the core SOC 2 workflow, it's everything around it: Canadian frameworks, where the data lives, pricing in CAD, and local support. SecuritComply was built in Canada, for Canadian compliance, from day one.

Feature parity where it counts
SecuritComply covers the modern compliance essentials: 17 frameworks and hundreds of controls, evidence collection, risk register, policy management, vendor risk, an auditor portal, and an AI Virtual CISO. Controls and evidence map across frameworks, so SOC 2 work also advances ISO 27001, CPCSC, and your Canadian privacy obligations. See the SOC 2, ISO 27001, and CPCSC pages for detail.
