AI-Native Compliance (Strac Comply) Splits the Vanta/Drata Market Into 'Evidence-Only' vs 'Evidence + Active Security'

Strac·low signal

On the Friday security/compliance beat, AI-native entrants like Strac Comply are repositioning the GRC category by bundling SOC 2/HIPAA/ISO 27001/GDPR/PCI evidence automation with native DLP and active data-security enforcement — explicitly framing incumbents Vanta, Drata, and Secureframe as 'evidence-only.' The architectural claim is that an agent that both proves and *enforces* controls collapses two product categories (compliance automation + data security) into one. Lower confidence given vendor-sourced framing, but the category split — passive evidence collection vs active agentic remediation — is the real 2026 dividing line for security SaaS.
