MEOK vs Drata
Drata is excellent. It just doesn't cover Europe.
Drata covers more US/global security frameworks than almost anyone (SOC 2, all four ISOs, HIPAA, FedRAMP, CMMC). But the EU AI Act, DORA, NIS2, and the EU CRA aren't on Drata's roadmap. That's our lane.
Frequently asked
Does Drata cover the EU AI Act?
No. Drata covers SOC 2, ISO 27001/27701/27017/27018, HIPAA, GDPR baseline, PCI DSS, FedRAMP, CMMC, and a wide range of US/global security frameworks. The EU AI Act, DORA, NIS2, and the EU CRA are not on Drata's roadmap as of 27 April 2026. For EU AI/cyber regulations you need a bolt-on like MEOK.
Can I run Drata and MEOK together?
Yes — that's the recommended setup. Drata for the operational evidence platform on SOC 2 / ISO / HIPAA / GDPR baseline. MEOK for the EU-regulatory evidence layer on EU AI Act + DORA + NIS2 + CRA + ISO/IEC 42001 + NIST AI RMF. Different control families, different auditor audiences, no overlap.
Drata vs MEOK pricing — what's the real cost?
Drata starts around $7,500/yr at the entry tier and scales to $50,000+/yr for enterprise multi-framework. MEOK Pro is £79/mo (£790/yr annual) and Enterprise is £1,499/mo (£14,990/yr annual). Combined Drata entry + MEOK Pro is approximately £6,000-£8,000/yr for SOC 2 + ISO + EU AI Act + DORA + NIS2 + CRA — typically a quarter of running Drata + a separate EU compliance tool stack.
Does Drata sign cryptographic attestations?
No. Drata produces dashboards, trust pages, and continuous monitoring dashboards that auditors can read. The evidence isn't cryptographically signed for independent verification. MEOK signs every attestation with HMAC-SHA256 and exposes a public verify_url any auditor can curl from outside the platform.
If we use Drata for SOC 2, do we still need MEOK for AI Act?
Yes if you sell into the EU. EU AI Act compliance is a separate legal regime from SOC 2 — being SOC 2 compliant in Drata says nothing about your Article 9 risk management, Article 10 bias mitigation, Article 50 transparency, or Article 26(9) FRIA. Those are AI-specific obligations Drata does not cover.
How do I add MEOK on top of Drata?
Free /scorecard in 90 seconds. Bias Detection (Article 10) is a 7-day free trial then £299/mo. Audit-Prep Bundle is a 14-day engagement at £4,950. No data migration — MEOK is API + signed-evidence side, Drata is dashboard side; they don't share storage.
