How the Axipro × Drata Accelerator Works
Compliance automation platforms handle evidence collection and control monitoring brilliantly — but they can’t tell you whether your scope is right, your controls are defensible, or your evidence will hold up under audit. That’s where teams get stuck, and where timelines slip from weeks to months. That’s also where we shine.
With over 4,000 engagements under our belt, here’s the typical timeline for certification with Axipro.
Scope & Gap Assessment
We validate your scope, map your controls to your actual business operations, and identify gaps before Drata is configured — not after. You get a clear roadmap with no ambiguity about what’s needed.
Implementation & Readiness
We configure Drata alongside your team, assign control ownership, build evidence workflows, and run a structured readiness review. Every finding gets resolved before your auditor sees it.
Audit Support & Certification
We coordinate with your auditor, draft clarifications, manage remediation, and keep the process moving. You focus on your business — we handle the audit.

OUR FRAMEWORKS
Frameworks We Implement with Drata
SOC 2 Type I & II · ISO 27001 · HIPAA · GDPR · PCI DSS · NIST CSF · CMMC · DORA
SOC 2
Axipro is a leading Drata SOC 2 partner. The most-requested security certification in the US market. SOC 2 evaluates how service organizations protect customer data across five Trust Services Criteria: Security, Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, and Privacy. Available as Type I (point-in-time) or Type II (over a period), with Type II preferred for enterprise deals.
ISO 27001
The global gold standard for information security. ISO 27001 demonstrates that your organization systematically protects sensitive data through a comprehensive Information Security Management System (ISMS). Required by enterprise customers worldwide and the foundation for most other security frameworks.
ISO 42001
The world's first international standard for artificial intelligence management systems. ISO 42001 helps organizations develop, deploy, and use AI responsibly through structured governance, risk management, and ethical considerations. Increasingly important as AI regulations like the EU AI Act take effect globally.
ISO 27017
A specialized extension of ISO 27001 designed specifically for cloud service providers and cloud customers. ISO 27017 addresses unique cloud security challenges including shared responsibility, multi-tenancy, virtualization, and cloud-specific access controls. Essential for proving cloud security to enterprise buyers.
HIPAA
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act establishes mandatory privacy and security standards for protected health information (PHI) in the United States. HIPAA applies to healthcare providers, health plans, healthcare clearinghouses, and any business associates handling PHI on their behalf.
ISO 27701
An extension of ISO 27001 specifically focused on privacy management. ISO 27701 helps organizations implement a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS) that demonstrates compliance with global privacy regulations like GDPR, CCPA, and others. Certification proves systematic, ongoing privacy management.
PCI DSS
The mandatory security standard for any organization that processes, stores, or transmits credit card data. PCI DSS establishes 12 core requirements covering network security, data protection, vulnerability management, and access controls. Non-compliance can result in heavy fines, increased transaction fees, and loss of card processing privileges.
GDPR
The world's most comprehensive data protection law, governing how organizations collect, process, store, and transfer personal data of EU residents. GDPR applies regardless of where your company is based—if you serve EU customers, you must comply. Violations can result in fines up to €20 million or 4% of global revenue.
ISO 9001
The world's most widely adopted quality management standard. ISO 9001 helps organizations demonstrate their ability to consistently deliver products and services that meet customer and regulatory requirements. Often required for government contracts, enterprise procurement, and international expansion.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to already have Drata before working with Axipro?
No. If you’re already on Drata, we’ll work within your existing setup. If you haven’t chosen a platform yet, we can help you evaluate whether Drata is the right fit, handle onboarding, and configure it alongside your compliance program from day one. We also work with teams using other platforms, though our deepest expertise is with Drata.
How long does it take to get audit-ready?
A typical SOC 2 engagement takes around 6 weeks from kickoff to audit-ready. The exact timeline depends on your current security posture, the framework(s) you’re pursuing, and how quickly your team can action items on their side. During the free readiness assessment, we’ll give you a realistic timeline based on where you actually stand — not a generic estimate.
What frameworks does Axipro support?
We implement and manage compliance programs across SOC 2 Type I and II, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, PCI DSS, NIST CSF, CMMC, DORA, ISO 9001, ISO 13485, ISO 14001, ISO 22000, ISO 45001, R2, and SOX. If you need multiple frameworks, we build a unified program so you’re not duplicating effort across certifications.
What happens after we get certified?
Certification isn’t the finish line — it’s the beginning of an ongoing compliance obligation. Axipro offers continuous compliance management so your controls stay effective, your evidence stays current, and renewals don’t turn into fire drills. We can manage your program on an ongoing basis or support you only at renewal time, whichever fits your team.
What does Axipro actually do that Drata doesn't?
Drata automates evidence collection, control monitoring, and audit workflows, and it does that very well. What it doesn’t do is tell you whether your scope is right, whether your controls are appropriate for your business, or whether your evidence will survive auditor scrutiny. Axipro handles the judgment calls: scoping, control design, readiness validation, audit coordination, and remediation. Think of it as Drata runs the engine, Axipro makes sure you’re driving in the right direction.
Do we need to be in the same location?
Engagements are delivered however works best for you. Most clients work with us fully remotely, but we can accommodate hybrid or on-site arrangements depending on your needs and preferences.
Is there a minimum company size?
No. We work with pre-revenue startups preparing for their first SOC 2, mid-market companies adding ISO 27001 for enterprise sales, and established businesses managing multiple frameworks. The engagement is scoped to your size and complexity, not a one-size-fits-all package.
What does the free readiness assessment include?
It’s a 30-minute session where we review your current compliance posture, identify your biggest gaps, and give you a realistic timeline and scope estimate for certification. You’ll walk away with a clear picture of what’s needed — whether you work with us or not. No commitment, no sales pressure.
