Drata expands partnership with Exclusive Networks across Europe

Sat, 13th Sep 2025

Drata and Exclusive Networks have announced an expanded partnership to make Drata's trust management platform available to IT resellers and Managed Service Providers in the United Kingdom, Ireland, DACH, and Nordic regions.

The move builds on a previous collaboration in the Benelux area and is intended to address growing demand for governance, risk, compliance, and assurance solutions across Europe. The expanded partnership allows Drata's compliance automation offering to be integrated into Exclusive Networks' cybersecurity portfolio across these new territories.

European expansion

Drata's entry into the additional European markets comes as companies across the region face increasingly complex data protection and governance requirements. Organisations must adhere to a broad range of frameworks, including SOC 2, ISO 27001, ISO 42001, NIS2 and DORA, among others.

According to Drata, Exclusive Networks' partner base can now access AI-powered compliance management tools aimed at helping businesses streamline their approach to regulatory adherence. These tools offer continuous monitoring, real-time risk management, and automated evidence collection designed to minimise manual intervention and operational overhead.

Addressing regulatory complexity

"As regulatory demands intensify, companies across all sectors are seeking smarter, more efficient ways to maintain compliance and build customer trust. Extending our partnership with Exclusive Networks allows us to deliver our scalable GRC solutions to even more organisations, empowering them to reduce manual work and stay ahead of evolving standards."

George Bonser, Vice President EMEA at Drata, described the partnership's potential to benefit organisations striving to maintain compliance across varied and evolving legal landscapes. He emphasised the importance of efficient, scalable governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) solutions for maintaining trust and reducing workload.

Support for partners and businesses

Exclusive Networks also underlined the value of bringing Drata's systems to its extended reseller and service provider network. Rob Tomlin, Vice President North Region at Exclusive Networks, commented on the significance of the expansion for resellers and managed service providers operating across these markets.

"We're thrilled to bring Drata's cutting-edge trust management platform to our partners in the UK, Ireland, DACH, and Nordics. This expansion strengthens our cybersecurity portfolio and enables our resellers and MSPs to offer a powerful solution that helps businesses meet rigorous compliance requirements with confidence and ease."

The integration of Drata's trust management software into Exclusive Networks' portfolio is expected to help businesses sustain compliance over time, while mitigating the burden of manual processes and reducing preparation time for regulatory audits.

Product features

Drata's platform offers features such as continuous control monitoring, automated evidence collection, and real-time risk management. These capabilities are designed to cater to companies of varying sizes and compliance maturity, supporting internal GRC objectives as well as customer and partner assurance needs.

The two companies expect that by offering these capabilities across the UK, Ireland, DACH, and Nordics, they can meet growing demand from enterprises and smaller organisations facing increased scrutiny in their handling of sensitive information and operational resilience against current regulations.
