Security and compliance automation platform Drata has expanded its presence in the APAC region, adding Australia and Asia-based companies as customers, opening a new office in Sydney, Australia and appointing Daniel Ettenhofer as regional VP of sales to lead strategic growth initiatives.
With expansion of its local team and regional infrastructure, including a new APAC data centre launched in Sydney earlier this year, Drata is aiming to ensure customers meet data sovereignty requirements while strengthening their overall trust posture.
Ettenhofer, who most recently served as head of sales and customer success at Servicely, said that with growing regulatory pressures and the need to operate with greater transparency, this is a pivotal moment for GRC in this region.
“Drata is uniquely positioned to empower organisations with AI-driven GRC programs that ease and accelerate the overall journey. I look forward to working closely with our customers to help them navigate these challenges with confidence," he said.
Drata CEO and co-founder Adam Markowitz said GRC is a top priority across the globe, and the stakes for continuous assurance will only grow from here.
“As organisations in APAC accelerate digital transformation and AI adoption, Drata is excited to help them meet growing security, compliance, and regulatory expectations with speed, scale, and confidence," he said.
