LoopIQ Pro for Drata Compliance Automation

LoopIQ Pro is compliance automation software that captures audit-ready release evidence from the software delivery work your engineers already do, then feeds verified proof upstream into your GRC platform. It is built for VPs and directors at regulated mid-market and enterprise teams who use Drata and want stronger, release-level evidence flowing into it. To be clear: LoopIQ complements Drata rather than replacing it, sitting on the SDLC-evidence layer that a monitoring and audit platform depends on.

The problem

Drata does an excellent job automating control monitoring, policy management, and audit readiness across the business. But much of the evidence a SOC 2 or ISO 27001 auditor cares about originates in the SDLC: who authorized a change, whether tests passed, how a release was certified, and how issues were monitored and resolved. That evidence lives in GitHub, CI/CD, scanners, and ticketing, and teams still assemble it by hand at audit time. The gap is not the GRC platform; it is the manual, error-prone hop between delivery and the controls Drata is tracking.

How LoopIQ handles it

LoopIQ makes evidence a byproduct of delivery. As work moves from plan to implementation, test, and deploy, it listens to release events and records the artifacts that answer the five auditor questions: change authorization, access governance, test and validation, release certification, and monitoring and response. Instead of a pre-audit scramble to screenshot approvals and export logs, each release already carries a certified, timestamped record. That verified evidence can then flow to Drata as a cleaner, better-sourced input to the controls it monitors.

Key capabilities

• Automated evidence capture. Approvals, test results, and deployment signals are recorded per release with owners and timestamps, no manual collection.

• Release certification. Every release ships with an audit-ready record of what changed, who approved it, and how it was validated.

• Upstream evidence feed. Verified proof from source control, scanners, and monitoring is captured once and can be handed off to your GRC platform.

• Scanner integration. Results from tools like SonarQube, Snyk, and Checkmarx are tied to the releases and objectives they support.

• Change approval trails. Change authorizations are linked to the releases they govern for clean audit history.

• Unified workspace. Delivery signals and compliance evidence share one system with cross-team visibility.

How it fits your stack

This is not a rip-and-replace. Drata is strong at continuous control monitoring, framework mapping, and running the audit relationship, and it should stay your GRC system of record. LoopIQ positions itself upstream, on the layer where evidence is actually produced. It integrates with GitHub and CI/CD and listens to release events, captures evidence from scanners and monitoring, and then feeds Drata verified, release-linked proof so your controls are sourced from delivery reality rather than after-the-fact reconstruction. There is no native Jira integration, but existing data imports via CSV plus a full database dump with intelligent mapping.

Common questions

Should we replace Drata with LoopIQ? No. If Drata runs your control monitoring and audit program, keep it. LoopIQ complements it by automating the SDLC evidence that feeds those controls, which reduces manual work and strengthens what Drata reports.

What does LoopIQ add that a GRC platform does not? Deep, release-level SDLC evidence. LoopIQ captures change authorization, testing, and release certification at the source, then hands verified proof upstream instead of relying on manual exports.

How hard is it to adopt alongside Drata? LoopIQ connects to your current GitHub and CI/CD and builds evidence from work in progress, so teams keep shipping and your existing Drata workflows gain a cleaner evidence source.
